Construction job costing
See the cost shape of a job before it surprises you.
Move beyond a single cost-code field. Nexus tracks budget, commitments, approved invoice actuals, and projected cost across the dimensions contractors use to run work.
Illustrative product workspace
Operational proof
Four dimensions, one source-linked ledger.
Job-specific phases
Shared cost types
Line-level invoice and PO coding
Budget, committed, actual, and projected totals
Structure the job
Define project phases while retaining a reusable company cost-code and cost-type library.
Code commitments
Assign purchase-order and change-order costs to the same phase, cost-code, and cost-type dimensions.
Post actuals
Approved invoice lines create idempotent actual-cost entries linked back to the source document.
Read the forecast
Compare budget, committed, actual, and projected cost without stitching together spreadsheets.
The operating model
Every total can lead back to the transaction that changed it.
Re-approval and rejection reverse and repost source entries safely, preserving the audit path while keeping the job-cost view current.
Qualified walkthrough
Bring one real workflow.
Tell us how you use QuickBooks, how many projects and invoices you manage, and where waivers or retainage break down. We’ll shape the session around that operating reality.
