Job Costing
Track actual costs, committed costs, pending change orders, projected final cost, and budget variance at job, phase, and cost-code level using direct ERP and PM system data.
Datateer turns fragmented construction cost data into real-time financial clarity for commercial contractors, CFOs, and advisory firms. Replace delayed spreadsheets with automated job costing, WIP, variance, margin fade, and cost-to-complete dashboards synced directly from your ERP, so leaders can spot overruns, protect profit, and act before project risk becomes a month-end surprise without another reporting marathon.
Automated dashboards connect cost, budget, cash, and project data into decision-ready construction finance insights daily.
Track actual costs, committed costs, pending change orders, projected final cost, and budget variance at job, phase, and cost-code level using direct ERP and PM system data.
Monitor budget versus actuals across labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, overhead, phases, and cost codes, with drill-downs to source transactions for faster anomaly investigation.
Automate WIP schedules, percentage complete, earned revenue, billed revenue, over-billings, under-billings, and projected margin to replace month-end spreadsheet marathons.
Identify margin fade early by comparing original estimated margin to current projected margin and surfacing the cost codes or phases driving deterioration.
Analyze pending, approved, denied, and executed change orders by aging, revenue impact, margin impact, project phase, and owner approval status.
Track purchased material unit costs against bid estimates and market indices, helping teams understand exposure to lumber, steel, concrete, fuel, and other cost shifts.

Datateer exists to help construction finance leaders move from manual data gathering to strategic decision-making. The platform automates the flow from ERP and project systems into executive-ready dashboards, giving CFOs, controllers, owners, project managers, and advisory firms a shared single source of truth. Its architecture supports firms ranging from $10M to over $1B in AR, with direct integrations across major construction systems and custom connections for unique environments. Datateer is also expanding from 12 day-one reports to 50+ industry-standard dashboards over the next 12-18 months, giving clients early access to a growing roadmap built around real contractor workflows.
The 0.6 rule, also called the six-tenths rule, is a rough estimating method used to scale project costs based on size or capacity. It assumes cost increases at a nonlinear rate, often using the formula new cost equals old cost multiplied by the size ratio raised to 0.6. It is useful for early conceptual estimates, not detailed job costing or live cost control.
