The Commercial Control Masterclass™
Know What Every Job Is Really Making — Before It’s Too Late to Act
A free live masterclass for growing contractors and subcontractors who want earlier visibility over job margin, variations and cash, without drowning in spreadsheets or building a full commercial department.
Free live webinar
Earlier visibility. Better commercial decisions.
Know what every job is expected to make—and spot the commercial problems threatening margin and cash before it’s too late to act.
Live online. Approximately 60 minutes plus Q&A. Register to see available dates.
Too big to run the commercial side on spreadsheets and instinct. Too small to justify a full commercial department.
Why now
Your business has grown. Have your commercial controls kept up?
Growth brings more jobs, more people, more suppliers, more variations, more applications and more cash moving through the business. Eventually, the question becomes: what is every live job actually expected to make?
If answering that means opening several spreadsheets, checking the accounts, speaking to project managers and piecing the answer together yourself, your business may have outgrown the way it manages the commercial side.
The Five Commercial Questions™
Can you confidently answer these five questions?
- What is every job expected to make?
- What’s changed since our last review?
- What are we owed?
- What cash do we need?
- What needs action now?
