The Job Costing module provides contractors with tools to build detailed job budgets, track actual costs, monitor work progress, and compare project performance against estimates. It supports real‑time updates of labor, material, equipment, subcontractor costs, and cash flow data. Users can review WIP, over/under billing, variance reports, and historical job records. The system generates production reports, estimated‑vs‑actual comparisons, and alerts to prevent cost overruns. It also integrates change order management so budget adjustments can be applied without altering the original contract values.
