We help get your time back and make you more money. We guarantee it.
Most builders are drowning in the details of profit recovery — chasing down change orders, second-guessing invoices, trying to figure out where the margin went after a job closes. It's relentless, it's expensive in time, and most of it still doesn't catch what's leaking. That's not a failure of effort. It's a failure of systems.
We take that entirely off your plate. Our team runs the forensics, finds the money, and gives you a clear roadmap. You keep the cash. You keep your team focused on building. We handle the complexity — and we stay with you to make sure the recovery sticks.
Phase 1
Forensic Analysis
Our AI-powered engine hunts every transaction across your projects for hidden margin erosion. We analyze variations, supplier invoices, labor entries, and contract terms — finding the gaps your current systems were never built to see.
Your dedicated BuilderLogix advisor then synthesizes the raw data into a clear, prioritized recovery report — ranked by dollar value, highest-return fixes first. No data science background required on your end.
What you get:
We show you exactly where the money went — down to the specific change orders, supplier overages, and labor misalignments your system wasn't designed to catch.
Phase 2
Daily Monitoring
We review your accounting system every single day — tracking every transaction, flagging cost overruns, and surfacing issues before they compound. When something doesn't align with your budget, you'll see it on your dashboard first thing in the morning.
Most builders catch problems weeks after the fact, when it's too late to recover the cost. We catch them overnight, while you still have leverage.
Real example:
A plumbing rough-in draw posts at $8,200 when your budget was $7,500. We catch it overnight. You decide — approve, negotiate, or investigate — before the next draw.
Phase 3
Systems & Support
We work directly with your team to integrate our documentation, processes, and controls into your daily workflow. Chart of accounts restructured. Subcontractor agreements hardened. Approval workflows tightened. The fixes don't just hold — they compound.
You're never managing this alone. A senior advisor is available when you need to think something through — a pricing call, a contract dispute, a margin miss you don't understand yet.
Included every month
·Quarterly margin reviews & strategy sessions
·Template library & contract best practices

Phase 4
Ongoing CFO Support
We work directly with you to stress-test your financial strength, evaluate your borrowing processes, and identify practical ways to bolster cash flow — so you're building from a position of strength, not scrambling for your next draw.
Large land purchases, take-down schedules, and major capital commitments — we help you evaluate every decision that can make or break long-term profitability.

From the founder
Why I built this — and what we actually do about it.
I've seen too many of my builder friends fail or stumble. I looked at why, and developed a system that prevents them from making the same mistake. Let me show you how we can improve your bottom line.

The reality
If you're doing $12M in revenue, you're likely leaving up to $1M per year on the table. Want to know what you're leaving on the table?
Many builders lose more to leakage than they make on the job. We can identify your leakage through a comprehensive review of your financials, comparing it to competitors and industry standards. And it's FREE!
If your net margin is 10%, leakage is costing you a third of your company's actual profit — every year you wait.
We connect to your accounting, estimating, and project management systems — read-only — and run a forensic scan across every transaction. Our AI models are trained specifically on residential construction financials. They read change orders, supplier invoices, labor entries, draw schedules, and contract terms together, looking for the patterns of margin erosion that standard reporting was never designed to surface. No manual exports. No spreadsheets on your end. The engine does the work.
What we use as a benchmark
We benchmark your operation against a proprietary dataset drawn from residential builders across the $10M–$50M revenue band — covering variation recovery rates, supplier pricing norms, labor cost ratios, and contract gap frequencies by build type. This isn't a generic SMB benchmark. It's built from construction-specific data, so when we tell you your variation recovery rate is 12 points below the median for your volume tier, that comparison actually means something.
How we compare it to your data
Once the scan is complete, we map your actual transaction data against those benchmarks line by line — flagging every category where your numbers diverge from what a well-run operation at your revenue level should look like. Each finding is ranked by dollar value recovered, so you see the biggest opportunities first. The output isn't a score or a summary. It's a specific, prioritized list of where your margin is going and exactly what it would take to get it back.

Where leakage hides
What your P&L isn't telling you
Most profit leakage is invisible in standard reporting. Our AI finds the gaps between what was quoted, invoiced, and actually recovered.
Variation orders
Claims not raised, under-priced, or never recovered from the client.
Supplier pricing
Creeping invoice inflation that slips through approval processes.
Labor overruns
Hours absorbed silently that were never built into the contract.
Rework costs
Defect rectification that should have been a trade's responsibility.
Contract gaps
Ambiguous scope that trades exploit at your expense.
Preliminary blowouts
Site costs that expand beyond what was allowed in the estimate.
Why this keeps happening
It's not your quoting. It's not your trades.
Most builders who come to us are running good operations. The money isn't disappearing because of bad decisions. It's disappearing in the gaps between systems — gaps that no standard tool was built to find.
01 · THE SITUATION
You're doing the right things
You quote carefully, manage good trades, and deliver quality work. The problem isn't effort or intention. It's visibility — and visibility is a data problem, not a performance problem.
02 · THE GAP
Your systems weren't built for this
Accounting software records what happened. Project management tools track progress. Neither was designed to catch the gap between what should have been charged and what actually was. That gap is where your margin lives.
03 · THE FIX
You build. We handle the profit side.
No new systems to learn. No hours lost on job costing or spreadsheets. BuilderLogix connects to what you already use, does the analysis, builds the recovery plan, and monitors the results. Your only job is to approve what we find.

