How it works

How costs roll up onto every job

  1. 1

    Agree on the job price at approval

    When the client signs the estimate, the agreed pre-tax total and selected options lock onto the job record.

  2. 2

    Crews clock time and equipment runs on the visit

    Field clock-ins record labor hours using each employee’s historical hourly cost rate, while assigned equipment accrues operating time.

    Review margin and fix any missing cost rates

    If an employee or piece of equipment was missing an hourly rate when work happened, Treelocity flags the job and lets you recover the cost cleanly.

What you get

Numbers you can trust in Monday’s meeting

No spreadsheet stitching between timesheets, equipment logs and invoices.

  • Labor, equipment and material cost per job

    Every visit rolls employee hours, equipment operating time and material usage into one margin number.

    Crew
  • Historical employee cost preservation

    Raising a climber’s hourly rate today does not rewrite the labor cost of jobs completed last month.

    Crew
  • Revenue, close rate and margin reports with CSV export

    Filter by date range and crew in your company time zone and export clean CSVs.

Common questions

Job costing questions

How this workflow runs day to day in the office and on the truck.

Can crew members see employee hourly cost rates?

No. Employee hourly cost rates are private to owners and authorized office managers.

What if we forgot to enter an hourly rate for a new hire before their first job?

The report flags the job with a missing-cost warning, and once you enter their rate you can apply it to those past hours so your margin numbers are complete.

Does job margin include sales tax?

No. Job margin is always calculated against the agreed pre-tax job price so collected sales tax never inflates your profit numbers.

Can we export job costing and crew productivity reports to Excel?

Yes. On the Established plan, every revenue, close-rate, margin and crew productivity report exports to a clean CSV file.
