HVAC sheet metal: the coil, the fittings, and the job
An HVAC job is coil, fittings, and hours. The estimate freezes them. The field then adds fittings, and the coil used in the shop is a different weight than the takeoff.
Hours collected only in payroll arrive after the draw.
What the open job has to show
- Coil and fittings issued to the job.
- Shop hours and a change in fittings while the job is open.
- Scrap and a recut on that job.
That is the same kind of gap as seeing the work while it is still open and quoting from a current cost.
The week the record is late
The field adds a run. The shop builds it. The price is never revised. The job still carries the original contract pounds and hours.
Price the change while the coil is still being cut. MFGMAX Heavy Metals holds that record. Accounting can stay where it is. Other systems can connect. What moves, and when, is shown before you commit. This does not replace a required material test, a weld procedure, or an environmental permit.
Mark the week on Problems and Solutions, or read how integrations stay with the platform instead of replacing it.
