CostWatch is being built for the first contractors and remodelers. Be one of the first — the waitlist shapes what we build next.

What you get

Less guessing. Fewer write-offs. Margins you can see.

CostWatch runs your job costs in the background, so you catch an overrun on day three — not when the invoice clears.

See every job's margin in real time

Labor hours and material costs roll up against the quote the moment they're logged — no spreadsheet, no month-end surprise.

FAQ

What you're probably wondering

Do I have to change how I track hours?

No. Keep logging time and materials the way you do now — CostWatch reads them and does the costing for you.

Does it work with my accounting tools?

That's the plan — we're building sync for the timesheet and accounting tools contractors already use. Early access shapes which come first.

How does it know my budget?

From your quote. Set the labor hours and material budget once, and every cost rolls up against it automatically.

How do I get alerted?

A push or email the moment a job crosses the margin line you set — early enough to adjust scope or talk to the client.
