CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS CONSULTING

CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
THAT SCALE.

Your company is winning more work than your operations can handle. Jobs are slipping, margins are shrinking, and every project runs differently. We build the operational systems that let construction companies grow without breaking.

THE CHALLENGE

GROWING REVENUE.
SHRINKING MARGINS.

Construction companies between $3M and $50M face a brutal paradox: more projects should mean more profit, but without operational systems, every new job adds complexity without adding margin. The company grows, but the owner works harder and takes home less.

5–10% REVENUE LOST TO JOB COST FAILURES

Most GCs don't know a job is underwater until closeout. Change orders get missed, labor overruns aren't caught in real time, and material costs aren't tracked against estimates. By the time the final numbers come in, the margin is gone.

#1 BOTTLENECK: SUBCONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT

Growing GCs juggle dozens of subs across multiple active projects with no standardized vetting, no performance tracking, and no centralized communication. One bad sub tanks an entire project timeline and your relationship with the owner.

2–5% MONTHLY OVERHEAD FROM DELAYS

Every month a project runs over schedule, overhead absorption eats into profit. Superintendent time, equipment costs, insurance, and carrying costs compound. A 60-day delay on a $2M job can erase the entire margin.

The problem isn't your team. It's that nobody built the systems your company needs at this size.
That's what we do.

WHAT WE FIX

OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS
FOR CONSTRUCTION.

We don't deliver binders. We embed into your company and build the operational infrastructure that general contractors and specialty trades need to scale from $3M to $50M and beyond. Every system is built around how construction actually works. Not how a consultant who's never been on a jobsite thinks it should work.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Standardized project workflows from pre-construction through closeout. RFI tracking, submittal management, scheduling templates, and milestone accountability systems. We configure your PM tools. Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct. So your PMs run projects the same way every time instead of inventing a new process for every job.

ESTIMATING & BIDDING

Win rate tracking, historical cost databases, margin accuracy analysis, and bid-to-actual reporting. Most construction companies don't know their true win rate or whether their estimates are consistently high or low. We build the feedback loop between estimating and job costing so every bid gets smarter than the last.

SUBCONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT

Qualified sub databases, performance scorecards, standardized scoping templates, and prequalification workflows. We systematize how you vet, select, manage, and evaluate subs so you stop relying on the PM's personal rolodex and start building an institutional advantage in sub relationships.

JOB COSTING & CHANGE ORDERS

Real-time cost tracking against estimates, automated variance alerts, change order capture workflows, and WIP reporting that your accountant and your PMs both understand. We integrate your field data with your accounting system. QuickBooks, Sage, Foundation. So you know job profitability before the job is done, not six weeks after.

CREW SCHEDULING & LABOR

Manpower planning across multiple active projects, skills-based crew assignment, overtime tracking, and labor productivity analysis. Construction labor is your biggest variable cost. We build the scheduling systems that prevent double-booking, reduce idle time, and give you visibility into labor utilization across every active job.

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Safety program documentation, incident tracking, OSHA compliance workflows, toolbox talk systems, and EMR management. Poor safety isn't just a liability risk. It's an operational cost and a bidding disqualifier. We build safety systems that protect your people and your prequalification scores.

OUR PROCESS

DIAGNOSE. BUILD. DRIVE.

Every construction operations engagement follows the same proven framework. We assess what's broken, build the systems to fix it, and drive execution until the results are locked in.

DIAGNOSE

30-day operational assessment across your entire construction operation. We audit project management workflows, job costing accuracy, estimating processes, subcontractor management, crew scheduling, safety programs, and technology utilization. You get a prioritized roadmap of the three to five highest-impact fixes available in the first 90 days. With dollar amounts attached to each one.

BUILD

We design and implement the operational systems your company needs. Standardized project workflows, job cost tracking integrated with your accounting software, sub prequalification databases, crew scheduling tools, and safety documentation. Every system is built inside the tools you already use. Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Sage, QuickBooks. Not on a new platform your team won't adopt.

DRIVE

Systems only work if people use them. We embed with your team. PMs, supers, estimators, office staff. And drive adoption through hands-on training, weekly operational reviews, and KPI tracking. We stay engaged until the systems are running without us and the metrics prove it. Weekly job cost reviews. Monthly P&L accountability. Quarterly strategic planning with your leadership team.

CLIENT RESULTS

MID-SIZE GC. 12 MONTHS.

$14M general contractor running 8–12 concurrent projects with no standardized project management, no real-time job costing, and subcontractor selection based entirely on the superintendent's personal contacts. The owner was involved in every decision. Margins had dropped from 18% to 9% over three years despite revenue growth. We embedded an operations lead, rebuilt their project management and job costing systems, and systematized subcontractor management across all active projects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS ABOUT
CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS

Do you work with general contractors or specialty trades?+

Both. We work with general contractors, specialty subcontractors, design-build firms, and construction management companies between $3M and $50M in revenue. The operational challenges are similar. Job costing, project management, subcontractor coordination, and crew scheduling. Though the specific systems differ by trade and delivery method.

Do we need to switch to Procore or a specific software platform?+

No. We work with your existing tools. Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Sage, QuickBooks, or whatever you're running. The issue is rarely the software. It's how the software is configured, whether anyone is actually using it consistently, and whether it's integrated with your accounting and project management workflows. We fix the process first, then optimize the tools.

How long before we see results on job costing and margins?+

Most clients see measurable improvement in job cost tracking within 60 days. Margin improvement follows within 90–120 days as better data drives better decisions on change orders, labor allocation, and subcontractor selection. The first win is usually visibility. Knowing where you're losing money before the job closes out.

What does a construction operations engagement cost?+

Engagements typically run $5,000 to $15,000 per month depending on scope and company size. Compare that to the 5–10% of revenue most construction companies lose to poor job costing, missed change orders, and project delays. A $10M GC losing 7% to operational inefficiency is bleeding $700K per year. The engagement pays for itself within the first quarter.
