An estimated 30% to 40% of construction projects leak money, but the root cause is rarely a flawed initial estimate. In this episode of The Morning Jolt, the team at Accountability Now breaks down how job profitability erodes mid-project due to scope creep, uncaptured field changes, and slow change order management. Learn how daily 15-minute field logs, weekly Friday cost reviews, 48-hour change order submissions, and role-based accountability plug financial drains and protect project margins.Key Topics Covered
