Construction Management | Job Costing & Cost Sheet Control in Odoo


Complete Solution for Contracting and Project Cost Management

Managing construction projects, contracting jobs, and project financials requires precision, planning, and clear visibility of both planned and actual costs. The Construction Management with Job Costing Odoo App brings all these processes together, allowing companies to manage every type of project or contract efficiently within Odoo. It provides a powerful combination of job costing, job cost sheets, project tracking, and material planning to help construction and contracting businesses operate with better control and accuracy.


Plan and Manage Job Costs Effectively

The app enables project managers to create detailed job cost sheets for projects, contracts, job orders, or work orders. These cost sheets help teams plan materials, labour, and overhead requirements before the work begins. Every job can be prepared with accurate cost estimates, ensuring your project starts with a clear financial roadmap.


Track Actual Costs in Real Time

Once work begins, the app automatically collects actual costs from purchase orders, timesheets, and vendor bills. This gives project managers an immediate comparison between what was planned and what is actually being spent on labour, materials, and overheads. With this visibility, teams can identify cost overruns early and take corrective action.


Integrated Construction Project Workflow

The system offers a fully integrated construction workflow inside Odoo. Users can create and manage projects, contracts, and job orders, along with project notes and work order notes. Material requisition (BOQ) requests can be created directly from job orders, and the system supports instant creation of purchase orders and internal material transfers. Subcontractors can also be managed in the system, ensuring all parties connected with the project are tracked seamlessly.


Material, Labour and Overhead Planning

Your project team can configure and set up all cost components—materials, labour, and overheads—directly on the job cost sheet. This creates a clear cost structure for every project and helps your team plan resources efficiently. Multiple job cost sheets can be created for a single project when required, ensuring flexibility for complex or multi-phase projects.


Operational Control Through Odoo

Employees can fill timesheets linked to job cost centers and specific cost lines. Material consumption can be managed manually on job orders or work orders. The system generates a unique sequence number for every job cost sheet, making tracking easy and organized. You can print professionally formatted PDF reports for job cost sheets and job orders whenever needed.


Industries That Benefit from Job Costing in Odoo

The solution is suitable for a wide range of industries, including construction, civil engineering, oil and gas, mining, power and energy, telecommunications infrastructure, marine and offshore operations, industrial manufacturing, real estate development, environmental construction, roads and highways, bridges and tunnels, water and sewerage projects, demolition, landscaping, HVAC installation, electrical and plumbing contracting, steel fabrication, modular and prefabricated construction, and concrete and cement works, among many others.


Menus Available

The app provides dedicated menus inside Odoo to manage projects, job orders, job cost sheets, material requisitions, cost configurations, job types, job stages, and subcontractors. These menus keep your contracting and construction operations organized and easy to navigate.
