Your cost breakdown shouldn't drift job to job

One library, maintained once

Keep your standard cost breakdown structure at organisation level instead of a fresh copy that quietly drifts each job.

Consistent from day one

Apply the library per project so estimates, budgets, commitments and bills code against the same structure from the start.

Clean roll-up across the business

Because everything codes against one library, costs roll up consistently from estimate through to final payment.

Set your cost standards once

From an org-level library to consistent coding on every job.

Cost codes are the spine of Win to Pay

The same codes tie your estimate, budget, subcontracts, purchase orders and bills together, so a figure can be tracked from first price to final payment without re-coding. Configure the library once and every other module inherits your standards.

Frequently asked questions

Cost codes are an organisation-level library, configured once and then available across every project, so you don't rebuild them per job.

You apply your org cost code library to the project, so its estimates, budgets, commitments and bills all code against the same structure.

Every project draws from the same org library, which is what keeps roll-up consistent across the business. Maintain the library centrally so changes apply everywhere.
