    DID THAT JOB MAKE MONEY?

    Review the costs of completed jobs before you price the next one.

    You finished the work. The customer paid. The bank account went up.

    That still does not tell you what the job left.

    Did That Job Make Money book cover

    Busy can hide a weak job

    A full calendar feels like growth.

    But a job may use more material, labor, travel, or repair work than the quote planned.

    If those facts stay hidden, the next quote starts with the same guess.

    This field guide helps you use completed jobs to make better-informed estimates.

    Start with work already done

    The book shows you how to review completed and paid jobs.

    You will learn what to write down, which costs still need checking, and how to compare the plan with the real job.

    Use your own completed-job information to make a clearer next pricing decision. The guide does not promise a profit result or prescribe one price for every business.

    The Job Profit Check

    Use one simple check for each job:

    1. 01Money paid
    2. 02Material used
    3. 03Crew time
    4. 04Owner time
    5. 05Rentals and outside help
    6. 06Travel and delivery
    7. 07Extra trips
    8. 08Callbacks and rework
    9. 09Money left before company costs
    10. 10One lesson for the next quote

    The goal is not a perfect spreadsheet.

    The goal is a better next decision.