Our approach
What we do for our clients
We don't just identify problems. We become your financial operations partner, working alongside your team to find leaks, prevent them, and build systems that protect margin day after day.
Phase 1
Initial Financial Analysis
Our AI-powered forensic analysis hunts every transaction across your projects for hidden margin erosion. Your dedicated BuilderLogix financial advisor then synthesizes the raw data into clear, actionable recovery steps—no data science background required on your end.
The discovery: We show you exactly where the money went — down to the specific change orders, supplier overages, and labor hour misalignments that your system wasn't designed to catch.
Phase 2
Daily System Monitoring
We review your accounting system every day, tracking all transactions and flagging issues in real time. When something doesn't align with your budget or baseline, you'll see it on your dashboard first thing in the morning.
Real example: A plumbing rough-in first draw posts at $8.2K when your budget was $7.5K. We catch it overnight. You review it in the morning and decide: approve, negotiate, or investigate before the next draw.
Phase 3
Systems Integration & Ongoing Support
We work directly with your team to integrate our documentation, processes, and policies into your daily workflow. You're never alone in managing the margin side of your business.
What's included:
·Quarterly margin reviews & strategy sessions
·Access to our template library & best practices
·Support for special projects & analysis
·Training for your accounting & project teams
·Ongoing contract & variation documentation
Phase 4
Ongoing CFO Support

Beyond the audit
We permanently harden your profit architecture.
Most consultants find leakage. We find leakage AND fix the systems that let it happen in the first place.
Structural Fix #1
Chart of Accounts Restructuring
We rebuild your account structure so leakage becomes visible in real-time. Instead of margin erosion hiding across 15 GL codes, it surfaces immediately. Your accountant never rewrites a line item—we handle the migration. Result: your team stops bleeding money on future projects.
Structural Fix #2
Sub & Customer Agreement Hardening
We audit your standard sub contracts and customer agreements for the exact gaps we found in your forensic analysis. We close them. Tighter variation language. Clearer pricing escalation clauses. Better rework assignment. Once hardened, future projects auto-protect your margin.
Structural Fix #3
Sub Approval & Change Order Workflows
We harden your project workflows so expensive mistakes require friction. Variation orders get flagged before they blow the budget. Supplier pricing gets benchmarked before it ships. You keep more margin on every future job.
What you're actually getting
A $12M builder would normally need to hire four different specialists to accomplish what we do.
And you have to find them and hire them and watch them point fingers.

Not ready for the full engagement?
Start with a free Leakage Assessment.
Twenty minutes of intake. Two scheduled meetings — a 15-minute data readiness call and a 45-minute findings presentation. You walk away with a 6–10 page report: a 0–100 score across ten dimensions, a defensible dollar estimate of your annual leakage, and a prioritized fix list. No card. No commitment.
Our focus is residential builders running $10M–$50M in annual revenue — where leakage hits hardest relative to the financial infrastructure most builders have in place, and a CFO-grade read is hardest to find on your own.
Volume builders
$10M–$35M revenue · multiple active jobs
Margin erosion compounds across a large portfolio
Variation management is inconsistent across sites
Labor cost overruns are hard to track at scale
Supplier pricing is difficult to benchmark centrally
Custom home builders
$10M–$25M revenue · high-value builds
Fixed-price contracts create high variation exposure
Scope creep is common and hard to document
Rework costs are frequently absorbed without recovery
Contract gaps leave money on the table
Development groups
Active project portfolios
Margins across projects vary widely without clear reason
These are the situations we hear most often from builders before they start with us.
Variations
"We're doing more work than we quoted but margins keep shrinking."
Variation orders are often under-claimed or not raised at all, silently eating into project margins project after project.
Reporting
"Our P&L looks fine but something doesn't add up."
Standard accounting reports don't show leakage — they show what was recorded, not what was lost before it reached the books.
Labor
"We keep absorbing labor costs we shouldn't have to."
Hours that fall outside contract scope are routinely absorbed rather than claimed back, often because the documentation trail is weak.
Suppliers
"Our material costs keep creeping up but we can't pin down why."
Supplier pricing drift is one of the most consistent sources of margin erosion — and one of the hardest to spot without AI-level analysis.
Who we're not for (today)
Our focus is $10M–$50M residential. Builders above $15M can still benefit — the methodology holds across the $10M–$50M market — but our pricing, cadence, and reporting are tuned to the smaller end. Below $1M or pre-revenue, we're probably too heavy a hammer; happy to have a conversation about where you're headed.
Results
Real leakage. Real recovery.
Every engagement tells the same story — builders doing good work, losing more than they should. Here's what we consistently find and recover.

