Finding Profit Leaks in a Custom Home Builder
Havenwood Custom Homes
Challenge:
The owner was pricing builds competitively but constantly felt “tight on cash.” Hidden costs, late vendor invoices, and poor markup tracking were eating into margins.
Solution:
We performed a pricing and margin analysis across 12 recent projects, rebuilt their job costing model, and added monthly forecasting and cash dashboards.
Results:
-
Identified $175K in profit leaks
-
Increased markup accuracy by 9%
-
30-day invoicing turnaround reduced to 7 days
-
Owner now reviews a simple monthly Profit Scoreboard
