Construction job costing software helps business owners, project managers, office managers, and accountants all stay on the same page regarding an individual project’s actual costs vs budgeted costs. Knowify’s job costing software helps small businesses capture material, equipment, subcontractor, and labor costs at the project and phase level, without having to dig through receipts, timecards, or spreadsheets. It also allows you to easily compare those actual costs to your project budget, so you can see which project phases and specific items cut into your profit the most. When paired with QuickBooks Online, Knowify delivers an unrivaled suite of construction accounting software tools for trade contractors.
Job management software, including construction job costing software, makes it simple to track project expenses like materials, labor, and equipment against the project budget. This allows businesses to more easily report on financials, better estimate future project costs, and gain insight into which operational changes will help make their projects more profitable over time.
For QuickBooks Online users, Knowify’s project management software has a real-time 2-way sync. As expenses, bill payments, and invoice collections are recorded in Knowify or QuickBooks Online, they can be seen immediately in the other platform – mapped to the correct project, vendor, and cost category with no additional input needed. This means that every member of your team – whether they primarily work in QuickBooks Online or Knowify sees the same data at the same time, so nothing gets missed.
QuickBooks Online is a great small business accounting software, but is not optimized for construction accounting on it’s own. QuickBooks Online misses crucial construction features like WIP reporting, the ability to send construction specific invoice formats, and doesn’t allow you to break out project costs by phase and cost category with the same consistency and granularity that Knowify does, which is essential for an efficient job costing process. Combine Knowify+QuickBooks Online to fully streamline your job costing and accounting processes.
Aside from QuickBooks Online, Knowify also integrates with QuickBooks Desktop, available on our “Unlimited” plan. Combining Knowify and QuickBooks Desktop gives trade contractors a comprehensive job costing system for tracking their jobs.
No way! For small businesses, job costing is sometimes even more important than for larger businesses. Construction job costing software like Knowify makes it easy to capture project cost data, so you can keep your projects profitable, and maintain the healthy cashflow needed to take on new projects, make new hires, and purchase new equipment.
Construction job costing software like Knowify can help you answer critical questions about a project while it’s still in progress. You’ll be able to look in real-time at any project, and see which phases are running over budget, and what the costs were that pushed it over the edge. When you collect that data over multiple projects, you’ll be able to see trends in your business, such as which crews are most efficient, which clients frequently have budget overruns, and where your cost centers are. Knowify allows you to collect expense data broken out by project, project phase, and cost category (materials, equipment, labor, subcontractors, miscellaneous). Altogether, Knowify’s job costing software will help help you prevent cost overruns on future projects.
Yes, you can tie cost codes to project phases in Knowify, so that you can easily see the budgeted cost vs actual cost of that phase for an individual job, or look at how that phase performs across all jobs, from a financial perspective.

Yes, Knowify offers the strongest WIP reporting capabilities in the construction space.

You can access WIP reporting whether you’re in the office or on the job site, helping you make informed decisions as they’re needed.

Knowify captures the fully-loaded labor burden for your employees on the job and helps you calculate labor cost automatically. We take into consideration things like benefits, union dues, overtime, etc – and not just the hourly or salaried rate you pay them. This helps you understand the true cost to your business of having that employee working on a specific job, or specific phase.
Knowify captures time worked in one of two ways = either your team can clock-in and clock-out using the Knowify mobile app, or time can be manually entered using the ‘foreman view’.
