Fix the Information Flow in Your Construction Business

And that's what I want to talk about today is like, how do we solve this thing? We've done some episodes last few weeks on leverage and these contractors that are one man band, or they don't have a team, or even if they do have a team, They never seem to get on top of their books, no matter what.

Even if they got the best contractor, they got a $100,000 controller or more.

So this episode, I'm hoping to walk through some of the places where this information gets stuck

and what you can do about it.

And bring it on.

I agree with you.

I don't always know where my books stand.

And it's frustrating because I got to build this job.

I got so many things I've got to do and worry about.

And you would think I've got my accounting folks and I've got you.

And you want me to spend more money on more accounting when I already pay them to do their job.

So somebody's not doing their job.

I need to choose some butt because somebody's not doing their job.

But at the same time, I know I've got to have that.

And I know that if I can figure out how to smooth things over, at least this part of my construction business will run smoothly, right? Some of the things

I hear from you is that you don't know what that receipt was.

And, you know, it's like, okay, it was six weeks ago and you don't remember.

When we don't know where our receipt is, Wade, it just sits there until somebody figures it out.

I ain't got time to figure it out.

Where is that receipt? It's supposed to be electronic, all right? And they're supposed to sign a number to that project so it ties the receipt to it.

But it's not done.

Hey, my project manager had a stack of receipts that thick stuck up in the bioservice truck.

I was like, what the hell? You know, we've got to pay these things, don't you? And we've got to bill the customer.

Hey, just idiots.

I don't know.
