Automation Blueprint Prepared for Net-Zero Engineering

What I heard, and what I would do about it

From a job cost you trust about 80%,
to a margin per job you can set prices on.

You told me $10 million by the end of 2028, with the systems in place before the hiring, and that a cost picture you put at about 80% right is not enough to decide on.

What I heard from you

The work is sold

  • About $2.6 million of open contracts, full until June, with six people going to seven.
  • Next year’s contracting revenue is on track for $3.2 to $3.3 million.

Costs don’t tie to budgets

  • An expense can’t be assigned to a budget line, so you can’t say how much of a job’s spend is materials or rental equipment.
  • Checking QuickBooks bills against your project tracker on one project turned up a $28,000 difference.

Card spend never reaches the job

  • Fuel, parts and supplies on company cards run about $15,000 to $25,000 a month, and you think about half belongs on jobs.
  • It is booked as operating cost, so it never reaches a job’s gross margin, and you suspect real margins are lower than they look.

Everything runs through you

  • About half your time goes to the back office, including choosing each week which suppliers get paid.
  • You want each foreman to see hours against budget during the week and correct course on their own.

Your systems stay. We build the layer that reads them together.

QuickBooks stays your books, and your accountant still finishes every invoice. Harvest and Microsoft 365 stay where your team works. We read from all three and put each job’s budget, bills, card spend and hours on one page.

The shape of it

First week

One hour a week with you or someone you choose. We take read-only access and do the digging. You prepare nothing.

First month

You and your team follow one real job from purchase order to final invoice and see where its costs go missing. Your operations manager and accountant are in the room, and the cost codes are drafted with your accountant so they hold at $10 million.

Months 1 to 3

A first working view on a phone: each job’s budget against hours, bills and card spend, for you, your operations manager and your foremen.

Exact scope lands in the Blueprint.

What’s proposed

This scopes one process: how a contract job’s money is tracked from purchase order to final invoice in your contracting company, the work your operations manager and accountant carry today. That is why it is $5,000 and 10 weeks instead of a company wide engagement. We take read-only access to QuickBooks, Harvest and Microsoft 365, and nothing in them is changed. If you want another part of the business mapped later, that scopes on its own.

Automation Blueprint

$5,000USD · 10 weeks

One written Blueprint: where job costs go missing, what each gap costs, the build order, and a price on each piece.

Payment: 50% to start, 50% on delivery. Valid until December 10, 2026.

Yours to use any way you choose

Build it with us, hire someone else, or build it in house. The Blueprint is written so any of the three can run from it.

On $3.2 to $3.3 million of contracts, the gap between a 15% and a 25% margin is $320,000 to $330,000 a year. You asked which one you are.
