Keeping your build organized, stress-free, and transparent—just like it should be.
At Lakefront Building & Design, our mission is simple: to provide the best building experience. That means more than just quality craftsmanship—it means communication, organization, and a smooth process from the very first conversation to the final walk-through.
This is why we use JobTread, a construction management platform that helps us keep everything on track and you fully in the loop—without the overwhelm.
Whether you’re just getting started in preconstruction or knee-deep in the build, JobTread gives you a clear view of what’s happening, when, and why.
What Is JobTread?

It keeps everything in one place—no more digging through email threads or scrolling through old text messages. With JobTread, you have a centralized hub for all project details, real-time updates, financial clarity, and easy communication.

Staying Organized with JobTread
Throughout your project, you’ll receive important documents through JobTread that keep everything organized and easy to access. From outlining expectations and confirming design decisions to approving construction details and tracking project milestones, everything is right at your fingertips—whenever you need it.
Some of the documents you may see include:
📝 Preconstruction Service Agreement
🏗️ Preliminary Design Acceptance
📋 Construction Agreement
💵 Draw Requests
🔁 Change Orders
🛡️ Warranty Statements
Staying Connected with Logs & Updates
In addition to documents, you’ll also receive regular logs through JobTread. These include jobsite photos, progress updates, and recaps of calls or site visits to keep you informed every step of the way.
If you live at a distance—like many of our clients in Chicago or Madison—and can’t travel to the Northwoods often, these logs help you stay connected and involved. You’ll always know how your project is progressing, and you can feel confident knowing we’re on top of every detail. It’s all about keeping you informed, earning your trust, and making sure you feel confident in the work we’re doing on your home.
