What Are Your Hidden Job Costs?
Hidden job costs don’t show up itemized on your P&L, but they do affect it.
It Doesn’t Feel Like a Problem.
The jobs are getting done.
Crews are moving.
Invoices are going out.
Nothing is broken.
But something is… off.
You feel it in payroll week.
You feel it when cash is tighter than it should be.
You feel it when profit looks fine on paper —
but the bank account disagrees.
It’s not one big mistake.
It’s small friction.
A scope that wasn’t locked.
A change order that wasn’t entered.
An invoice that waited three extra days.
A tech who waited 40 minutes for missing material.
Data entered twice.
Then corrected.
No single moment looks expensive.
But together?
They stretch your days to invoice.
They stretch your billing cycle.
They stretch your margin thinner than you planned.
Hidden job costs don’t show up itemized on your P&L.
They show up in drift.
Between sales.
Between the field.
Between the office.
That space in between?
That’s where profit leaks.
