Financial Clarity for
Construction Companies
I run a $70M+ multi-state exterior construction company. These are the exact tools I use every day — made simple enough for any contractor, GC, or trade to use in 5 minutes.
Construction-Specific Challenges We Solve
Every challenge below comes from running real jobs with real crews and real payroll. Each one links to a free tool that addresses it.
Cash Flow Gaps Kill Contractors
You pay crews, buy materials, and rent equipment weeks before the customer pays. One slow payment and you're scrambling for payroll. A 13-week cash forecast turns panic into planning.
Job Costing Is a Guessing Game
Most contractors know their total revenue and total costs — but can't tell you margin by job type, by crew, or by customer. That's where money leaks and you don't even know it.
Pricing Based on 'What the Market Will Bear'
Translation: you're guessing. A 35% markup is not a 35% margin — and that confusion costs the average contractor $100K+ per year in underpriced work.
Growing Into Bankruptcy
More jobs = more cash out the door before you collect. The most dangerous moment for a contractor is winning too much work without the cash to float it.
Hiring Without the Math
A $65K project manager actually costs $95K in year one after benefits, truck, phone, training, and ramp time. Make sure you can afford the hire before you make the offer.
No CFO — No Strategic Direction
Most contractors under $50M don't have a CFO. They have a bookkeeper, maybe a controller. That means nobody is looking forward — just closing the books and hoping.
Built by Someone in the Trenches
I'm not a consultant who “advises” construction companies. I run one. CHE Companies does exterior construction across NC, SC, and VA — roofing, siding, gutters, windows, commercial. We manage crews, deal with weather delays, fight for collections, and make payroll every Friday.
Every tool on this platform exists because I needed it first. The cash flow forecaster was built when I almost missed a materials payment. The margin analyzer found a service line losing money that I thought was profitable. The AI advisor answers the questions I used to stay up at night worrying about.
