PLUMBING: FIXTURE ALLOWANCES AND THE BACK-CHARGE TRAP

Late selections compress the schedule, substitutions shift cost silently, and the reconciliation happens at closeout when leverage is gone. Put selection deadlines with schedule consequences in the contract, reconcile the allowance in writing as each selection lands, and price every substitution delta as a change order.

Three tiers, and which one you are in depends on how much of the work you want off your desk. Core is where you stop guessing: job costing built against the way you estimate, a 13 week cash forecast, monthly WIP, and a monthly meeting that ends in decisions, while your bookkeeper keeps doing the books. Executive is where you stop touching the books, because we run the bookkeeping and the controllership as well. Strategic is where every job shows its margin while it is still running, because the job costing and WIP platform is set up and managed for you. No payroll. No scope gaps.

Sixty days. We migrate your books back to the start of your last taxable year, set up ControlQore, and build your job costing structure from scratch. Fully operational in two months.
