    I love listening to Eric as a leader in construction. I was taken back listening to Matt. The parent to child relationship between buyer and seller is something I’ve never been able to recognize until now. Game changer.

Construction Projections: Seeing Cash and Margin Trouble Before It Costs You
Q: What are the best practices for creating reliable forecasts?
Maintain a strong, flexible timeline, understand how far along each job will be at key points, and update projections monthly (quarterly minimum) to keep accuracy and usefulness.
Construction Projections: Seeing Cash and Margin Trouble Before It Costs You
Q: Who should own the projection process in a construction company?
The CFO should own it, though owners who are highly involved can do it; the key is having someone with the right skill set to manage month-by-month projections.
Construction Projections: Seeing Cash and Margin Trouble Before It Costs You
Q: First question, what are projections and how do they connect to the whip and the backlog?
Projections extend the backlog and whip into multiple time frames so you can see where revenue, cash flow, and staffing are headed beyond the current snapshot.
How to Grow Bonding Capacity: Banking and Tax Moves for Contractors
Q: What is the first step a contractor should take to align the three financial stakeholders?
Develop a clear vision with specific goals and a timeline, then bring the bank, bonding agent, and tax advisor into a single room to discuss how to achieve those objectives.
How MEP Contractors Make Money With Prefab
Q: How should a contractor start with prefab to avoid costly mistakes?
Begin small, pick a suitable portion of the process for prefabrication, hire a prefab coordinator to align owners, GC, and engineers, and build a prefab strategy early in design development to determine what can be standardized.
