Job Costing

Every dollar, tied to the job.

Change orders signed and traceable. Invoices that go out complete. Sub payments accounted for. Job costing that lives with the work — every dollar in, every dollar out, tied to the job it belongs to.

A margin figure from a single job

I once overpaid a trade partner because a job was spread across too many spreadsheet tabs. I caught it at closeout, which is later than anyone should find that out.

The pattern

End the "I thought that was included" conversation.

Four places where money slips when the numbers live in separate tools.

The change order the client swears was included.

The scope you added after signing. She agreed at the time. Now she's questioning the bill. Every change order is signed at the time it was agreed and dated — the conversation ends where the signature is.

The invoice that went out short.

Billed for the room but not the closet. For the tile but not the labor. Whatever you built, whatever you owe on it — it goes on the bill, because the estimate carries the invoice with it.

The sub's PO nobody tied back to the job.

Your tile guy sent an invoice for a bathroom nobody could remember which job it belonged to. Every PO ties back to a specific job — scope, amount, work status, payment — so subs get paid on time and the numbers match the project they're for.

The margin you didn't know you were losing.

Materials go over. Labor takes longer. By the time the job closes, the margin is what it is. Job costing lives with the project — you see where a job stands while you can still do something about it.

Why one system

Change orders, invoices, and purchase orders are the same numbers seen from three angles. When they live in three different tools — or in QuickBooks and a spreadsheet and your email inbox — the arithmetic drifts by the end of month two. Job costing works because those three views live in one place. What the client owes, what you owe your subs, and what the estimate said all reconcile automatically.
