NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA'S ONLY JOBTREAD SPECIALISTS.
Not a US consultant working across time zones. Not a software company reading from a script. A building business that got obsessed with getting JobTread right for how we build down here.
Most JobTread training and support is built for the US market. That means QuickBooks, not Xero. Sales tax, not GST. US contracts, not NZ or Australian building agreements. Retention rules that don't match ours. Time zones that make a quick call a scheduling exercise.
If you're a builder in New Zealand or Australia trying to get JobTread working properly, you've probably hit walls that the standard support team can't help you climb.
That's exactly why Build Traction exists.
Joe Byrne has spent 20 years in residential construction in New Zealand. When he implemented JobTread in his own building business, he spent hundreds of hours figuring out what the documentation doesn't cover - GST setup, Xero integration, retentions, local contract formats, and how to make the whole system work the way Kiwi and Australian builders actually operate.
Build Traction was built so other NZ and Australian builders don't have to go through all of that alone.
We're not a consultancy that has read about construction. We're a building company that runs JobTread every day.
WHO WE ARE
BUILT BY A BUILDER.
FOR BUILDERS DOWN UNDER.
WHY LOCAL MATTERS
GST, NOT SALES TAX
JobTread is configurable, but it needs to be set up correctly for New Zealand and Australian tax rules from day one. We know exactly how to do that.
XERO, NOT QUICKBOOKS
Most NZ and Australian builders use Xero. We've integrated JobTread with Xero across multiple businesses and built a dedicated integration tool (BuildZilla) specifically for this connection.
YOUR TIMEZONE
A quick call is actually quick. No 3am Zoom sessions, no waiting 24 hours for a response because your support team is asleep.
LOCAL BUILDING CONTRACTS AND COMPLIANCE
We understand NZ and Australian building contracts, retention requirements, LBP compliance, and how local project structures differ from the US market JobTread was originally built for.
WHAT LOCAL BUILDERS SAY
"Having Jobtread set up properly has been a game changer!"
- Martin, Builder
We're the only NZ and Australian JobTread specialists who have also built a dedicated integration tool between JobTread and Xero. BuildZilla was created because we kept running into the same problem: JobTread and Xero don't talk to each other out of the box the way NZ and Australian builders need them to.
If you're trying to connect your project management and your accounting, we've already solved that problem.
