Where the money actually goes — all 8 pages
Quoted profit does not vanish. It leaks in eight places.
Each page below covers one leak: what it looks like on a live job, what it costs, and the control that closes it.

Questions owners ask
Where does quoted profit actually go on a job?
Into eight places: true cost, quoting, scheduling, time tracking, live job profit, profit drift, extra work and billing. Each page covers one of them.
What is job costing for contractors?
Tracking what a job really costs — labour at true cost, materials, equipment and extras — against what was quoted, so margin can be managed while the work is live.
Which leak should we look at first?
The one you recognised while reading the list. They compound, so closing the earliest one in the sequence usually improves every stage after it.
Are the dollar figures on these pages real client results?
No. Every figure is an illustrative example and labelled as such. During a Profit Recovery Review we replace them with your numbers.
