Are your project schedules eating your profits? 📊

When a construction company lacks proper accountability systems, the problems compound quickly.

Deadlines slip. Productivity drops. Quality issues multiply, and trust erodes - with clients, trade partners, and your own staff.

Soon you're trapped in a cycle of finger-pointing and poor communication, all while growth stalls and friction builds.

But these aren't just operational headaches - they're profit killers.

Your fixed overhead costs remain the same whether you're running two projects or twelve. Every day a project slips behind schedule, those overhead costs are eating into your profits.

And, for most construction companies, the financial impact runs deeper than they realize.

This played out recently with one of our clients:

We worked with a high-revenue construction company in North Carolina. They had decades of experience and a strong performance track record. 

But when we asked their six project managers about schedule status, the answers were troublingly ambiguous.

You see, the issue wasn't poor performance - it was poor accountability.

The transformation started with a single change. We created one critical KPI that combined schedule performance with profitability metrics.

 Every project manager had to report on both - no more ambiguous updates.

The results?

• Project schedules began improving immediately

• Change orders were tracked and adjusted properly

• Schedule adherence became measurable and manageable

This single accountability system helped the company recover approximately $300,000 in net profit that would have been lost to untracked schedule slippage.

But an optimization like this is just the beginning.

Every construction company has similar opportunities hiding in plain sight - they just need the right systems to uncover and capture them.

At Highspire, we coach construction companies to build systems that transform performance into profit. Because when you measure what matters, you can manage what matters.

Let's put these proven systems to work in your business
