Where a construction company loses money without noticing
Most construction companies run each site on its own Excel file, a WhatsApp group and the site manager's memory. The estimate lives in one file, purchases in another, and nobody sees how far a project has drifted from its budget until it is finished. By then the margin is already gone.
- Materials bought for one site and used on another, with no record
- Workers' hours counted at the end of the month, not per site
- Progress bills prepared by hand, weeks after the work was done
- Subcontractors paid without checking what they actually delivered
- No answer to the simple question: is this project making money?
