How to nail your job costing

Are you confident in your job cost numbers? Many contractors aren’t. In construction that’s like driving 100 mph with no visibility. That's where job costing software can help.

At one time you may have been able to track your job costs using a spreadsheet. That was back when you weren’t juggling as many projects at one time. But now, business is booming. Suddenly you or your team has to break out costs for a heck of a lot more jobs, making it virtually impossible to keep up. Most of the time, you may not really know if you’ve made or lost money until after project closeout.

 

There is a better way!

Sage job costing solutions give you an accurate, day-by-day picture of your job costs. So you always know where you stand against your project budget. 

Track committed costs

Have you ever closed out a job then received a bill you'd completely forgotten about? Suddenly the profit you thought you'd made erodes before your eyes. Our solutions help you issue and track purchase orders and subcontracts to give you the clearest picture of every cost connected to a job. 

Monitor change orders

Understanding how your budget has changed and why it’s changed is critical to pinpointing your true job costs. Documenting and monitoring the status of change orders will give you that vantage point and make sure you get paid for all the work you do.

Collect daily time sheets

Labor is your biggest risk to losing money on your jobs. Capturing and reporting work time on a daily, rather than a weekly, basis will improve time sheet accuracy and give you a more current view of labor costs. We can help with integration to mobile time card reporting applications.

Set up alerts

Our solutions let you take proactive measures to monitor your costs. Simply set up an automatic alert that notifies you when jobs haven’t been billed, profit falls below a specified percent, or another event occurs that could impact your job costs.

Supply actual costs

Tracking actual costs against your budget and using that information to refine future bids will improve your company’s ability to win more profitable work.

Our project managers and superintendents need access to costs and change order data quickly and in real time in order to run their projects effectively. With Sage 100 Contractor we can all access the data we need."
