Job Cost Platform for Mechanical & HVAC Subcontractors
Know a job is losing money six weeks before the cost report shows it.
Mechaniqal is the job cost subledger for commercial mechanical and HVAC subcontractors — budgets, purchase orders, field cost capture, and forecast divergence, running on top of whatever accounting system you already use.
Accounting-agnostic by architecture
One operational surface across QuickBooks Online through Sage, through a pluggable adapter — not an Intuit-only integration bolted onto one accounting system.
Forecast divergence, not job costing
Every competitor reports what a job has cost. Mechaniqal is built to flag that a job is losing money weeks before the cost report shows it.
Construction-to-service handoff
Project closeout populates a serviceable asset registry — warranty dates, specs, submittal data — turning project delivery into a recurring-revenue pipeline.
Everything a job needs, in one operational system
Not a general-purpose job-costing tool retrofit for the trades — built cost-code-first, for the way a mechanical subcontractor actually runs work.
Race-safe job numbering, estimate import from GC bid forms, and budget versioning with freeze-on-award.
PO issuance with a named-approver authorization list, receiving, and 3-way match against AP bills.
Foreman timecards built for a 90-second crew entry, with an offline write queue for jobsite connectivity.
Append-only postings, effective-dated labor & burden rates, and period locking — an accounting-grade subledger.
Real-time visibility into where a job stands, broken down cost code by cost code.
Five roles, from foreman to executive, with financial controls like the Vendor Authorized List.
