What Gets Measured

Five dimensions that decide whether a paving business makes money.

These aren't abstract categories. Each one maps to a specific place margin leaks out of a contracting business.

Job Costing

6 Q

How precisely you know what each job actually costs you.

Without live job costs you find out a job lost money after it's closed — when nothing can be done about it.

Operations

6 Q

How consistently work runs without the owner in the middle of it.

Owner-dependent operations cap how much work you can take on and make the business hard to value.

Purchasing

5 Q

The leverage you carry with suppliers and vendors.

Buying alone at list price hands margin to your suppliers on every ton and every gallon.

Technology

6 Q

Whether your systems give you numbers you can act on.

Disconnected spreadsheets mean double entry, stale numbers, and decisions made on gut feel.

Growth

6 Q

How ready the business is for its next stage.

Without a plan for capital, people, and succession, growth stalls exactly when the opportunity appears.
