The Contractor's Business Blueprint - Printed Manual

MAIN VOLUME — THE CONTRACTOR’S BUSINESS BLUEPRINT

Many contractors know how to build—but still lose money, lose control of the site or discover too late that the price, programme and contract were wrong from the start.

The Contractor’s Business Blueprint is the main volume in The Contractor’s Control Toolbox. It is written for builders, contractors, foremen, emerging construction businesses and experienced tradespeople who want to move from informal site survival to structured professional control.

The manual deals with the business realities behind the building work: deposits, startup spending, quotations, tender documents, specifications, BOQs, labour productivity, subcontractor scope, material control, cash flow, progress claims, variations, retention, defects liability and project close-out.

It also examines what happens when a project is already losing money—and how to stop, assess the damage and reset the job before the situation becomes worse.

This is not motivational theory. It is a practical construction-business control manual developed from nearly forty years of experience in the industry and approximately twenty years of refining checklists, holding points and site-control systems.

Use it in the office when preparing a quotation, in meetings when clarifying responsibility, and on site when cost, quality, labour and programme decisions start affecting one another.
