Margin is won or lost between your systems. Hobasa finds it while you can still fix it.
Your project management, accounting and payroll each hold part of the picture, so cost drift, unbilled change orders and trapped cash surface at closeout, when it is too late. Hobasa connects them, surfaces the leak early, and we set it up and run it with you.
Margin is made at the job level, and lost between systems.
In construction, margin is won or lost on each job, but committed costs live in one system, invoices and budgets in another, change orders in a third, and payroll somewhere else. Nobody owns the view across all of them. So cost drift, unbilled change orders, trapped cash and compliance gaps stay hidden until a job closes, when there is nothing left to do about it.
What Hobasa surfaces across your jobs.
Most contractors start with one of these and expand from there. Each capability sits on top of the systems you already run.
Job-cost truth and budget drift
See cost drift while the job can still be corrected, not at closeout. Hobasa connects committed costs, invoices and budgets so margin leaks surface in real time, by cost code and by job.
Unbilled change orders and progress-billing leak
Turn earned-but-unbilled change order and T&M work into collectible revenue, and keep progress billing in sync with the work in place.
Cash trapped in retainage, pay-apps and approvals
Find the operating blockers trapping your cash, retainage, slow pay-app approvals and documentation gaps, before payroll and vendor payments come due.
Subcontractor and compliance proof
Keep COIs, lien waivers and sub prequals connected to payment and closeout, so readiness is continuous instead of a last-minute scramble that creates liability.
Labor cost, burden and crew productivity
See labor cost, burden, overtime and crew productivity against each job, including certified-payroll and prevailing-wage exposure where it applies.
Bonding, surety and lender readiness
Turn everyday job-cost and billing discipline into bonding-, surety- and lender-ready proof: clean WIP, documented cash discipline, and controls you can show.
Hobasa works above your stack, not instead of it.
Hobasa does not replace your project management, your accounting or your payroll. It sits on top, connecting the systems you already run, and gives you the cross-system view none of them can produce on their own. You do not have to rip out your stack or consolidate everything into one ERP. Your field and office teams keep working exactly the way they do today.
We do the hard part, and we keep doing it.
Hobasa is a managed service, not a tool we hand you and walk away from.

Project managers and operations

Bonding, surety, lenders and investors
Get independent, real-time proof of job-cost discipline and cash health.
Turn job-cost discipline into bonding and lender confidence.
Sureties and lenders extend bonding and credit based on whether your WIP, job costing and cash discipline are real and documented. Hobasa turns your everyday job-cost and billing work into bonding-, surety- and lender-ready proof, so you are ready before the request comes instead of rebuilding it under pressure.
