Framing is one big lumber drop and three weeks of labor. The package is most of the cost, it's priced on the day it ships, and the margin is decided by how many days your crew spends on floors, walls and roof, and by what changes after the lumber is on site.
Obra keeps each house as its own job, with the lumber against its line and the labor split by phase, so you know what the house made you before the sheathing inspection.
The package against the bid
Log the yard's invoice against the lumber line the day it arrives. If material goes back, edit the expense down to the net amount with the credit slip attached. If the price moved between bid and delivery, the job's page shows it right away. The committed costs guide explains why the package should count from the order, not from the final bill.
Floors, walls, roof
Split labor into three codes. After a few houses you'll know which phase your crew is fast on and which one costs you days. The cost code guide has a short list you can copy.
The revision, the price, the slab
The three change orders below show up on most framing jobs. Write each one as a change order the day it comes up, with your markup, and get the signature before you cut the new beam or re-lay out the walls. The change order guide keeps the wording short.
The margin on every house
When the final draw is paid, the job's page shows the contract, the total cost and the margin. Compare your custom homes with your production work and your additions. The markup and margin guide helps you set the number to aim for per square foot.
What Obra isn't for a framer
Not takeoff software, not scheduling, not payroll. Obra is the money on each house, in English and Spanish, from receipts your crew already sends, exported clean to the accountant.
