What Is Job Costing |

Job costing tracks income and expenses per project.

What to Track |

Labor
Materials
Subcontractors
Overhead allocation

Why Contractors Get This Wrong |

Everything is lumped together
No real-time tracking
Costs are estimated, not measured

Without job costing |

You underbid future work
Profits disappear
Growth stalls

The Fix |

Start tracking each job individually and in real time - don't wait until the end of a project to find out if it was profitable.

Know your numbers. Own your future.