About BuilderLogix
Built by someone who knows where it hurts.
BuilderLogix was founded by a builder profitability consultant who spent years watching good builders lose money they'd already earned — not through bad decisions, but through gaps that no one was looking for. We built the AI so you don't have to look manually.

Who's behind this
I watched three great builders go under. It didn't have to happen.
I've built over 500 homes. Approved over a billion in loans. Ran a company that trained thousands of engineers. I've done the numbers, done the building, done it all.
But the thing that changed my life? Watching three of my best friends—solid people, great builders—get buried by their back offices. I came close myself, more times than I care to admit. And I realized something: we were all making the same mistake.
The money was there. We just didn't see it until it was gone. Variations unclaimed. Supplier invoices drifting. Labor hours absorbed. Contract gaps we never closed. Our systems were never designed to catch it.
When I realized what AI combined with better controls and solid contracts could do—I didn't hesitate. I built BuilderLogix as a safety shield around your margin. Not to catch what you already lost, but to stop the bleeding on everything you're about to build.
This isn't a business to me. This is personal. I know exactly how many of you I can help because I've been you. I almost became one of those stories.
Our Founder
Bob Miller
CPA · Bank President · Licensed Builder · Serial Founder · CFO · AI Professional
Bob started at PwC — learning how money works from the inside out, ledger line by ledger line. That foundation led to a career in banking that ended with the presidency of Life Savings Bank, which he grew from $60 million to $500 million in four years. He knows what a well-controlled financial operation looks like. And he knows exactly what breaks when it isn't.
He also built homes. Over 500 of them. As a licensed contractor, he ran crews, managed subs, lived through variation disputes, and felt the gap between what a job was supposed to cost and what it actually did. He didn't learn construction from a client engagement — he learned it with his own money on the line.
Since then, he's founded or co-founded five companies — one of them an INC500 — and served as CFO across industries ranging from fitness franchises to digital marketing. He's a Toptal Finance Consultant (top 3% of applicants globally) and a GLG Council member, called on by major organizations for financial modeling, M&A, and FP&A work. He knows what high-performance financial infrastructure looks like, and how far most builders are from it.
BuilderLogix is where all of it converges. The audit training. The banker's eye for risk. The builder's feel for where costs actually go. The CFO's toolkit for recovery. And a command of AI that most people in this space haven't caught up with yet. This specific combination — accounting, construction, finance, and technology — is exactly what this problem requires.
"I watched three great builders go under. People I knew. People I respected. All of them solid operators. All of them failed in the back office. I came close myself—multiple times. When I finally figured out what could stop it, I had to act. I didn't build this company to be another consulting firm. I built it as a safety shield around your margin because I know what it costs when you don't have one."
Our story
Why we built this
The Reality Check
Building over 500 homes taught me that knowing construction and knowing profit are two completely different things. When I started, I knew spreadsheets and lending better than I knew framing and footers. By home 500, I knew a little of both. But the real education came from watching the aftermath—the builders who lost everything in the back office.
The Turning Point
Three of my closest friends—all great operators, all solid people—didn't survive the leakage. I came dangerously close, multiple times. That's the kind of thing that rewires your priorities forever. It wasn't their lack of effort. It wasn't bad luck. It was a back office that couldn't see where the money was going until it was already gone.
They lost margin on variations they didn't claim. They got stung by supplier invoices that drifted. They absorbed labor hours nobody wanted to fight about. And by the time they saw the problem, it was too late.
The Solution
When I finally understood what AI combined with tighter controls and solid contracts could accomplish, I didn't hesitate. I'd spent my career in finance, in lending, in building—I knew every angle of this problem. And I knew the answer wasn't another consulting gig or another software tool.
It was a safety shield. A system that catches the bleeding before it becomes fatal. That's BuilderLogix.
Why This Matters
I'm not building this because it's a market opportunity. I'm building this because I know exactly how many of you are in danger and don't know it yet. I'm building this because those three friends of mine shouldn't have happened. And I'm building this because I almost became that story myself.
Builders should keep the money they earn. That's not a slogan for me. That's the whole point.
How we work
Our values
We've sat where you sit
This isn't theory. Bob built over 500 homes, ran a billion in loans, started companies. We don't consult about construction—we've lived it. We know the pressure, the near-misses, and what it feels like to almost lose it all.
We're not soft on this
