Stop losing profit on jobs because no one is tracking the work
Field-first support for small contractors in the Sacramento area: production tracking, trucking cost review, and job cost awareness while the job is actually running.
What I help you with on active jobs
Production Tracking
Daily production tracking so you know if crews are hitting target quantities and hours. Simple counts, hours, and notes you can actually use.
Trucking Cost Review
Look at your trucking: loads, wait time, haul distances, and wasted trips. Find where trucks are burning money instead of moving dirt.
Job Cost Awareness
Tie together labor, equipment, material, and trucking so you can see if the job is making or losing money before it's too late.
Most contractors don't lose money because they can't build
A lot of small contractors in the Sacramento area do solid work in the field. The problem isn't building the job – it's that no one is tracking the job properly while it is active.
Production, trucking, labor, equipment, and material get scattered across tickets, texts, and memory. By the time you see the numbers, the job is already over and the profit is gone.
I focus on field tracking, trucking efficiency, production rates, and cost visibility so you can see problems early and make changes while you're still on site.
How it works
Quick conversation
You tell me about your work, crews, and current jobs in the Sacramento area.
Set up simple tracking
We agree on what to track: production quantities, trucking, hours, and key costs. Keep it simple so it actually gets done.
Regular check-ins
I review the numbers, flag problems, and give you clear feedback so you know where money is being made or lost.
Real Result
$45,000 Recovered
Identified a trucking inefficiency on a paving project and recovered approximately $45,000 by correcting cycle time assumptions and reducing standby time.
Small inefficiencies like this happen on many jobs and often go unnoticed until the job is already losing money.

About
I'm a Construction Engineer working on heavy civil projects in Northern California, including concrete structures, levee systems, and paving operations. My work focuses on production tracking, trucking coordination, and cost awareness during active construction.
I've seen how small issues—especially in trucking and production—can quietly reduce profit on a job. On one project, identifying and correcting a trucking issue helped recover approximately $15,000.
This service is built to help smaller contractors apply the same level of tracking and awareness without needing a full office team. The goal is simple: track the job properly, catch problems early, and protect the margin.
Who This Is For
Small grading contractors
Managing equipment, crews, and material costs on active grading projects.
Paving contractors
Running paving operations where cycle time and trucking efficiency directly affect the bottom line.
Concrete contractors
Tracking labor and material on concrete structure and foundation work.
Owner-operators / Specialized sub-contractors
Running active jobs and need better tracking without a full office team.
This is built for teams that are already doing the work but need better tracking and cost awareness to protect their margins.
