Phase 3 — Project Management & Job Costing
Steel contractors lack real-time visibility into job performance, causing profit loss due to labor inefficiency, poor tracking, and disconnected systems. Steeleye fixes that with live cost tracking, labor metrics, and instant alerts.
The Problem
The budget you quoted never connects to the job. Your field team works with different numbers than your estimating team priced.
You only discover you lost money on a project after it is finished. By then, the damage is done and the margin is gone.
Timesheets get reviewed weeks later—if at all. You have no idea whether your crew is producing at the rate you priced, or burning hours.
Without standardized cost codes, there is no way to compare performance across projects or identify which categories consistently overrun.
Change orders live in scattered emails and files. Revenue that should have been captured gets lost or never billed.
Your PMs don't have a single dashboard showing where the project stands financially. They manage by feel, not by data.
The Steeleye Approach
When an estimate is awarded, Steeleye automatically creates the project with budget, cost codes, and category structure—zero manual re-entry.
Steel-specific cost codes for structural, miscellaneous, deck, and fabrication. Compare performance across every project with the same framework.
See exactly where you stand at any moment. Compare your original estimate against actual costs by category, labor, equipment, and material.
Measure daily production rates against your estimated hours per cost code. Know this week—not next quarter—if your crew is underperforming.
Track every change order from request to approval, tied directly to your project budget. Never leave revenue on the table again.
Automatic alerts trigger when a job exceeds budget, labor efficiency drops below threshold, or cost overruns begin—so you can act immediately.
System Intelligence
Real-time profit visibility per project — know exactly where you stand before the job ends.
Measure daily production rates against estimated hours by cost code to catch underperformance early.
Structural, miscellaneous, metal deck, and fabrication costs — all tracked separately.
Project your final profit based on current spend velocity and remaining budget.
Track every change order from request to approval, tied directly to your project budget.
Give leadership a clear view of which project managers are hitting targets and which need support.
