PLUMBING: THE ROUGH-IN CASH HOLE

The canyon between plumbing's two spending humps: underground and rough-in consume labor and pipe early, the trade demobilizes while the building closes up, and trim-out returns months later to collect final payment behind punch and retainage. Phase-weighted schedules of values, with rough-in billed at rough-in weight and trim-out as a separate remobilization, are the fix.

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.
