360 Operations Management Diagnostic

A complete review of your construction business, from the office to the jobsites: a structured questionnaire and analysis of every department — bidding, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, invoicing and per-project profitability. The engagement includes at least 8 hours of on-site analysis and, when needed, travel anywhere in Québec. You receive an observation report with a summary and concrete solutions for every issue identified.

Starting at $2,500

Prices in Canadian dollars, before taxes (GST/QST extra).

Scope

What the diagnostic covers

The diagnostic reviews every link in your value chain, from the first bid to final collection.

Bidding and estimation

Your pricing methods, margin consistency, and how you account for contingencies and change orders.

Jobsite scheduling

Timelines, work sequencing, and whether your deadlines are realistic given your actual resources.

Subcontractor coordination

Selecting, supervising and following up with your subcontractors: who does what, and who checks.

Invoicing and receivables

Progress billing, follow-ups, holdbacks and your real collection timelines.

Per-project profitability

Tracking actuals against estimates, project by project: do you know which ones really make you money?

Office administration

How your office runs: roles, tools, filing, and how smoothly information flows between the office and the field.

Who it's for

Is this for you?

The diagnostic is relevant if you recognize at least one of these situations:

  • Your order book is full, but your cash flow stays tight.
  • Too many decisions rest on one person: you.
  • Your processes are neither documented nor followed the same way by everyone.
  • Your business is growing, but your structure hasn't kept up.

FAQ

Questions about the diagnostic

How long does the engagement take?

Plan for at least 8 hours of analysis inside your business, scheduled around your availability, plus report writing time. The exact timeline is agreed at the scoping meeting.

Do we need to stop work during the diagnostic?

No. The analysis runs alongside your operations, at the office and on the jobsites, without interrupting your crews. Travel anywhere in Québec is possible when needed.

What happens after the report?

You leave with concrete, prioritized solutions. If you want help implementing them, part-time operations leadership or specific hourly mandates can take over.

Is the diagnostic right for a small team?

Yes. The questionnaire and analysis adapt to your company's size, from a crew of a few employees to an SME with dozens of people.
