Subcontractor Chaos
You spent a week chasing down three different HVAC subs for a tenant fit-out. One is unresponsive, another's insurance is expired, and the third is already overbooked. The project is delayed before it even starts.
Change Order Hell
The client requested a revised floor plan. That email turned into a dozen back-and-forths, a hunt for the latest drawings, and a week of delays just to get the change order approved and communicated to the field.
Bidding Wars & Lost Margins
You lost a multi-million dollar bid by a razor-thin margin. You know you could have won it with a slightly sharper pencil, but you were too busy managing existing projects to spend enough time on the estimate.
Cash Flow Crunches
You're waiting on a six-figure payment from a client for a job you completed 60 days ago. Meanwhile, you have payroll to meet and suppliers to pay. The bank is calling, and you're shuffling funds to stay afloat.
AGENT SPOTLIGHT
