FCS Roofing Software and Jobba Trade Technologies invite roofing professionals to the next session in the FCS Lifecycle Webinar Series focused on budgeting. This free Lunch & Learn takes place Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 10 to 11 a.m. PT. The registration page will display your local time so teams across regions can join with ease.
Hosted by Zach Carpenter of Jobba Trade Technologies and John Kenney of Cotney Consulting and Coffee Shop Influencer, the session shows how to move from scattered inspection notes to clear financial plans that owners understand. Attendees will see how FCS compiles inspection findings, photos and condition scores into portfolio views that roll up by site and asset. You will learn how to translate those insights into budget scenarios that align with client goals and timelines.
The webinar covers practical steps for forecasting capital needs across multiple properties, ranking large projects by risk and impact and setting schedules that balance safety, performance and cash flow. They discuss how to flag urgent items, bundle work for efficiency and present side by side options along with how to produce exportable reports that make approvals faster and client conversations simpler.
Strong budgeting builds trust. With consistent formats and transparent assumptions, contractors can set expectations early, keep stakeholders informed and position their firms for recurring service and project work. The FCS approach helps create predictable pipelines while improving communication with owners and facility managers.
Jobba Trade Technologies, originally stemming from FCS Control, is a leading cloud-based software provider built exclusively for the roofing industry. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Chicago, the company has spent over a decade developing enterprise applications tailored for specialty contractors.
This webinar is part of the FCS Lifecycle Series that helps contractors turn operational data into action across inspection, planning, budgeting and execution. Whether you manage a single site or a national portfolio, you will leave with a clear playbook for turning field data into decisions that win work and strengthen relationships.
