Budgets & job costing

Know your margin before the job’s over — not after

Every cost — labor hours, materials, POs, equipment, and change orders — rolls up against the budget you set at award. Watch committed and actual costs against each phase so you catch overruns while you can still do something about them.

  • Budget by phase, cost code, or line item — however you estimate
  • Labor hours flow in from time tracking and hit the right job automatically
  • Committed costs from open POs show alongside actuals so nothing surprises you
  • Change orders update the contract value and revised budget in one step

Tasks, phases & scheduling

Plan the sequence, then keep it on track

Break a job into phases and tasks, set dependencies, and see the whole timeline on a Gantt view. Assign work to crews, set durations, and watch the critical path shift as the field reports progress — so a slip in framing doesn’t quietly blow your finish date.

  • Drag-and-drop phases and tasks with start dates, durations, and dependencies
  • Assign tasks to crews and see conflicts before they become delays
  • Milestones and inspections flagged so approvals never hold up the pour
  • Field progress updates the schedule so the office always sees the real status
From the field

Daily logs and jobsite photos, captured in seconds

Your crew documents the job from their phone. You get a time-stamped, searchable record — no end-of-day paperwork, no lost photos in someone’s camera roll.

Daily logs

Capture weather, headcount, hours, deliveries, and issues in a two-minute end-of-day entry from any phone.

Auto-tagged photos

Every photo is stamped with the job, date, and phase, then grouped into a visual timeline you can share with clients.

Punch & closeout

Walk the site, log punch items with photos, assign them, and collect sign-off — all before final invoice.

Keep the paperwork airtight

The documents that protect your margin and your reputation — tracked, approved, and filed against the right job.

Change orders with client approval

Document the change, attach the cost, and send it for e-signed online approval. The client sees exactly what changed and why — and your contract value updates the moment they approve.

RFIs & submittals

Track requests for information and submittal reviews with owners, due dates, and threaded responses, so there’s a clear record of every decision on the job.

Materials & purchase orders

Tie materials to the project, turn shortfalls into POs grouped by vendor, and keep committed spend visible against the budget the whole way through.

Handoff checklists

Standardize closeout — final walkthrough, warranties, as-builts, and client sign-off — with a repeatable checklist so every job finishes the same clean way.

Questions about project management

Can my crew update jobs from the field?

Yes. The whole platform is mobile-first. Crews clock in, log the day, snap photos, and check off tasks from their phone — and it all syncs to the office in real time.

How does job costing stay accurate?

Costs flow in automatically from the systems your team already uses — time tracking for labor, purchase orders for materials, and change orders for scope changes. You set the budget once and everything rolls up against it without manual entry.

Do clients see the whole project?

They see what you choose to share. Through their branded client portal, customers can approve change orders, view progress and photos, and pay invoices — without seeing your internal costs or margins.

Does this work for any trade?

TradesOps is built for all trades. Phases, cost codes, punch lists, and checklists are yours to configure, so the same tools fit concrete, framing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping, and everything in between.

What happens when a bid is won?

Convert the quote to a project in one click. The scope, line items, contacts, and budget carry straight over, so you start the job with everything already in place instead of re-entering it.
