Construction job costing and change orders

See what the job will make before the job is done.

Duxor connects the estimate, approved contract, field requests, committed and actual costs, change orders, invoices, collections, and projected margin to one project record.

One commercial spine

The money should follow the work.

Price the job, approve a change, record a cost, send an invoice, and watch the margin without separating the financial story from what happened in the field.

Contract, budget, open commitments, actual costs, billing, collections, and projected gross profit stay visible together by project.

Estimate to baseline

Start with the price you sold, not a disconnected spreadsheet.

Build labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, allowance, markup, and margin into the estimate. When the customer accepts, that structured price becomes the starting point for the project budget and cost view.

  • Labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor lines
  • Markup, overhead, margin, allowances, and options
  • Proposal revisions, approval, e-signature, and deposit
  • Budget and cost-code baseline after acceptance

The estimate remains connected to purchasing, labor, changes, and actual cost so the commercial plan can be compared with the work as it unfolds.

A five-line draft keeps internal cost, customer price, per-line margin, and blended estimated margin visible before it is sent.

Change control

Do not let a casual request become unpaid work.

A homeowner asks for six recessed lights. A field condition requires different material. A schedule change adds labor. Duxor keeps the source request connected while the team prepares the price, schedule impact, approval, and billing.

Draft, proposed, approved, and declined changes keep their price and schedule impact visible before work proceeds.

Capture the request

Turn a customer message, field note, photo, or voice update into a pending change request without losing who asked or what was said.

Review the consequences

Identify affected trades, materials, dependencies, approvals, likely cost, and schedule impact before work is authorized.

Price and approve

Add markup and terms, present the change for review and e-signature, and keep unapproved work visibly pending.

Update the project

After approval, update contract value, budget, schedule, billing, notifications, and project history together.

Cost, billing, and margin

See the contract, cost, cash, and projected result together.

Track budget, cost codes, commitments, bills, labor, expenses, invoices, payments, projected cost, gross profit, and margin at the project level.

Operational financials

Keep accounting boundaries clear.

Duxor manages the financial workflows that begin with the project and the field. It is not a replacement for a full general ledger.

Duxor connects operational records with QuickBooks and accounting while keeping ownership, source records, and reconciliation clear. Project teams get the cost and margin detail they need without pretending that project management and accounting are the same job.

Operational source

Estimates, approvals, commitments, field costs, change orders, invoices, and project profitability.

Accounting connection

QuickBooks integration and accounting exports with clear ownership of records and reconciliation.

Connected solutions

Profitability improves when the field and office share the same facts.

Connect the conversation that started the change, the schedule it affects, and the customer approval that makes the work billable.

Communication

Preserve the source request and turn it into a reviewable commercial action.

Scheduling

Keep approved schedule impact connected to people, subcontractors, and dependencies.
