Job costing is where profit is made or lost. In this video, I break down how to take your estimate and turn it into a real job cost budget you can track. I’ll walk you through a civil contractor example in Excel, showing how to align labor, materials, equipment, and subs so nothing slips through the cracks.
Whether you’re a GC or subcontractor, you’ll see why QuickBooks alone won’t cut it and how a proper job cost system protects your margin, keeps lenders confident, and stops profit from disappearing.
If you’ve ever looked at a job that showed 40% gross profit on paper but only delivered 2% net in reality, this is why.
