ProfitLens is built specifically around the margin problems that kill builders' profitability.
Variations, labour overruns, material blowouts — ProfitLens tracks every project's estimated vs actual costs and flags the line items that consistently blow out across your jobs.
You're owed money but can't access it. ProfitLens gives you a real-time view of outstanding invoices, overdue amounts, and the exact cash flow impact of slow-paying clients.
Subbies invoicing more than expected, or slower progress meaning longer on-site time. ProfitLens helps you track subbies as a cost component and compare estimated vs actual on every trade.
Most builders feel one sector is more profitable but can't prove it. ProfitLens breaks down margin by job type, client type, and project size so you know exactly where to focus.
