Build Daily

Analytics that tells a contractor where the work is slipping

Analytics reads your Build Daily records and shows which leads are going cold, which bids are missing pieces, which jobs are dragging cash or RFIs, which service tickets are testing SLA and billing discipline, where labor is double-booked, and which markets are producing real pursuit value.

The boards are organized around contractor decisions

Executive: Decide What Deserves Attention First

Owners and operators start with the executive board when they need a plain read on the week. It rolls leads, estimates, projects, service, cash, backlog, and manpower into flags a contractor can act on: overdue follow-ups, project red/yellow counts, aging A/R, SLA breaches, and crew conflicts.

  • Compare cash in, A/R, backlog, service backlog, project risk, and manpower capacity
  • Use board checks to see the warning signs before opening department boards
  • Focus the morning meeting on records that can cost money or labor

Executive analytics gives leadership one read across every department.

Leads and geography: protect the pursuit pipeline

Sales and preconstruction teams can see whether open leads are assigned, whether follow-ups are overdue, whether proposals and values are covered, and which regions are producing opportunity. Geography adds market concentration, hot spots, saved views, CSV export, and GeoJSON export for territory planning.

  • Find stale pursuits and unassigned follow-up before the owner goes quiet
  • Separate pipeline value from weighted value and proposal coverage
  • Use hot spots and exports for territory reviews or owner meetings
Lead analytics
Lead analytics is the cleanup list for pursuits that need action.

Estimating: catch the bid that looks busy but is not ready

Estimating analytics looks past a long bid list and asks whether the bid can actually go out: due windows, proposal sent rate, missing takeoff, no price, no proposal, open RFIs, low quote coverage, stuck bidders, and delivery state.

  • Sort bid risk by blocker instead of waiting for the due date
  • See RFP quote rate and vendor response health
  • Keep proposal and bid-letter delivery visible enough to fix
Estimating analytics
Estimating analytics checks whether each bid is ready to go out.

Projects and service: follow the money and the commitments

Project analytics ties job health to adjusted revenue, requisitioned work, paid and open A/R, overdue RFIs, blocked tasks, and the attention map. Service analytics adds the repair and PM side: open tickets, overdue SLAs, dispatch load, billing problems, agreements, PM work coming due, assets, and low stock.

  • Find jobs where drift and A/R are landing in the same place
  • Review service tickets that need dispatch, invoice, PM, or agreement attention
  • Run the management meeting from the board and open the records it points to

Manpower: see conflicts before the field feels them

Manpower analytics reviews roster, presence, scheduled hours, allocation mix, supervisor groups, expiring credentials, and conflicts. The board is built for the question operations asks every week: who is double-booked, who is qualified, and where is the labor plan overloaded?

  • Review scheduled hours by day and assignment type
  • Catch active conflicts and expiring credentials
  • See project, service, estimate, overhead, and unlinked allocation mix

How a contractor uses Analytics during the week

Monday Leadership Review

Start with the executive board, then send each department to the board that explains the number: leads, estimates, projects, service, or manpower.

Midweek Rescue

Use board checks and filters to find the specific problem: overdue lead follow-up, missing proposal, high-risk project, SLA breach, billing gap, or crew conflict.

Market and Backlog Review

Use geography, backlog value, lead value, estimate value, A/R, and project health to decide where the company should chase, staff, or slow down.

From the leadership meeting to department follow-through

1

Read the Executive Board First

Leadership starts with cash, A/R, backlog, project red/yellow counts, SLA breaches, overdue follow-ups, and manpower conflicts to decide which department needs the first conversation.

2

Open the department board behind the flag

A stale pipeline flag goes to Leads, a missing bid flag goes to Estimates, a risk or cash flag goes to Projects, a ticket or billing flag goes to Service, and a double-booking flag goes to Manpower.

3

Use filters and tables to find the record behind the number

The boards have filters, top blockers, needs-attention rows, attention maps, dispatch tables, conflict logs, and hot spot tables so managers can act on actual records.

4

Close the loop in the work module

Analytics points to the problem. The fix still happens in the module: assign the lead, finish the estimate, chase the RFI, invoice the ticket, or move the assignment.

5

Export when the meeting needs a handoff

Where the board supports it, managers can export board data, geographic CSV, or GeoJSON for owner meetings, territory reviews, and offline follow-up.

Analytics work that changes the next move

Owner Morning Meeting

  • Start with the executive board: project criticals, SLA breaches, overdue follow-ups, A/R, backlog, and manpower conflicts.
  • Open the matching department board only for the flag that needs action.
  • Leave the meeting with an owner assigned to each record that needs action.

Preconstruction Cleanup

  • Use Leads to find overdue follow-ups, unassigned pursuits, weak proposal coverage, and missing value.
  • Use Estimates to find missing takeoff, no price, no proposal, RFIs, low quote rate, and stuck bidders.
  • Use Geographic analytics to see whether pursuit value is concentrated in the right markets.

Project and Service Risk Review

  • Use Projects to compare adjusted revenue, requisitioned work, A/R, health, blocked tasks, and overdue RFIs.
  • Use Service to review open tickets, dispatch load, overdue SLAs, billing problems, PM work coming due, and agreement coverage.
  • Decide whether the next move is a PM call, service dispatch change, invoice review, or project controls cleanup.

Crew Capacity Check

  • Use Manpower to see scheduled hours by day, allocation mix, conflicts, presence, roster count, and expiring credentials.
  • Find overlaps before moving people between project, service, estimate, or overhead work.
  • Keep labor planning tied to the same records that created the demand.
