Construction

Margin leaks in layers. We find every one.

Estimate drift. Labor blind spots. Reporting lag. Missed field changes. Billing leakage. Closeout delays. We diagnose where it happens, then install the systems that stop it.

The Operating Reality

PMs building reports manually in spreadsheets every week

Controllers closing on stale job data because the reports lag

Owners relying on verbal updates instead of live dashboards

Labor overages discovered two pay cycles too late

Field changes not making it to billing cleanly or at all

Estimate lessons never feeding back into future bids

What We Diagnose

Estimate to Project Handoff

Are assumptions, markup, and scope transferring cleanly into execution?

Labor Tracking

Are hours tied to production context or just payroll categories?

Superintendent Reporting

Is field data making it to the office in time to matter?

PM Reporting Cadence

Are project managers producing usable updates or just filling templates?

Change Event Capture

Are field changes becoming change orders before they become lost revenue?

Billing Readiness

Are billing packages keeping pace with production?

Cash Flow Visibility

Can leadership see cash position against committed costs?

Closeout Bottlenecks

Is retention being tracked and collected systematically?

We knew margin was leaking but could never pinpoint where. The diagnostic laid out every gap with a dollar figure attached. The dashboards they installed changed how we run weekly meetings.

Your operation is measurable. The diagnostic proves it.

Two to four weeks. Every finding comes with a dollar figure. Every recommendation points to a system that can be installed.
