Project Job Costing and Job Cost Sheet for Construction

This is a made-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE builds for your specific chart of cost codes and workflow — it is not an existing apps.odoo.com download you can install today. At its core we add a project.cost.sheet model (models.Model, one-to-one with project.project) whose project.cost.sheet.line records are keyed to a configurable cost-code / cost-type structure (labor, material, subcontract, equipment, overhead). Compute fields declared with @api.depends aggregate four columns per line — budget (from the imported estimate), committed (open purchase.order.line and subcontract amounts not yet invoiced), actual (posted account.move.line and account.analytic.line values), and forecast — then derive variance and cost-to-complete without you touching a spreadsheet. Because everything hangs off Odoo's native analytic backbone, a timesheet, a vendor bill, or a stock move automatically lands in the right cost-code row the moment it is confirmed.

On top of the model we build the views your team actually works in: an OWL/XML cost-sheet form with an editable line tree, drill-down from any cell to the source documents, and a QWeb PDF report that prints a clean job cost sheet for owner and lender reporting. Change orders are captured as their own records that adjust the revised budget while preserving the original contract value, retention is tracked as a withheld portion on both receivable and payable sides, and WIP / earned-value figures are exposed for period-end. Security is enforced properly — ir.model.access.csv for group-level create/read/write and record rules so a project manager sees only their own jobs while controllers see the portfolio. Optional automated actions can flag a cost code the moment committed-plus-actual crosses a configurable percentage of budget, and every figure is reachable over the standard XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API for Power BI or an external data warehouse. It runs on Community or Enterprise (Enterprise adds native Accounting and Documents integration we wire into where present), and we deliver against Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0.

Delivery is build-to-order. It starts with a short scoping call to confirm your cost-code structure, how estimates arrive, which cost types you commit against, and your reporting needs; from that we produce a fixed-scope quotation and, once confirmed, build against your target Odoo version with typical delivery of 2–4 weeks depending on complexity. You get the module on a staging database for UAT before it ever touches production, with a documented rollback plan. Pricing starts from $299 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company consolidation, deeper accounting/retention localization, migration of historical job costs, and extra integrations (Power BI, external estimating tools) increase the quoted scope — the firm number is fixed in writing after the scoping call.
