Know your margin on every house, every month.
The Custom Builder's Margin Playbook is our field guide to seeing profit while the house is still being built, not after it closes.
What is inside
- How to set up a budget by cost code that your books can actually follow
- Where margin quietly leaks: unbilled changes, allowances and coding drift
- A simple monthly routine for budget vs actual on every open house
- How WIP, draws and cash fit together when you carry several homes
- What a clean month-end close looks like for a builder
Who it is for: Owner-led custom and spec builders who want a clearer read on profit by house. Example numbers in the guide are illustrative, not client data.
