# Project Management for General Contractors

Project management across your entire job portfolio

Every project tracks scope, budget, schedule, documents and profitability in one live record — with a weekly executive briefing on margin by job.

## Why it works for this trade
- **One record per job:** Estimate, schedule, change orders, invoices and messages live together — no more hunting through email and spreadsheets.
- **Margin surfaced early:** Job-level profitability is tracked as costs land, so overruns get flagged while there's still time to act.
- **Owner-level reporting:** A weekly briefing summarizes pipeline, work in progress and margin — the numbers an owner actually needs.

## A day in the life
Monday morning you open the briefing: three jobs on track, one trending over budget on materials, and two invoices outstanding. You act on it before the week starts.

## FAQ
Q: Does it replace spreadsheets and whiteboards?
A: Yes — pipeline, WIP and job financials are live in the dashboard, updated from the same records your team works in.
