#776 JACK App Founder Dan Morton – Stop Guessing Your Profit and Start Running a Better Construction Business
About this episode
Running a construction company shouldn't mean drowning in spreadsheets, chasing paperwork, and wondering where your profits disappeared.
This week on The Construction Life Podcast, Manny sits down with Dan Morton, founder of JACK App, an Australian-built construction management platform that's now launching across Canada and the United States.
Dan didn't build JACK because he saw a market opportunity—he built it because he lived the problem.
After years of watching builders, general contractors, and even his own business struggle with disconnected software, manual processes, poor job costing, and limited financial visibility, he set out to create one platform that brings every aspect of a construction business together.
The result is JACK—an all-in-one construction management system designed specifically for residential builders and general contractors who want to spend less time behind a computer and more time building profitable businesses.
During this conversation we discuss why so many contractors still rely on spreadsheets, why job costing is one of the biggest blind spots in construction, how technology can simplify estimating, scheduling, cash flow, client communication, and project management, and where AI is beginning to change the way contractors operate their businesses.
Whether you're running a small renovation company or managing multiple custom home builds, this episode explores how having better information can lead to better decisions—and ultimately, a healthier construction business.
If you've ever wondered where your profits went, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
