Construction Job Costing Agent

Replaces a $52k Project Accountant by automating material, labor, and subcontractor cost tracking against estimates.

The Problem

General contractors manually compile invoices, timesheets, and sub receipts into spreadsheets to compare actual costs against job estimates—a process that takes 8-12 hours per week and creates reconciliation errors. Project managers and owners lack real-time visibility into job profitability, often discovering cost overruns too late to adjust. Most contractors use disconnected tools (QuickBooks, spreadsheets, email) with no single source of truth for job costs.

The Outcome

The agent ingests material invoices, labor timesheets, and subcontractor bills from email and accounting software, categorizes costs by job and cost type, compares actuals to original estimates, and generates weekly variance reports showing which jobs are over/under budget. It flags cost overruns automatically and syncs final job costs back to QuickBooks for accurate project profitability reporting.