Aggressive on the numbers. Confident in what we find. Passionate about stopping the bleeding. We don't sugarcoat what's happening in your back office—we fix it and we stay until you're protected.
You win or we don't
If our analysis doesn't identify savings worth 2× our fee, you pay $0. We share the financial risk because we're certain about what we'll find. Your margin recovery is literally our only measure of success.
Builders should keep the money they earn
That's not a marketing line. That's the foundation of everything we do. We exist because three great builders went under in the back office and we couldn't let it happen again.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Everything builders want to know about our process, pricing, commitment, and guarantee.
How much does it cost?
Our pricing scales with your revenue. For a builder doing $12M annually — mid-market in our range — the Margin Recovery package is $5,400 setup + $2,850 per month (Year 1). That's $39,600 total for Year 1, which includes diagnosis, contract review, hardening of agreements, and monthly 45-minute CFO strategy reviews.
Fees scale with revenue across the $10M–$50M band. We're not one-size-fits-all — the fee scales proportionally because the scale of leakage does. Request a custom quote for your revenue tier.
What commitment do you need from our team?
Lean but real:
☐ Accounting system access (read-only for us)
☐ Initial 2-hour intake meeting with you + accounting lead
☐ Amendment to your chart of accounts (we handle this)
☐ Monthly 45-minute review meeting (you + us)
☐ Willingness to tighten contract language and sub approval workflows
Is there a more affordable option?
Yes. If you believe you can implement our recommendations yourself and just need monitoring, we offer the Self-Service + Monitoring package. You get access to our platform, monthly dashboard reporting of leakage metrics, and email support. No CFO reviews or hands-on implementation from us — you drive the process.
This works well for sophisticated ops teams. For most builders, the monthly reviews pay for themselves in recovered margin within 3–4 months.
What does onboarding look like?
Week 1–2: Intake meeting (2 hours). You, your accountant, us. We ask about your operations, accounting stack, pain points.
Week 2–3: System setup. We integrate with your accounting software (read-only), amend your chart of accounts, set up the data pipeline. Takes 3–5 days, minimal disruption.
Week 4: First report. Initial leakage analysis, findings, recovery roadmap. First review meeting scheduled.
Do we have to amend our chart of accounts?
Yes—and this is actually where the real competitive advantage lives. Right now, your margin erosion hides across multiple GL codes, so patterns don't surface until weeks later. We restructure your accounts so leakage becomes visible in real-time. Your accountant doesn't rewrite anything—we handle the migration. Once it's done, your team stops bleeding money on future projects because the problems become impossible to miss. This is the difference between a one-time audit and a permanent business upgrade.
Will someone be available if we have questions?
Always. Monthly reviews with a CFO (Margin Recovery). Email support 48-hour response. And if something material comes up — a contract question, a margin decision, a supplier negotiation — you call. You get a senior advisor, not a help desk. People who've sat where you sit.
What's the guarantee?
If we don't save you twice our fee in Year 1, we refund the difference. We calculate it as: our full fee less 50% of actual savings realized. So if we find $50K in leakage, you realize $25K of it (conservative), and we charged $39.6K, we refund you $14.6K. Savings are measured and verified through your accounting records.
How long until we start seeing results?
First leakage report: 4 weeks. First actionable findings: Week 2–3 of that (preliminary). Real recovery — dollars back in your account from tightened contracts and better processes — 6–8 weeks. Most builders see material results (5% margin improvement) within 90 days.
Can you work with our existing accounting software?
Yes. QuickBooks, Xero, Buildots, Procore, CoConstruct, Excel — we integrate with all of them. We don't ask you to switch systems. We hook into what you already use, pull the data, and build the analysis on our side. You keep using your tools; we handle the heavy lifting.
What happens after Year 1?
Year 1 is all diagnosis and hardening. Year 2, if you keep us on, it's optimization and new leakage hunting. Your fees reset (we repriceonce we know your actual revenue and leakage profile). Most clients see Year 2 savings actually grow because the systems are in place — recovery is passive, not active.
You can also downshift to the Self-Service + Monitoring plan once you've integrated our system — save money while keeping the oversight.
What if we're not satisfied with the findings?
The findings are defensible and methodical — we cite specific transactions, show the data, and explain the logic. If you disagree with a leakage categorization, we debate it and adjust. That said, in Year 1 we're not guessing. We're pulling directly from your accounting and project records.
The refund guarantee covers the scenario where you don't achieve 2x savings. We stand behind the work.
Should we do the Snapshot or the Audit Call?
Snapshot if: You're busy, you trust your accounting data, you want answers in 48 hours, and you'll take it from there on your own timeline.
Audit Call if: You want to talk it through, you want your accountant in the room, you prefer live Q&A, or you need help thinking through next steps immediately.
