How to know which jobs are actually making you money
The Busy Trap
Summer means full crews, packed schedules, and jobs stacking up back to back. But busy doesn’t always mean profitable. Plenty of contractors finish a strong season and still can’t say which jobs paid off and which ones quietly ate their margin.
What Job Costing Actually Tells You
Job costing breaks down labor, materials, and overhead for each project, so you can see real profit per job, not just money in and out of the bank account. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
