What the number is made from

One job. Four pieces of financial truth.

Revenue in one place

See the original contract, approved variations, revised contract value and invoiced amount together.

Costs by category

Separate labour, materials, subcontractors and other costs so the source of margin movement is visible.

Forecast, not guesswork

Compare costs to date, committed spend and estimated cost left before the job is finished.

A margin you can explain

Read forecast profit and margin from the same job records used by your crew and office.

Built around the job

The site record and the money view belong together.

Job costing works when the estimate, approved changes, time, purchases and invoices share the same job. Build MAIT keeps that operating trail connected.

01

Set the job value

Start from the accepted scope, price and approved changes.

02

Capture real costs

Bring labour, supplier receipts and subcontractor costs back to the job.

03

Review the forecast

See what is spent, committed and likely to remain before handover.

04

Protect the margin

Act on overruns while there is still time to price changes or adjust delivery.

A practical management view

See the overrun while it is still fixable.

The sample shows contract revenue, costs to date, committed spend and a forecast final margin using clearly labelled synthetic figures.

Questions builders ask

Is this accounting software?+

No. Build MAIT gives the builder an operational job-cost view. Your accounting platform remains the source for formal accounts and tax returns.

Can I separate labour and materials?+

Yes. The job view groups labour, materials, subcontractors and other costs so you can see which category moved.

Do approved variations affect the job value?+

Yes. Approved variation value is shown separately and included in the revised contract total.

Is the sample real customer data?+

No. The downloadable example uses synthetic names, addresses and financial figures purely to demonstrate the product format.

Keep the job commercial

Quote it. Track it. Protect the margin.
