Three checks you can run this week

Each job keeps its own numbers, so nobody holds the quarter in one view. That's how two starts land in the same month, and how a good job gets passed on. These three checks need a pencil and your job list.

In a 2026 survey of 250 commercial construction firms with $5M to $50M in revenue, 9 in 10 said they had passed on a profitable job because of cash timing.

Crews booked twice

Write down each crew's weeks for the next 13 weeks, across every job. Any week that shows up twice is a clash you can still move.

In the setS-03, the crew-clash checker.

Cash flow that shows up late

For each week, write two numbers: what you expect to bill and what you expect to pay out. The weeks where payouts run ahead are the ones to plan for.

In the setS-01, the 13-week look-ahead.

The Monday report that eats a day

Count the hours last week's report took, and who pulled which number by hand. That list is where the day goes.

In the setS-02, the Monday report template.

Here is what all three look like on one page.

How to read thirteen weeks at once

This is the sample page that comes with the set. The jobs are made up. The layout is the one we build.

  1. 1Top rows: one row per crew, one bar per job. Two bars in one week is a clash.
  2. 2Left to bill: what each week still has to bring in.
  3. 3Left to pay out: what each week still has to cover. Where the two lines pinch, cash is tight.

What it's for

Calls you can still make: move a start, bring a billing forward, or talk to the bank before you need to. And a straight answer to "can we take this job?"

How a 13-week cash flow and crew schedule gets built

We build this page from your own jobs, in the tools your office already runs. Nothing new to install. Each step has a sheet in the set, so you can start it yourself.

  1. 1

    Find where every number lives.

    We list where billing, costs and crew schedules sit today, and who pulls each one by hand.

  2. 2

    Join the jobs into one view.

    Billing, costs and crews from every job, laid out by week for next quarter. You see a first version early and mark it up.

  3. 3

    Read it together on Monday.

    The people who run the Monday report read the page as a group, and it changes until it answers their questions.

Where the sheets come from

We built this page twice last year for Triangle contractors. Everything they needed already sat in Procore, QuickBooks and a schedule. Nobody had joined it up. The Monday set is how we lay that work out, on blank sheets.
