The margin maths

One missed variation costs more than you think.

Small residential builders don't lose margin on site. They lose it in the paperwork. Drag the sliders — this is what one missed notice does to your year.

New revenue needed to earn the profit back
$300,000

That's the scope done, the money gone — and $300,000 of new work just to stand still.

Where the money actually leaks

A

Variations missed or issued late

Falling outside the contractual time bar — meaning the scope is done but the money is gone.

B

Claims go out underdocumented

Giving the superintendent a reason to certify less than what's owed.

C

EOT notices aren't lodged on time

Leaving you exposed to LDs even when delays weren't your fault.

D

Disputes without a paper trail

Disputes escalate because the paper trail isn't there when you need it — not because the work wasn't done.

The problem isn't the work. It's that the admin system can't keep up with the contract.
