Leakage Sources
- Uncoded time / missing job codes$2,180
- Drive time logged to jobs$1,420
- Return visits not attributed$980
- Overtime stacking on overruns$1,840
Recovered Profit Explanation
The $6,420 recoverable monthly figure comes from identified leakage: uncoded or mis-attributed hours ($2,180), drive time incorrectly logged to billable jobs ($1,420), return visits not tied to original job codes ($980), and overtime that stacks on jobs that already overran estimate ($1,840). Addressing these with job-code enforcement, same-day OT visibility, and weekly overrun review captures margin that is currently leaking.
Recommendations (Next 30 Days)
- Require job code to clock in — no job, no start.
- Flag jobs >20% over estimate same-day so foremen can correct before month-end.
- OT approval rule after 45 hrs to prevent stacking on overruns.
- Weekly review: top 5 overruns with tech and foreman.
- Price book adjustment for repeat overruns (e.g. scope or rate).
