Frequently Asked Questions
Job costing tracks all costs—materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, overhead—to a specific project. It tells you whether you made or lost money on each job and helps you bid future work more accurately.
We integrate with time tracking apps so crew hours are automatically assigned to projects. Labor burden (payroll taxes, workers comp) is allocated accurately based on hours worked.
Work-in-Progress (WIP) reporting shows the financial status of ongoing projects—costs incurred to date, billings to date, and estimated remaining costs. It's essential for accurate construction financials.
We track change orders separately, ensuring additional costs and revenue are properly attributed to the original project. See the impact of changes on job profitability.
We help you allocate equipment costs—ownership, maintenance, fuel—to projects based on usage. This gives you more accurate job cost data than simple expensing.
We track retention receivables and payables separately, ensuring you don't forget amounts owed to you or that you owe to subcontractors.
