Business process review for how a job actually runs.
Operations improvement from estimate to close — so the tools you already run match how the job actually moves.
The problem
Most shops already have software, a cost system, and a capable field. Margin still leaks in the handoffs: estimate to selections to change orders to billing to closeout. The tools are there. The path through them is not one path.
The Operations Review
$3,200 · two weeks · remote
A two-week Operations Review of estimate → selections → change orders → billing → closeout, including how that work hits job cost and the books.
- Map how a job actually moves at your shop
- Review one closed job and one live job
- Current-state of job cost / GL (WIP, retainage, cost codes, how COs post)
- Ranked gaps and three operational fixes you can run this month
- Written findings, flags for your CPA, and a 90-minute readout
On-site Operations Review is $4,000 if you want a day on site.
Who this is for
Small and mid-size operators who run jobs, assets, or a shop — and need the work, the people, and the systems to match.
General contractors and trades, commercial real estate, multifamily, production homebuilders, and corporate facilities teams.
