Start with the project that needs a clearer answer.
Tell us what you are seeing, what the project is doing, and where leadership needs more clarity. We’ll use that context to determine the right starting point.
Start a Project Review
Best when one project needs an evidence-backed profitability review.
Book a Consultation
Best when the issue is broader or you are unsure where to begin.
Tell us about the project.
Fast intake · Defined scope · No full upload required
The first conversation is about the problem—not dumping the entire project file.
If a MarginScan is the right fit, MarginSpan will provide a defined intake and document request so the evidence set stays controlled and relevant.
Your contracts are not casual attachments.
You do not need to send contracts or job-cost files to start a conversation. When a project review proceeds, signed engagement terms and our available mutual NDA define how confidential records are accessed, used, and returned or deleted.
The inquiry form does not require contracts, billing reports, payroll detail, or a complete project archive. We'll identify the minimum records needed after we understand the assignment.
Project records are kept separate by client. Authorized personnel and approved service providers receive only the access needed for the engagement. Role-based controls, multifactor authentication, approved transfer channels, and confidentiality obligations protect the records.
MarginSpan offers a mutual NDA for confidential discussions and records. Clients may request return or deletion of active copies in accordance with their signed agreement. Required legal or archival records and residual backups remain protected and are handled under the agreement's retention limits.
NO FILES NEEDED TO START · MUTUAL NDA AVAILABLE · AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY · RETURN OR DELETION UNDER SIGNED TERMS
Clear answers before you send the project.
MarginSpan is designed to be precise about what the review does, what the evidence can support, and where professional boundaries remain.
What is MarginScan?
MarginScan is a structured Project Profitability Review for one construction project. It connects the commercial and financial record, surfaces material conditions affecting margin, quantifies exposure where the math is supportable, and prioritizes management action.
Is MarginSpan software?
No. MarginSpan is a construction profit intelligence service. Our proprietary system supports organization, extraction, comparison, and analysis, but the client-facing work is professionally reviewed—not a self-serve software score.
What records do you typically need?
The exact request depends on the project, but the review may include contracts, scope documents, estimates, budgets, change records, commitments, invoices, billing, job-cost information, schedules, field records, correspondence, and current forecasts.
Do my project records need to be perfect?
No. Incomplete or inconsistent records can themselves be relevant to the review. MarginSpan separates verified facts from hypotheses and limits conclusions to what the available evidence can support.
Do you guarantee recovered profit?
No. MarginSpan identifies evidence-backed conditions, financial exposure, and potential management actions. Actual recovery or improvement depends on the facts, contracts, timing, decisions, counterparties, and execution.
What does a MarginScan cost, and how long does it take?
A standard MarginScan is typically about $2,500 for one defined project. The first five eligible founding clients can receive the limited $1,950 introductory offer. Express reviews are narrower, issue-specific engagements typically quoted around $750–$1,250; they are not full MarginScans. The standard turnaround target is about five business days after complete intake, subject to scope and record readiness. Complex projects are quoted separately.
Can I see what a MarginScan output looks like?
Yes. The MarginScan page includes an illustrative sample showing the structure of findings, financial impact, evidence, and priority actions. VIEW ILLUSTRATIVE OUTPUT →
How do you handle confidential project records?
You do not need to send project files with your initial inquiry. MarginSpan's current client agreements cover confidentiality, authorized access, approved transfer methods, and project-specific handling. A mutual NDA is available before confidential information is shared. Client records remain owned by the client; verified requests for return or deletion are handled under the signed agreement, including any applicable legal-hold, archival, and backup-retention exceptions.
Can we start with just one project?
Yes. That is the preferred starting point. One defined project creates a clear review boundary and gives leadership a concrete basis for deciding whether deeper support makes sense.
