Job Costing & Project Profitability

Profit by job, so an unprofitable project cannot hide behind a healthy annual total.

What this covers

A contractor with good overall margins and two bad jobs looks fine annually and is losing money. Job-level reporting is the difference between knowing and finding out later.

  • Costs tracked to individual jobs or projects
  • Labour, materials, subcontractors and equipment allocated
  • Estimated versus actual cost reporting
  • Change orders tracked against original contract value
  • Work-in-progress and percentage-of-completion schedules
  • Retainage tracked separately both directions

How it works

  1. A free consultation. Twenty minutes on how the business runs, what software you are in, and what shape the records are in today.
  2. A written scope and a price. Based on your actual transaction volume and account count — not a tier.
  3. Access and setup. Read access to the accounts and software involved, and a chart of accounts that matches how you operate.
  4. A fixed rhythm. You know what lands, and when.

Common questions about job costing & project profitability

What do you need to make this work?

Payroll and purchasing coded to jobs. That usually means a chart of accounts change and a small process change on site.

Does this work for agencies as well as construction?

Yes — anything sold as a project rather than a product benefits from the same structure.
