Southwest Ohio

Working in Cincinnati

The Cincinnati economy leans on consumer products, banking, and a large logistics and aerospace footprint and hospital systems, universities, and a deep professional services bench, so contractors and builders here need an estimating spreadsheet, email, and the accounting package to keep working through the monthly job cost review, and custom software development has to be priced with that in mind.

Near the basin downtown, contractors and builders still run an estimating spreadsheet, email, and the accounting package that worked fine when the business was half its size, and custom software development mostly deals with the difference.

What this looks like day to day

Custom Software for contractors and builders

Contractors in Cincinnati usually call us about job costing, and job costing is where custom work pays for itself, because two Cincinnati contractors will define committed cost two different ways. We build it so the estimate, the change order, and the field hours all land on one job number, and the cost you see on the fifteenth is the real one. Change orders get extra care. We make sure each one is signed, priced, and pushed to billing, since approved work that never got billed is the leak we find most often with builders.

That is the general shape of custom software development for contractors and builders. How it plays out across Southwest Ohio depends on an estimating spreadsheet, email, and the accounting package and how far the change order has drifted.

  • What a documented process and prototypes you click would free up for contractors and builders in Cincinnati, OH, counted in hours a week

Questions

What Cincinnati businesses ask us

Do you need access to everything in Cincinnati to start custom software development?

No. The Cincinnati, OH audit starts from whatever the project manager can show us, and we open up an estimating spreadsheet, email, and the accounting package in stages as contractors and builders get comfortable.

How far ahead should contractors and builders plan custom software development?

Ahead of the third re-keying of the same numbers, ideally. In practice the Cincinnati, OH audit is worth booking once the change order starts costing the project manager real hours each week.

How long does custom software development take from first call in Cincinnati?

The Cincinnati, OH audit happens within a week, and the Cincinnati scope follows about two weeks later. Then the build runs on whatever the monthly job cost review allows, and contractors and builders get the dates in writing.

What if the change order is spread across paper as well as an estimating spreadsheet, email, and the accounting package?

That is where most contractors and builders in Cincinnati start. The audit maps both, and we usually start a documented process and prototypes you click at the spots where the paper and an estimating spreadsheet, email, and the accounting package disagree.
