MARK SYSTEMS' IHMS
Home Builder Software
Job Cost Reporting

No matter how accurate your information is, it is most valuable in the hands of the people that need it. For homebuilders, many of these people are not located in the main office, and in fact are often not even employees. These stakeholders include construction supervisors, subcontractors, suppliers, homebuyers and homeowners.

USER-DEFINED REPORTING
 Virtually any information within the IHMS database can be included on an individual’s home page. In particular, construction detail such as Work Orders, Service Requests, Variance Purchase Orders and Job Starts are available at a mouse click. Drill-down and re-sort capabilities are included throughout the system, for example, from Job Starts directly to the associated Change Order.

INTERATED LOAN DRAWS
MARK SYSTEMS’ Integrated Homebuilder Management System is designed to ensure that you sell only what you can build, and that you build exactly what you sold. Real time integrations between sales and production means that change orders are controlled before they become a problem. And instantaneous communication to superintendents and subcontractors means that everyone you’re relying on has the correct information at the exact time that they need it. Field errors and callbacks are virtually eliminated, because the house is built right the first time.

ENHANCE CUSTOMER SERVICE
: With the Internet ToolKit, homebuyers and homeowners can each have their own unique home page, showing purchased and available options, construction status, sales and customer service links, “last mile” and post-closing sales information – virtually anything the builder wishes to include.

The Bottom Line: MARK SYSTEMS' IHMS Internet ToolKit keeps your customers happy, improves construction quality, and helps get your homes built on time and on budget.

TRUE SUB-LEDGER DETAIL
Built around an enterprise-scale General Ledger,. MARK SYSTEMS IHMS Home Builder Software gives you unprecendeted control over cost accounting and reporting. With detailed subledger support for multiple Work In Process accounts, multi-company transactions and product level reporting, MARK SYSTEMS' Job Cost accounting gives every builder a new level of job cost control.

And you're not limited to just Work In Process. ANY account in MARK SYSTEMS Homebuilder General Ledger software can be defined as a sub-ledger account. So, settlement escrows, commissions, selling expenses - any account that involves transactions for a lot, house or community can show complete subledger detail.

OPTION LEVEL COSTING
No other homebuilder software can give you the insight into option sales, costs and profitability that you get from MARK SYSTEMS IHMS Home Builder Software. Every option is budgeted and contracted for each trade involved. Every option sold on every house is tracked in detail, giving you individual sales, cost and profit reporting at any reporting level.


PROFIT REPORTING AT ANY LEVEL
Because MARK SYSTEMS IHMS Home Builder Accounting Software tracks detail costs at the house and product level, Job Cost and profitability can be reported by house, model, option, project or company. Within these major categories, costs can be shown at any level of detail -from the actual transaction postings, to individual cost codes, cost categories, or cost summary groups. Just as importantly, every report is customizable by the user, so you can include or exclude any information that you require.


SEPARATE WARRANTY SUB-LEDGER
Unlike many "home building" software systems that required warranty costs to be included in job cost, MARK SYSTEMS IHMS Home Builder Software treats warranty expense as it should be treated - as an expense. MARK SYSTEMS Homebuilder Warranty Software tracks each warranty cost in detail to each house, with incurred cost and variance reporting at virtually any level..
