Where the gaps are

The shape matters more than the score. An even profile means steady, incremental improvement. A spiked one — strong in some areas, weak in others — usually means a small number of specific fixes would move the whole business.

Purchasing42
Buying alone at list price hands margin to your suppliers on every ton and every gallon.
Job Costing51
Without live job costs you find out a job lost money after it's closed — when nothing can be done about it.

What to do about it

Ordered by where you scored lowest. Each one starts with the operational fix — the Alliance resource is only relevant if the fix matters to you.

  1. 1

    Stop buying alone

    Benchmark what you pay for your top three materials against what comparable contractors pay, then renegotiate from a position of information.

    Members buy through national vendor pricing negotiated for the group rather than one company at a time.

  2. 2

    Get costs onto the job while it's still running

    Put one cost structure in place that every estimator and crew uses, and start comparing estimated against actual before the job closes — not after.

    Job Cost Portal was built around exactly this: estimated vs. actual tracked daily, with labor burden applied automatically.

  3. 3

    Cut the double entry

    Map every place the same number gets typed twice. That list is your systems roadmap, in priority order.

    JCP runs estimating, contracts, labor, billing and reporting off one record, so a number is entered once.
