Challenge:

BrightCore had strong sales but no visibility into project profitability. Estimates were solid, but actual margins kept coming in low due to untracked change orders and labor overruns.

Solution:

We implemented job-level costing, added change order tracking to QuickBooks, and created a monthly Scoreboard comparing estimated vs. actual margins.

Results:

• 12% improvement in average project margin

• $94K in missed change orders recovered

• Owner reviews profit by project weekly
