Actuals, commitments, and estimate side by side — the daily discipline that catches a losing job before it finishes losing.

BidSync AI
A job cost system earns its keep when estimated, committed, and actual costs share the same cost-code structure. When the field charges a task to the same code the estimator built, variance analysis becomes arithmetic instead of archaeology.
In BidSync AI, job cost reads time cards by cost code against the project’s budget items. When crew hours on an item trend past the plan, it shows up as soon as the time cards are entered, not at month-end close.
Signed subcontracts and purchase orders are money you owe. Tracking committed cost next to actual cost shows total exposure before invoices arrive.
Double-entry postings that must balance mean the numbers reconcile. When invoices and payments post through one ledger, the balance sheet and the job cost report come from the same source.
The best cost data is the jobs you just finished. Comparing closed jobs against their estimates is how the next bid gets benchmarked against what you actually build.
