The system
One place for the numbers that decide whether a job makes money.
Stop rebuilding the same estimate logic in scattered files. OwnerLanes connects the bid, approved changes, actual spend, collections and job profit in one reusable command center.
Control the scope
Client Quote and Change Orders separate the original bid from approved changes.
Track the money
Actual Costs and Payments show what has been spent, collected and still outstanding.
Know the outcome
Job Profit and Dashboard compare budget, forecast and actual performance across jobs.
Simple workflow
Bid → job → real profit.
Each step hands the right numbers to the next, so you can see what changed between the price you sold and the result you actually earned.

FAQ
Clear answers before you buy.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
The product is delivered as an .xlsx workbook and is designed for Microsoft Excel.
Can I use it for more than one project?
Yes. The system is built around project IDs so you can estimate and track multiple jobs in the same workbook.
Does it replace bookkeeping software?
No. It is a contractor decision tool for estimating, job-cost tracking and profit visibility—not a replacement for accounting, tax or payroll systems.
Can I customize the workbook?
Yes. Keep a clean backup first, then adapt your business details, cost library and working copies to your operation.
What does the license cover?
One business may use the workbook internally across its own projects. Resale, redistribution and sharing the source file with another business are not permitted.
Is profit guaranteed?
No. The workbook organizes the numbers you enter so you can make better-informed decisions. Results depend on your inputs, pricing, execution and actual job costs.
