Know which jobs make you money.
Most contractors find out a job lost money after it's done. We catch it while you can still do something about it.
The problem
You're busy and the work keeps coming. But can you say which jobs actually made money? Most can't. By the time the numbers show up, the job's done and the loss is already yours.
What we do
We build and maintain a WIP schedule that shows the real profit on every active job, in real time. You see overruns early, bill accurately, and stop guessing.
- WIP schedule preparation
- Cost-to-complete analysis
- Overbilling and underbilling review
- Estimate vs. actual variance
One bad job can wipe out the profit from three good ones. Not knowing is what costs you the most.
Common questions
What is a WIP schedule and why does my construction company need one?
A work-in-progress (WIP) schedule reconciles each active job's costs, billings, and estimated cost-to-complete to show real-time profit and over or under billing. It is the single most important report most contractors lack: it catches a job going underwater while you can still act, and sureties require it for bonding.
How is job costing different from regular bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping records what happened across the whole company. Job costing assigns every cost and dollar of revenue to a specific job, so you can see which jobs make money and which lose it before they close, not months after.
What are overbillings and underbillings?
Overbilling means you have billed more than the work completed, a cash cushion that can mask a profit problem. Underbilling means you have done work you have not billed yet, often a hidden drain on cash. Both are flagged on the WIP schedule.
