CONSTRUCTION PROFIT INTELLIGENCE

Know where your project margin is going.

Before it becomes hindsight.

We trace changes, costs, and billing.

MarginSpan is a founder-led construction profit intelligence firm. We connect contracts, job cost, change orders, billing, commitments, forecasts, and field evidence to surface margin leakage and profitability risk before those conditions become permanent.

MARGINSCAN

Start with a MarginScan.

We reconstruct the financial story of the project from the records that drive it—then isolate the issues eroding margin and rank what needs attention first.

Revenue exposure

Missed billing, unpriced scope and change-order gaps.

Cost pressure

Labor, buyout, productivity and forecast risk.

Priority actions

Verified findings ranked by financial impact.

RECONCILIATION NOTE / ILLUSTRATIVE

$87,400 pending COs + $41,200 buyout = $128,600 combined face value

5.4 margin points × $2,840,000 contract base = $153,360 implied forecast movement

The $24,760 difference is not an additional verified finding. It remains an illustrative forecast bridge to reconcile with labor rates, cost-to-complete assumptions, and the project record before any dollar claim is made.

The change order exists. Is it billable?

The field report documents changed work. An RFI clarifies scope. The change log carries $87,400 in pending proposals. The billing record still needs approval. Open the example files and follow the decision.
