SERVICES

Start with one project. Scale the intelligence.

MarginSpan’s service model is designed to meet a contractor where the problem starts: one project, one set of records, one need for clarity. From there, the work can expand into advisory, recurring monitoring, recovery support, and portfolio-level operating intelligence.

MONITOR Recurring visibility

STANDARDIZE Portfolio controls

THE SERVICE LADDER

Choose the level of support the project actually needs.

The entry point stays focused. Broader support is added only when the evidence shows it can create measurable value.

DEFINED DIAGNOSTIC ONE PROJECT • ONE REVIEW

MarginScan

A defined Project Profitability Review for one construction project. MarginScan organizes the commercial and financial record, surfaces evidence-backed findings, quantifies defensible exposure, and creates a prioritized action plan.

Standard MarginScan is $2,500 for one defined project when its records, review period and data volume qualify. Complex reviews are $4,500 when bounded; larger or unusual engagements are custom scoped. Limited founding and Express options may be available. Final fees and timing are confirmed before work.

LEADERSHIP SUPPORT POST-DIAGNOSTIC

Margin Advisory

Focused support after the diagnostic. MarginSpan works with leadership to interpret findings, assess options, sequence actions, clarify ownership, and improve the commercial or operating decisions affecting profitability.

BEST WHEN Findings require decisions, ownership, or execution support. ACT ON FINDINGS →

RECURRING OVERSIGHT ACTIVE PROJECTS

Margin Monitoring

Recurring review designed to catch developing margin conditions earlier. Monitoring creates a repeatable rhythm around project evidence, unresolved commercial items, forecast movement, and management follow-through.

BEST WHEN Recurring visibility can prevent small conditions from hardening into losses. CREATE A RHYTHM →

TARGETED RECOVERY REVENUE EXPOSURE

Revenue Recovery

Focused review of documented revenue conditions where earned value may be trapped, delayed, missed, or unsupported. The objective is to identify supportable opportunities before commercial leverage or billing position disappears.

BEST WHEN Change, billing, or scope conditions are putting earned revenue at risk. PROTECT REVENUE →

PORTFOLIO + OPERATIONS MULTI-PROJECT / BUSINESS

Operations / Enterprise Advisory

Portfolio-level work for organizations ready to improve how margin is protected across projects. This can include standardized review logic, management cadence, operating controls, KPI design, project governance, and recurring profitability intelligence.

BEST WHEN The review model should operate across teams, projects, or the business. STANDARDIZE THE MODEL →

HOW ENGAGEMENTS EXPAND

Diagnostic first. Deeper support only when it earns its place.

MarginSpan is not built around forcing every client into a large consulting engagement. The preferred entry point is a defined problem with a measurable review boundary. If the evidence shows broader operating value, the relationship can scale.

PROVE VALUE Start with one project. Establish a clear review objective and measure what the evidence shows.

ACT ON FINDINGS Support the decisions. Add advisory only where recovery, ownership, or management action needs support.

CREATE A RHYTHM Review before margin moves. Move to monitoring when recurring visibility creates measurable value.

STANDARDIZE Scale what works. Expand to enterprise or operations work when the model should operate across the business.

WHAT STAYS CONSTANT

Evidence, defensible math, and professional judgment.

The service level can change. The operating standard does not. MarginSpan’s work distinguishes verified facts from hypotheses, calculations from estimates, and actionable conditions from noise.

CONSTRUCTION-NATIVE The work is structured around how projects are estimated, bought out, billed, changed, managed, forecasted, and closed.

PROFESSIONALLY REVIEWED Our proprietary profit intelligence system supports speed and structure; client-facing conclusions remain professionally reviewed.

DECISION-FIRST The goal is not a larger report. It is a clearer decision and a better financial outcome.

SPECIALIZED PROJECT REVIEWS

Start with the problem the project is actually showing you.

MarginSpan can enter at different points in the project lifecycle. Each review follows the same principle: connect the commercial, financial, and operating record before margin loss becomes permanent.

PROJECT FINANCIAL REVIEW When leadership needs one complete profitability picture. →

AT-RISK PROJECT REVIEW When margin is slipping and the cause is not clear enough. →

CHANGE ORDER REVIEW When scope, pricing, approval, billing, and recovery are no longer aligned. →

COST-TO-COMPLETE REVIEW When the current forecast needs to be tested against what remains. →

CLOSEOUT FINANCIAL REVIEW When unresolved revenue and cost exposure need attention before closeout. →

START WHERE THE EVIDENCE IS

One project is enough to begin.

Use MarginScan to establish the facts, then decide whether advisory, monitoring, recovery, or enterprise support makes sense.
