Most Builders Don't Know If They're Profitable Until It's Too Late
You quote a job, win it, and get to work. Materials cost more than expected. The client adds extras. Suddenly you're three months in and not sure if you're making money or losing it. By the time you do the final accounts, the damage is done.

The Numbers That Actually Matter
“I used to find out a job lost money about three months after we finished it. Now I can see margin erosion happening in real-time and do something about it.”
