Richard, CEO of ProCalc, details the financial drain of information asymmetry in the residential building market. Data from over 50,000 projects reveals that 93 percent of contractors lose four weeks annually pricing jobs they do not win.
He explains the collaborative estimating mechanism used to test a client’s budget upfront. This process identifies the one in five prospects capable of funding your work in the first hour of engagement.
The episode covers the operational math behind gross profit margins. Richard outlines how operating below 20 percent leaves zero capital for overhead. He shares how a 10 thousand dollar catered handover event generates highly qualified leads from past and future clients.

Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.
