Tight cash flow? The answer usually isn’t closing more sales.
The fastest way to put cash back into your business without spending a dime on marketing is fixing your change order leaks.
Here is what happens on-site every week:
A GC asks your foreman for a "quick favor" or a minor tweak. Your crew does the work, uses your materials, and burns your labor hours. But back at the office, nobody ever wrote up a formal ticket.
You just gave away your highest-margin work for free.
Stop letting the field give away the office’s money. Put one strict rule in place: No signed change order, no work happens.
When you start charging for everything you actually build, your bank account will fill up fast.
How does your team handle field requests before work begins?
