Find Out Which Jobs Actually Pay

Job costing reviews that show profitability and pricing gaps for contractors in Saint George, Utah.

You finish a job in Saint George, send the invoice, and assume you made money because the check cleared. Then you look at your bank account a few months later and wonder where it all went. Job costing reviews from Bradshaw Services break down labor, materials, and overhead for each project so you can see which jobs were actually profitable and which ones cost you more than they brought in.

This process aligns your actual expenses with the revenue from each job, highlighting where your estimates were off and where hidden costs ate into your margin. You will see patterns in pricing, inefficiencies in how jobs are run, and gaps between what you thought a project would cost and what it actually did. This information supports better bidding and helps you avoid repeating the same mistakes on future work.

If you want to stop guessing and start knowing which jobs are worth taking, learn more about job costing reviews in Saint George.

Detailed breakdowns that show real project performance

A job costing review in Saint George starts with pulling together all the expenses tied to a specific project: labor hours, material invoices, subcontractor payments, equipment rental, and a fair share of overhead. Each cost is matched to the job and compared against what you billed or estimated. The result is a clear picture of whether the job made money or lost it.

Once the numbers are organized, you will notice which types of work are consistently profitable and which ones drain your resources. You might find that labor ran over because of delays, materials cost more than expected, or overhead allocation made a decent job look like a loss. These insights help you adjust pricing, tighten estimates, and negotiate better with suppliers or clients.

This service is especially valuable for contractors managing multiple active jobs at once. It does not replace your estimating software, but it does show you whether your estimates are matching reality. Reviews are typically done quarterly or after major projects wrap up.

Contractors often want to know how job costing works and what they will learn from the process.

Common questions about reviewing job costs

You receive a breakdown of labor, materials, overhead, and subcontractor costs for each job, compared against revenue. This shows gross profit, highlights cost overruns, and identifies where your pricing or processes need adjustment.
What does a job costing review show?
Overhead is distributed based on a fair method such as labor hours, project duration, or percentage of revenue. The goal is to reflect the true cost of running each job, not just direct expenses.
How is overhead allocated to each job?
Bradshaw Services can help set up systems to capture labor and material costs by project. Without job-level tracking, it is nearly impossible to know which work is profitable.
What if I do not track time by job?
Reviews are most useful after a project closes or at the end of each quarter. Waiting until year-end means you miss the chance to adjust pricing or processes while the work is still fresh.
When should I review job costs?
Profit on paper does not always match cash in the bank. Delays in billing, slow client payments, or high upfront material costs can drain cash even when a job is technically profitable. Job costing helps separate profitability from cash flow timing.
Why do some profitable jobs still leave me short on cash?
