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
