Who This Is For

For GCs and remodelers who finish jobs not knowing if they made or lost money. Most small contractors run estimates in their head and reconcile at tax time — but by then it is too late to fix anything. This spreadsheet lets you see in real time whether a job is running over budget, where the variance is, and whether you need to issue a change order.
