Know Your Profit Before the Pool Is Finished.

Protect the Margin

See the Job’s Financial Story While You Can Still Change It.

On a pool build, margin rarely disappears all at once. It leaks through a late supplier bill, an unpriced upgrade or a contingency nobody re-checked. BidBuild keeps each of those moments in the same job record, so the numbers move while the work is still happening.

• Budget from the bidEvery line item carries its own cost, contingency and markup, so the job budget starts from the numbers the proposal was priced with.
• Purchase order, then billOrder equipment, steel or tile against the job’s budget lines. When the supplier bills, the bill is entered against that order and carried through to QuickBooks.
• Change orders in the same recordWhen the homeowner adds a spa spillover or upgrades the finish, the change order lives in the same job record, and budget and contingency move with it.
• Budget vs. actual while the job is openCompare planned against committed and billed costs while the job is still open—not just at closeout. Organize the build with configurable phases; excavation, shell and finish are common examples.
