Job Cost Tracking for Plumbing Contractors
From service calls to full remodels — know your cost on every job before the invoice goes out.
Sound familiar?
Parts costs are invisible until it's too late
Fittings, fixtures, and specialty parts add up fast. Without tracking per job, you're guessing your margin on every quote.
Service call labor is hard to allocate
Your plumbers jump between multiple jobs in a day. Tracking their hours accurately across three service calls is nearly impossible with paper.
Remodel jobs balloon beyond estimate
Rough-in, trim-out, and fixture installation span weeks. By the time you invoice, you've lost track of what the job actually cost.
How Punch Ledger helps plumbing contractors
Purpose-built for project-based contractors — not adapted from generic accounting software.
Track parts and fixtures per job
Scan supplier receipts from the supply house on your phone. AI reads the parts list and assigns costs to the right project — no manual entry.
Crew scheduling across multiple jobs
Assign plumbers to different job sites each day. Hours allocate to the right project automatically, feeding directly into payroll.
See margin on every project in real time
Your project dashboard shows labor, parts, and sub costs against your bid. Know before you finish rough-in whether you're on budget.
Invoices that match your actual costs
Build invoices from your recorded job costs — no copying numbers between systems. Send quotes for larger remodels and convert to invoice on approval.
Common questions
Can I use Punch Ledger for service calls and larger remodels at the same time?
Yes. You can have unlimited active projects. Short service calls and multi-week remodels are both tracked as separate projects with their own cost breakdown.
How do I track plumbers who move between multiple jobs in one day?
The Plan Work scheduling board lets you assign the same employee to multiple projects on the same day with different hour splits. The payroll report allocates labor to each project correctly.
Can I track subcontractors like tile or drywall subs?
Yes. Sub invoices are recorded as project expenses in the subcontractor cost category, so they appear in your job P&L alongside your own labor and materials.
Does Punch Ledger work for new construction and service work?
Yes — any project type that has expenses and labor associated with it. Many plumbing contractors track both residential service and new construction jobs in the same account.
