Construction
Margin is decided before the first pour.
Construction margin is set at estimate and lost in the detail — under-captured variations, subcontractor costs nobody tested, and cash trapped in retention long after practical completion. We work on the commercial discipline around delivery, and on widening the pipeline of developers and main contractors who put you on tender lists.
The problems that bring construction businesses to us
- Estimating leans on experience rather than data, so realised margin varies wildly by job.
- Variations and change orders are agreed on site and under-captured in billing.
- Subcontractor and material costs aren't tested against the market on any schedule.
- Cash sits in retention and slow certification while payroll runs weekly.
Where we actually move the numbers
Job-level margin visibility
Costing discipline and reporting that shows realised margin per job against estimate — the number that tells you which work to stop bidding for.
Variation and billing capture
Process and documentation so agreed variations reach the invoice instead of the site diary.
Procurement and subcontractor management
A tested supplier base, renewal calendars, and negotiation support that recovers margin every quarter.
Tender pipeline
Verified data on developers, main contractors, and specifiers, plus the outreach to get onto more tender lists.
What good looks like
- Realised margin per job visible and moving toward estimate.
- Variations captured and billed rather than absorbed.
- Cash cycle shortened through tighter certification discipline.
- A wider tender pipeline and less dependence on a few relationships.
