Free tool for construction businesses · See your real margins in 10 minutes
Most construction businesses under 30 people cannot answer that question. Revenue is up, the crew is busy, but profit is still a guess.
Most construction companies are busy but still guessing their profit.
The calculator shows your real margin — job by job.
Stop guessing why the bank account feels tight after busy months.
Helping construction companies in Alberta improve job costing, profitability, estimating accuracy, and operational systems.
The problem
These are the patterns behind construction companies that are busy but not as profitable as they should be.
01
Your accountant gives you the annual number. By then, months of margin-destroying jobs are already behind you.
02
Volume looks good. The phone is busy. But without job-level costing, you do not know which work actually pays.
03
Late invoicing, missed change orders, and payroll decisions based on cash in the bank instead of real numbers.
Busy jobs do not always mean profitable jobs.

WHAT I DO
The calculator shows you where your margin is going. But it does not fix the estimating process, the invoicing delays, the missed change orders, or the fact that everything in your business still runs through you.
I am not a coach. I do not sell monthly calls. I come in, figure out what is broken, fix it with you, and leave you with systems your team actually uses.
I map how jobs actually move through your business — from estimate to final invoice.
Clear role definitions, documented processes, and operational decision-making rules.
I install the systems, train your team, and make sure the new way of working actually runs.
You get a documented operating system your team owns — so the business depends less on you.
