Let's Talk About Real-Time Job Costing (And Why It's a Game-Changer for Your Restoration Business)

Let's talk about something that's probably keeping you up at night - knowing exactly how much money you're making (or losing) on your jobs while they're happening.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is this job profitable?" or "Where did all my margin go?" - this one's for you.

Why Should Restoration Businesses Care About Real-Time Job Costing?

Picture this: You're running three water jobs, two fire jobs, and that one tricky mold remediation project across town.

Each job has different techs, various equipment running, and materials being used left and right. Wouldn't it be amazing to know exactly where every dollar is going right now, not weeks from now when it's too late to do anything about it?

That's exactly what real-time job costing does - it's like having a financial crystal ball for your restoration business.

How Are You Tracking Costs Right Now?

If you're like most restoration companies we talk to, you're probably dealing with something like this:

• Using one system for time tracking, another for job management, and maybe a third for accounting

• Manually transferring data between platforms to get a complete picture

• Waiting for different systems to sync up (if they sync at all)

• Spending hours reconciling information across platforms just to figure out your true costs

• Having to check multiple dashboards or reports just to understand what's happening on a single job

Sound familiar? Don't worry - we've all been there!

Here's the Problem with Delayed Job Costing

By the time you figure out a job is going over budget, it’s way too late to do anything about it. Your team is probably dealing with:

• Missing cost overruns until the damage was done

• Losing track of labor hours (we all know how quickly those add up!)

• Not getting the most out of their equipment

• Watching their profit margins shrink because they couldn't make adjustments fast enough

There's a Better Way (And It's Simpler Than You Think!)

This is where modern restoration management software comes in - and yes, I'm talking about JobSight!
