The Job Cost module keeps track of and reports on every cost incurred in the job. Job Cost is broken down by cost code, change order, and cost type, including labor, material, subcontract, other direct cost, and equipment.

In a recent review by The CPA Technology Advisor^®, Builder Information System^® was described as a "powerful, attractive package that addresses the job cost needs for any company size, from the smallest start-up to the enterprise-level concern with hundreds of employees."

Job Cost Budget Sample Screen

The Job Cost Budget keeps track of cost incurred against a job by cost category such as Labor, Material, Subcontract, Other, and Equipment. Job Budgets can be established by simply entering the budget line items, copying budget from another job, or importing from the estimate.
