Where billing breaks down for construction

Tendering and design time disappears

Hours spent building quotes, drawings, and revisions before a job is even won usually get absorbed into overheads instead of tracked against the job.

Pre-start work goes unrecorded

Site surveys, client meetings, and mobilisation happen before "the clock starts" in most systems, so none of it shows up in your job cost.

Real job profitability stays a guess

Without pre-job hours included, you don’t just lose time. You lose pricing accuracy on every future tender.
