Remodeling software that tells you which jobs make money
Remodels run for weeks with selections, allowances, and change orders moving constantly — the margin you bid is rarely the margin you finish with. Sevyn tracks each job against its estimate and pulls actual costs from your bank, so you catch a kitchen or bath sliding before it's gone.
Where the margin leaks
- Allowances and client selections drift the budget and the overage never makes it onto a change order.
- Labor on detailed finish work runs long and you don't see it until the job's nearly done.
- You're great at the work but can't say which job types (kitchens vs. baths vs. additions) actually carry your best margin.
- Material price jumps quietly erode the margin you bid months ago.
Estimate from your last kitchen, not a blank page
Duplicate the closest job you've done, adjust quantities, and pull pricing from your pricebook. Allowances and selections are first-class, so the client's choices update the estimate instead of silently blowing the budget.
Track the job while you can still fix it
Each won estimate becomes a job with a live budget. As materials, subs, and crew hours hit, margin recalculates — and Sevyn flags a job the moment it drifts off its estimate, so a long tile day or a selection overage surfaces now, not at closeout.
Real costs from your bank, and patterns over time
Costs flow from your bank and match to the right job automatically. Over a few jobs, Sevyn shows which work actually carries your margin — so you can bid the next kitchen on what it really costs, and a clean copy goes to QuickBooks for your accountant.
What Sevyn tracks against your estimate
- Materials & fixtures
- Allowances & selections
- Own-crew labor
- Subcontractors (plumbing, electrical, tile)
- Change orders
- Disposal & permits
FAQ
Can Sevyn handle allowances and selections?
Yes — they're built into the estimate, and change orders adjust the budget when a client's selection runs over the allowance, so the overage is captured instead of eaten.
Will it tell me which job types are most profitable?
Yes. Because real costs flow from your bank into each job, Sevyn can show margin by job over time, so you learn whether kitchens, baths, or additions actually carry your best profit.
