From the bid to the final account

You know how a job is doing while it is still open

Margin isn’t a number you discover once the work is finished. Hours, materials and invoices come in every day and update the job’s costs: if something is eating into the profit, you find out while you can still do something about it.

• Actual costs compared against the estimate, day by day
• Progress and claims in step with what is really happening on site
• Variances broken down by category: labour, materials and plant hire
