Job Costing
Know which jobs make money and which ones don't. Before it's too late to do anything about it.
Busy Doesn't Mean Profitable
You finished the year with $1.2 million in revenue. Crews were busy the whole time. Trucks rolling, jobs closing, invoices going out. So why is there nothing left in the account?
Most contractors know their total numbers. Revenue, expenses, what’s in the bank. What they don’t know is which jobs made money and which ones bled it. That kitchen remodel felt profitable. The commercial buildout seemed like a win. But without job-level tracking, you’re just guessing.
Every Dollar to a Job
Labor hours. Material purchases. Subcontractor invoices. Equipment rental. Permit fees. Every cost tied to the job that caused it. Not dumped into a general expense category. Not sorted out later when you have time. Allocated correctly as it happens.
Labor
Labor
Hours tracked by job, not just by employee. You see what each project actually cost in labor, including the drive time and callbacks.
Materials
Materials
Purchases coded to specific jobs at the register or when the invoice comes in. No more guessing which job that lumber was for.
Subs
Subs
Subcontractor costs assigned to the jobs they worked on. Your biggest expense category, finally visible at the project level.
Overhead
Overhead
The truck, the insurance, the office. We help you allocate overhead so your job margins reflect reality, not just direct costs.
Bid Better. Stop Losing Money.
Here’s what happens when you have real job cost data.
You discover that residential remodels under $50K lose money once you factor in the back-and-forth with homeowners. You stop bidding on them. You find out your best margins come from a type of job you thought was just okay. You do more of those.
You catch a job going sideways at 60% complete instead of at final invoice. You have the conversation with the client before you’re underwater, not after.
Historical Data
Historical Data
Past job performance becomes your bidding edge. You know what things actually cost, not what you hope they’ll cost.
