Everything a job needs, tracked

The features below are the ones that turn a stack of receipts and timesheets into a live profit-per-job number.

Real-time budget vs. actual

Every cost lands against the budget the moment it is entered. The dashboard shows each cost code as green, amber, or red, so an overrun appears while you can still act on it, not at month-end reconciliation.

Loaded labor costing

Set a burden rate per crew member and hours logged in the field automatically post at their true loaded cost, including payroll taxes, workers comp, and benefits. No more bidding with unburdened wages.

Cost codes that match how you build

Start from a library of construction cost codes, or build your own. Every timesheet, receipt, PO, and invoice carries a job and a cost code, so you can compare budget to actual consistently across jobs and over time.

Change orders that bill themselves

Turn scope changes into approved change orders that add to the contract value and the budget. Extras get billed instead of eaten, which is the most common profit leak in the trades.

Committed costs

POs and subcontracts count the moment they are signed, not when the invoice arrives. The job's true position never hides behind unbilled commitments.

Budget alerts & forecasting

Set thresholds per cost code and the software flags a job heading over budget, or projects the final cost from the burn rate so you can re-forecast before the damage is done.

Profit-per-job reporting

One report answers the only question that matters: what did each job actually make? Sort by margin, compare crews, and see which kinds of work you should be chasing.

QuickBooks & Xero two-way sync

Invoices, bills, and payroll flow into the books and back, with the job and cost code intact. Your accountant sees the same numbers the field enters, with no double entry.

Field apps for iOS and Android

Crews log time, photograph receipts, and check their job's budget from a phone, with offline support that syncs when they are back in range.

Role-based permissions

Project managers see their jobs, the office sees the books, owners see everything. Granular permissions keep the field and the accounting from stepping on each other.

Feature FAQ

Can I set different burden rates for different employees?
Yes. Each employee or crew can carry its own burden rate, so a journeyman with rich benefits and a helper with none are both costed correctly.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The mobile apps log time and receipts offline and sync automatically when a connection returns.
Can my accountant get access?
Yes. Accountants can be invited as a read-only or full role, and the QuickBooks or Xero sync keeps your general ledger and job costs aligned.
Can I import existing jobs from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Budgets and job structures import from CSV, so you can bring over existing projects without re-entering them by hand.
