The Admin Tax

What General Contractors lose to admin every week

01
After a walk-through of the Kim kitchen remodel with the electrician, plumber, and cabinet installer

Sub coordination lives in 4 different text threads

The electrician can't rough-in until the plumber moves the gas line, cabinets arrive March 12 but the installer is booked until March 18, and you told Mrs. Kim the kitchen would be done by April 1. You're tracking these dependencies in your head and three separate text chains.

1 scheduling conflict per project causing 3-5 day delays on average
02
When the Fernandez family asks for a progress update on their $85,000 addition

Budget tracking lags weeks behind spending

Framing came in $2,200 over estimate due to lumber prices, permit fees were $400 higher than quoted, and you haven't updated the budget spreadsheet since the foundation pour. The Fernandezes think they're on budget while costs spiral.

Average $3,500 in cost overruns discovered too late to adjust scope

03
Wednesday morning with 3 active projects and a new estimate request

Change orders tracked on scraps of paper

The Kims want quartz countertops ($2,800 difference), the Fernandezes added a bathroom fan ($450), and the Nguyens changed flooring. You wrote two of these on drywall dust-covered sticky notes that are now illegible.

$1,200/month in change orders that never get formally documented or billed

04
After paying the framing crew $6,400 and the concrete sub $3,200 this week

Subcontractor payments hard to reconcile

You paid 4 subs across 3 projects: cash for day labor, checks for framers, Zelle for the electrician. Matching payments to projects for your accountant means cross-referencing your bank app with your memory of who worked where.

5+ hours per month on payment reconciliation

I was losing about $1,500 a month in unbilled change orders because I forgot to write them down on site. Christine captures every request via voice note and generates the invoice doc before I leave the driveway.
