Overview
JobTread stores construction data in a flat, project-centric model: clients, vendors, jobs, estimates, proposals, change orders, purchase orders, work orders, bills, invoices, cost catalogs, and schedule items all sit under a job. HubSpot uses a contact-company-deal object graph with lifecycle stages, deal pipelines, and custom properties. These models are fundamentally different — no native one-to-one object exists for JobTread's jobs, financial documents, or cost catalogs in HubSpot. We map clients to HubSpot contacts and companies, vendors to HubSpot companies, jobs to HubSpot deals with a Construction_Job__c custom-property flag, and all JobTread financial documents (estimates, change orders, POs, work orders, invoices) to custom properties on the deal record. Cost catalog metadata (cost groups, unit costs) migrates as deal-level custom properties. Budget amounts and actuals become number-type custom properties on the deal. Workflows, automations, and sequences built in JobTread do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot using HubSpot's workflow tools. We extract from JobTread via API and bulk-load into HubSpot using HubSpot's API and import tools, preserving original timestamps as custom datetime fields so your HubSpot reports reflect your full project history from day one. Pricing explanation follows this section. Typical timeline: 5–10 business days for under 20,000 records, 2–3 weeks for larger or heavily customized JobTread setups.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a JobTread object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
JobTread
Client
HubSpot
Contact + Company
1:1JobTread clients map to HubSpot contacts with company data stored in the HubSpot company record. Client-level custom fields (client_number, trade_type, preferred_contact_method) become custom properties on the HubSpot contact. The primary company from JobTread links to the HubSpot company via the contact-to-company association.
JobTread
Client
HubSpot
Company
1:1JobTread clients that are organizations (rather than individual contacts) are migrated as HubSpot companies. Client address, phone, and website fields map to HubSpot's native company properties. Client-specific fields like client_number become custom company properties for traceability. and data integrity standards.
JobTread
Vendor
HubSpot
Company
1:1JobTread vendors are migrated as HubSpot companies with a Vendor__c custom property flag set to true. Vendor contact persons within JobTread become HubSpot contacts linked to the vendor company. Vendor-specific fields (tax_id, payment_terms, vendor_number) become custom properties on the company record.
JobTread
Job
HubSpot
Deal
1:1JobTread's Job object is the core construction record. It maps to a HubSpot deal with a Construction_Job__c custom property set to true, distinguishing it from standard sales deals. Job-level financial fields (estimated_revenue, actual_revenue, budget_amount) become custom number properties on the deal. Job status maps to HubSpot deal stage via the pipeline stage value mapping.
JobTread
Estimate / Proposal
HubSpot
Deal (custom properties)
1:1JobTread estimates and proposals are not native HubSpot objects. The estimate number, version, date, status, and total amount migrate as custom properties on the HubSpot deal (Estimate_Number__c, Estimate_Status__c, Estimate_Total__c). Estimate line items are stored as a text block in Estimate_Line_Items__c for reference.
JobTread
Change Order
HubSpot
Deal (custom properties)
1:1JobTread change orders become custom properties on the HubSpot deal: Change_Order_Number__c, Change_Order_Date__c, Change_Order_Status__c, Change_Order_Total__c, Change_Order_Approved__c (boolean). Multiple change orders on a single job are appended as text blocks in Change_Order_Details__c. Each change order retains its original approval status and timestamp, enabling audit trails within the HubSpot deal record.
JobTread
Purchase Order
HubSpot
Deal (custom properties)
1:1JobTread purchase orders have no HubSpot native equivalent. PO number, date, status, supplier name, and total amount become custom properties on the deal (PO_Number__c, PO_Date__c, PO_Status__c, PO_Supplier__c, PO_Total__c). Line items stored as PO_Line_Items__c text block. This ensures purchase order history is fully visible on the associated HubSpot deal for finance review.
JobTread
Work Order
HubSpot
Deal (custom properties)
1:1JobTread work orders map to custom properties on the HubSpot deal: Work_Order_Number__c, Work_Order_Scheduled_Start__c, Work_Order_Scheduled_End__c, Work_Order_User__c, Work_Order_Status__c, Work_Order_Total__c. WO line items stored as Work_Order_Line_Items__c text block. Scheduling details, assigned user, and cost totals are retained, allowing project managers to monitor progress directly from the HubSpot deal timeline.
JobTread
Bill / Invoice
HubSpot
Deal (custom properties)
1:1JobTread bills and invoices have no HubSpot native equivalent. Invoice number, date, status, and total amount become custom properties on the deal (Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Date__c, Invoice_Status__c, Invoice_Total__c). Invoice line items stored as Invoice_Line_Items__c text block. This preserves billing history and enables financial reporting within the deal record.
JobTread
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1JobTread file attachments on clients, vendors, jobs, and financial documents are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. Original filename, URL, file size, and upload date are preserved as HubSpot file properties. Attachments are re-associated to the target HubSpot record (contact, company, or deal) after upload.
JobTread
Schedule Item
HubSpot
Task + Deal (custom properties)
1:1JobTread schedule items map to HubSpot tasks with the original scheduled start/end dates, assigned user, status, and description. The job association is preserved via the task-to-deal link. Schedule metadata (JobTread item ID, full schedule text) is stored in custom properties on the task.
JobTread
Cost Catalog
HubSpot
Deal (custom properties) + Custom Object (optional)
1:1JobTread cost catalogs hold reusable cost items, cost groups, unit costs, and markups. Catalog name, total items, number of cost groups, and last-updated date become custom text and number properties on the deal. For HubSpot Enterprise customers, cost items can be stored in a custom Cost_Item__c object linked to the deal.

Migration approach
Audit JobTread data exports and configure HubSpot custom properties
We review your JobTread data export scope across all object types — clients, vendors, jobs, estimates, proposals, change orders, POs, work orders, bills, invoices, attachments, cost catalogs, and schedule items. We then configure HubSpot custom properties for every JobTread field that has no native HubSpot equivalent (budget_amount__c, job_type__c, po_number__c, invoice_number__c, etc.) and set up the deal pipeline stages mapped to your JobTread job status workflow. We deliver a schema setup plan before data moves.
Resolve client and vendor contacts and assign HubSpot owners
We match JobTread client and vendor contacts to HubSpot contacts by email. Vendor organizations become HubSpot companies with a Vendor__c flag. We resolve JobTread assigned users to HubSpot owners by email match so that jobs, tasks, and schedule items land with the correct owner in HubSpot. Unmatched contacts and unresolved owners are flagged before migration so your team can either invite them to HubSpot first or assign a fallback owner.
Sequence the migration: companies, contacts, deals, tasks, files, financial documents
HubSpot requires Accounts before Contacts (via company association) and Contacts before Deals (for deal contact roles). We sequence the migration in dependency order: HubSpot companies first, then contacts linked to those companies, then JobTread jobs as HubSpot deals with all custom properties and financial document data, then tasks and schedule items linked to deals, then file attachments re-uploaded to HubSpot Files and re-associated to the target records, and finally cost catalog metadata as deal-level custom properties.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full execution
A representative slice of records (typically 50–100 records spanning multiple jobs, financial document types, and attachments) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field values, covering all custom property mappings, deal associations, financial data accuracy, and pipeline stage routing. You review the diff report and approve or request adjustments before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and post-migration audit
The full migration runs against your HubSpot portal. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window after the bulk load captures any JobTread records modified during the migration window (new change orders, updated invoices, status changes). We perform a data audit comparing record counts, field completeness, and financial totals between JobTread and HubSpot. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies critical gaps. Your team receives a final migration report with record counts, any flagged records, and next steps for HubSpot workflow rebuild.
