03 — Construction accounting

Most contractors learn a job lost money after it’s over.

General accounting tracks accounts. Construction runs on jobs, cost codes, change orders and retainage. That gap is where margin quietly disappears.

Profit visibility

A job-cost dashboard built for contractors.

It sits on top of the accounting system you already use and shows, on one screen, where each job makes or loses money. No accounting background required.

From spreadsheets to one job-cost dashboard.

Subcontracts, change orders and purchase orders now live in one place, with cost-code alerts, AIA-style pay apps and compliance tracking across every project.

Built by people who have run the jobs.

Stratacore gives contractors the estimating, project controls and construction accounting of a large firm, without building that team in-house.

Our founders ran projects at DPR Construction and Achillbeg Construction, and got tired of watching good jobs lose money on paperwork.
