No ReKeying — Know If a Job Made Money Before You Close It
Your techs track materials on paper, hours on a clipboard, and overhead is allocated by gut feel. Job costing happens in a spreadsheet two weeks after the job closed — if it happens at all. No ReKeying means every cost is captured live so you always know your margin before the invoice goes out.

Electrical contractors deal with strict code compliance, multi-phase projects, and AHJ inspections. Panel schedules, wire pull sheets, and as-built drawings on paper get lost between rough-in and trim — and the inspector does not accept 'we had it somewhere.'
Electrical Industry Data & Research
Key statistics shaping the electrical market today.
- Job cost control software has only 59% adoption among electrical contractors — 41% still rely on manual tracking
- — NECA Technology Survey, 2024
- Electricians are projected to grow 6% through 2033 with 73,500 openings per year
- — Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024
- Construction professionals spend 14+ hours per week on non-productive tasks like searching for files and reconciling documents
- — FMI/Autodesk Construction Productivity Report, 2024
- Poor communication and bad data cause 48% of all construction rework — costing 5–10% of total project value
- — Autodesk/FMI Rework Study, 2023
- Foremen save 2–4 hours per week switching from paper to mobile documentation apps

How Job Cost Tracking Actually Looks in Electrical
The Scenario
An electrical contractor completes a $45,000 service upgrade for a manufacturing facility. Three electricians tracked hours informally, and wire and conduit were pulled from multiple supply orders. The PM reconciles job cost six weeks later — two months after final payment was due.
The Real Impact
Commercial electrical jobs with untracked labor and materials run 10–18% over estimated cost on average. Without real-time costing, profitable and money-losing jobs look the same until month-end.
Does This Sound Like Your Electrical Operation?
- !Cannot tell if a completed job made or lost money until weeks later
- !Materials used in the field don't match what was ordered
- !Labor hours are estimated, not measured — and the estimate is always off
The Cost of Doing Nothing
On average, field service contractors underestimate job costs by 15–20%. On a $200K/month revenue base, that blindness costs $30K–$40K in unrecovered margin per year.
What Electrical Companies Typically Use
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the job cost tracking gap. That's what we build.
Electrical Operational Challenges
- 1NEC code updates every 3 years require re-training and documentation changes

How We Fix Job Cost Tracking for Electrical — No ReKeying
Map Your Workflow
We study exactly where job cost tracking happens in your electrical operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Build a Working Prototype
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
Prove It Before You Pay
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the job cost tracking problem, you don't pay.
