Fractional Operations Leadership Serving High End Residential Contractors
Our goal is to provide Fractional Operations Leadership to High End Residential Contractors, creating visibility and control over your project’s Time, Cost, and Quality constraints.
These specialized services are deployed on an as-needed basis, providing you with scalable operational horsepower without the persistent overhead of a full-time salary.
Client Facing work is structured as a directly billable Project Cost, allowing your firm to mark up and pass through these professional services as you would with any other Subcontractor.
The Value Triangle
Every project is a tug-of-war between Time, Cost, and Quality.
Most builders naturally focus on Quality—the finish that carries their name.
Without dedicated oversight, management of Time and Cost tend to lag.
We create, implement and manage the logistical and financial systems so you can focus on executing the highest Quality projects, while still remaining in full control of the Time and Cost constraints.
The Roadmap
-
Audit the current Value Triangle to identify where Time and Cost are leaking.
We move your communication out of fragmented threads and into a centralized system. We stabilize the Time and Cost constraint to provide immediate visibility to the client.
• Establishment of Cost Codes - The Framework for Financial Visibility
• Labor Hour Tracking - Data On Hand for Payroll, Billing and Estimating
• Gantt Chart Establishment - Baseline Schedule based on Relationships, not Static Dates
• Migration of Estimates - Breaking Down Aggregate Numbers into More Useful Detail
-
Install a cadence of meetings and reporting to keep all three constraints visible.
Move from reactive to proactive. We develop and manage Systems and SOPs to ensure Quality standards are met without threatening the Schedule or the Budget.
• Weekly Time Card Audits - Ensure Time Card Data is Correct for not only Payroll, but when you’re ready, to support Billing and Estimating.
• Weekly Gantt Chart and To Do Maintenance - Ensure Gantt Charts and To Do’s are maintained, and become the new Gold Standard for communication with your team.
• Ongoing AR Record Management - Ensure that every dollar spent is recorded and categorized, not only protecting your margins but eventually driving data driven estimating.
-
Refining your machine for maximum margin (Cost) and delivery speed (Time).
We move from ‘making it work’, to ‘plotting a course’. We will use your own Company’s actual data to make better and better decisions.
• Maximizing Revenue Generation - We will use your own historical data from past projects to identify opportunities to increase your margins.
• Minimizing Overhead Expenses - We will use your own historical data to identify areas where we could reduce expense and protect your, as well as your Client’s, cash.
• Data Driven Estimating - Once we have three projects completed within our framework, we will be able to start developing your own suite of rapid estimating tools.
The Economics of Efficiency
The Subcontractor Model
We work hourly, as a 1099 professional resource.
No retainers, no confusing billing structures .
Think of us as you would any other Subcontractor; Services when you need them, no obligations when you don’t.
Produce Margin, Not Overhead
Client Facing work becomes a billable line item that can be marked up and passed through to your Client.
Scaleable Operations Support that generates margin for you; No overhead risk.
Client Reassurance
For even the most wealthy of Clients, high end construction projects often considered a strenuous undertaking.
We often find that builder’s Clients express a sense of reassurance when they see a line item for subcontracted Project Management.
