Why longer project durations quietly strip margin even when revenue looks strong and timelines feel “under control.”

What each extra week on site is really costing your building company in fixed overhead and cash flow pressure.

How recurring subcontractor issues and client tension often point to missing structure, not people problems.

Where even experienced builders rely on memory and goodwill, and how that creates inconsistency across jobs.

What actually improves project performance and profitability without adding more tools or complexity.
