What are NAHB cost codes?
NAHB cost codes are the defined list of codes that are used for tracking, managing, reporting on the amounts, quantities, budgets, profit, and other account information associated with the job. The cost codes have been defined by NAHB (National Association of Home Builders).
The goal of using cost codes is to streamline data management on a company-wide basis, making it reusable for all stakeholders including estimators, project managers, administration, accounting, and more.
You will find benefits from a standard structure in all stages of your project. Be it in the estimation phase when you want to see what these same jobs cost on a similar project. Or in the project management phase so that there is a more easily understandable structure to the project financials.

Cost codes are hierarchical and chronological
You can see that the jobs are broken down in terms of structure and in chronological order. NAHB has defined the cost codes well sot that the bigger sections of work contain smaller parts.
Because of this, you can easily see the progress and profitability of the project in stages. This means that you can already see how much profit some of the first works are going to give before the project has ended.

Spreadsheets zijn niet de beste manier om taakkosten te beheren
- Het is te gemakkelijk om fouten te maken;
- Je kunt niet achter de cijfers kijken;
- Het is moeilijk om te standaardiseren en naleving te garanderen;
- Er is geen realtime overzicht van winstgevendheidsprognoses;
- Het betekent dubbel werk voor PM’s en accountants.
