A Job's True Margin, Calculated on Demand
No more margin reviews that never happen because pulling the numbers takes an hour.
No more costs missed because someone eyeballed the financial lines.
No more quoting on gut feel.
Who it's for
Office managers and finance leads who want a real profitability number without building a spreadsheet for every job.
What it saves you
The hour or more it takes to manually pull financial lines together, and the pricing drift that comes from quoting on a rough sense of the last job's margin.
Set up time
Most businesses are live within days.
The problem
Knowing what a job actually made means pulling together every financial line recorded against it, hours, materials, subcontractor costs, and working out the true cost, sell and margin. Done by hand, that's a spreadsheet exercise, and it takes long enough that it often just doesn't happen.
So margin reviews get skipped. Jobs close down without anyone checking the numbers properly. Costs get missed because someone's eye skipped over a financial line, and the next quote gets priced off a rough sense of what the last job made rather than what it actually made.
Across a business running dozens of jobs a week, that habit compounds, and pricing drifts further from reality with every quote that goes out on gut feel rather than fact.
What the automation does
Ask for a profitability review, and Build Concierge builds it from the job's own financial data.
- Pulls every financial line. Every hour, material and subcontractor cost recorded against the job is retrieved.
- Counts everything. No line is summarised or skipped, so nothing is missed.
- Separates cost from sell. Each line is categorised as a cost or a sell value, so the two totals stay accurate.
- Calculates the numbers. Total cost, total sell and margin are calculated from the real data.
- Delivers it on demand. The margin is available whenever it's asked for, without anyone building a spreadsheet.
The real number, not the estimate
The point is that every single financial line is counted, so the margin you see is the one that actually happened, not an approximation.
What you get
- The true margin on any job, available on demand
- Every financial line counted, nothing summarised or skipped
- No spreadsheet building required to get the number
- Close-downs that happen with the real numbers in front of you
- The next quote priced off what the last job actually made
The margin on any job is available in minutes, not after an hour spent pulling a spreadsheet together.
Ways to run it
On-demand profitability review
Ask for the margin on any job and get the real number back, calculated from every financial line recorded.
Nothing summarised
Every hour, material and subcontractor cost is counted individually, not estimated or rounded.
Ready for close-down
Run it as part of your job close-down process, so the numbers are in front of you before the job is signed off.
Feeds the next quote
Use the real margin from a completed job to price the next one accurately, rather than on gut feel.

Common Questions
No. Every financial line is counted individually, nothing is summarised or skipped.
Yes, it can be run at any point, not just at close-down.
The financial lines already recorded against the job in your job management system, hours, materials and subcontractor costs.
Whoever you set up to have access, typically office managers or finance leads.
Think about how often a proper margin review gets skipped because pulling the numbers takes too long, and how much pricing drifts when quotes are based on a rough sense of last time. This makes the real number available whenever you need it, so the next quote is grounded in fact.
