Construction Management & Project Job Costing with Odoo

A Complete Job Cost Sheet & Contracting Management Solution

Managing construction projects and contracting jobs becomes far more efficient when everything is organized in a single system. The Construction Management with Job Costing Odoo App is designed to help companies handle projects, contracts, and job orders with a complete job costing and job cost sheet approach. It allows project managers to plan material, labour, and overhead costs while also tracking actual expenses coming from purchase orders, vendor bills, and timesheets. With clear visibility of planned versus actual costs, teams can make timely and informed decisions throughout the project.

This app supports the full contracting workflow. Project teams can create and manage job cost sheets for projects, job orders, work orders, or contracts, while also maintaining project notes and job order notes directly inside Odoo. Material requisition (BOQ) requests can be raised from each job order, and the system allows on-the-spot creation of purchase orders or internal transfers. Material, labour, and overhead planning is fully handled within the cost sheet, and multiple job cost sheets can be managed for a single project if required. It also supports PDF printouts of job sheets and cost reports, configuration of job types and job stages, and management of subcontractors as Odoo partners.

Employees can submit timesheets linked to job cost centers and cost lines, ensuring accurate labour cost tracking. Material consumption can be managed manually at the job or work order level, and actual costs flow automatically based on linked purchase orders, vendor bills, and timesheets. Every job cost sheet is tracked with a unique sequence to maintain clarity and control.

Overall, this solution provides a complete picture of planned and actual project costs, helping construction and contracting businesses run their operations smoothly within Odoo. It is widely applicable across industries such as construction, civil engineering, oil and gas, power and energy, mining, real estate, telecommunications infrastructure, marine and offshore, industrial manufacturing, roads and highways, bridges, water systems, demolition, landscaping, HVAC, electrical and plumbing contracting, steel fabrication, structural engineering, modular and prefabricated construction, and concrete works, among many others.
