Construction & trades

For contractors who'd rather be building.

Contractors need job costing, progress billing and payroll that hold up to scrutiny. Carolus was built by someone who has run construction companies — and knows where the numbers get tested.

01

Job costing & WIP

Margins, job by job

You can't manage a job you can't see. We set up cost codes that match how you estimate and build, keep every cost posted to the right job, and deliver a monthly WIP schedule — so you know where each project stands while there's still time to change the outcome.

  • Cost codes set up to match your estimates
  • Monthly WIP schedule
  • Over/under billings
  • Percentage-of-completion reporting
  • Estimate-vs-actual job reviews
02

Progress billing

Pay apps & retention

Getting paid on time starts with a clean pay application. We prepare AIA G702/G703 pay apps against your schedule of values, track retention on every job, and keep change orders from slipping through the cracks.

  • AIA G702/G703 pay applications
  • Schedule of values set up & maintained
  • Retention tracking
  • Change-order tracking
03

Certified payroll

Prevailing wage

Prevailing-wage and public-works jobs come with paperwork that has to be right. We prepare certified payroll reports, apply the correct classifications and wage determinations, track fringes, and keep your records organized and ready for review.

  • Prevailing-wage & public-works jobs
  • Certified payroll reports
  • Classifications & wage determinations applied correctly
  • Fringe tracking
  • Records kept ready for review
04

Bonding- & lender-ready records

Surety & bank

When your surety or bank asks for numbers, you shouldn't have to scramble. We keep your WIP and financials organized and current, ready to hand to your surety, your bank and your outside tax preparer.

  • Current, organized WIP schedules
  • Reconciled books behind every number
  • Records ready for your surety & bank
  • Clean year-end records for your outside tax preparer
