Stop Letting Data Suck Profit - Fix It This Thursday.

“Chris, construction executives are practical. Silos, inefficiencies, insights… I get it conceptually. But what do you actually mean?! What does this mean for me???”
Tough love. Deserved.
Today we move from the conceptual to the real.
'Punch to the nose' real.
The Problems are Real, and So are The Opportunities
The problems you face are opportunities in disguise.
Every operational bottleneck has a cost. But what if eliminating it also unlocked new potential for growth?
Eliminate the problem - the operation improves. The P&L improves.
That is the game we're aiming to play here. Helping construction leader improve their business. Improve it in a 'see it in bottom line' way.
"Data silos", "process chokepoints" and "lack of insights" are all ways that operational data is trapped.
Technology working against you. Your team working overtime to make it all work.
What does "trapped data" really mean?
It means:
Manual Data Entry: hours wasted every week entering the same data into multiple systems.
Billing Delays: gathering data taking longer than it should, slowing cash flow.
Compliance Errors: mistakes dealing with complex union rates and state rules can leading to costly rework and fines.
Lack of Real-Time Awareness: compromised decision-making without timely insights into project activity: crew size, overtime, change orders, etc.
Your trapped data sucks - as in sucks profit.
Every minute your team spends entering the same information into multiple systems or chasing down missing insights is money lost—and profit drained.
The good news story here is that you can make the real problems go away.
As the problems go away, so do the profit leaks.
Improved operations. Improved bottom line.
Improved construction company.
There is a saying...
“The most important thing is to be sure that the most important thing is the most important thing.”
Most technology initiatives feel like more effort than they’re worth. But when the focus is on improving your business—saving time, cutting costs, and empowering your team—the technology fades into the background - and results take center stage.
The complexity and the noise fade into the background.
What does it look like when results take center stage?
How Small Fixes Deliver Big Results
Over the past two years, we've streamlined a ton of data flow from finance platforms to field solutions and back again.
Here is a typical (conservative) scenario:
Eliminate Manual Data Entry: 8 hours per week
Reduce Errors: 2 hours per week
Accelerate Processes & Reallocate Human Capital: estimated business impact $200 per week
Improved Access to Insights: $50 per week per project
Based on an rate of $25 per hour and an average of 40 concurrent projects, the benefits of data-powered business improvements is $130,000 per year with this client.
The investment to arrive at the successful business outcome?
About $25,000. This was a 5X return on their investment.
We see this. All. The. Time.
But every day you wait, those same bottlenecks continue to cost you time, money, and opportunities. Imagine what your team could accomplish without these frustrations holding them back.
If You Could Turn $1 Into $2… or $5…
What would you do? Dismiss it out of hand?
If it were feasible to achieve those kinds of results in your business, would it be worth looking into?
Maybe just 30 minutes?
Show up this Thursday and do your own math.
We're running a hands-on workshop where you have the opportunity to put pencil to paper and see if it makes sense to get rid your technology headaches, chokepoints, and challenges.
Or you could just keep doing the same thing...
See you Thursday!
