Scope of service
From our conversation
Four things we've already spotted — and what we'll do.
1 · Know what's safe to draw
ISSUE A healthy bank but no clear view of what's yours to take, with a second business to fund on top.
ACTION We build your P&L and a rolling cash flow forecast with buffer targets, so "how much can I take out" has a real answer.
2 · See the margin before the job closes
ISSUE Jobs finish profitable but blind — the figures aren't there in the moment.
ACTION Margin tracked at project level (tender vs actual) with early-warning alerts, so you act while it still counts.
3 · Financials that keep pace
ISSUE Two years ago it was just you; now there are 14, and the numbers haven't caught up.
ACTION In month one we audit the business from the ground up — data structured, dashboard live, weekly visibility across cash, projects and P&L.
4 · Price every tender with confidence
ISSUE On £2.4M with heavy subcontractor use, you're pricing on a feel for it — no clear line on break-even.
ACTION A pricing tool built off your real overheads and margins — the floor you can't go below, and the number that hits your target.

Weekly deliverables
Every single week
Protect margins & cash flow.
Cash-in vs cash-out
Across all active jobs, so cash pressure never creeps up on you.
Invoiced vs received
Who owes what and when — debtors and creditors tracked.
Committed costs
Labour, materials, plant and subcontractors logged per job, cost vs contract value.
Margin per project
Tendered vs what's actually being retained, variances flagged early.
Retention exposure
What's owed and outstanding — never the question you can't answer.
Rolling pipeline view
Jobs won, in progress, invoiced and outstanding.
Purpose: protect margin, prevent cash pressure, and give you real-time control over live jobs and overall performance.

What you get, and when
The engagement, end to end
From day one to every month.
FROM DAY ONE
The groundwork
- Full contract schedule built — every active and pipeline job mapped with value, committed cost and live margin
- Financial baseline established — what you're turning over, what you're keeping, where the gaps are
- Retention position mapped — what's owed back across jobs and when it's due
- Data and folders ordered — structured from the ground up, no guesswork from week one
EVERY WEEK
Ongoing oversight
- Project margins reviewed — tendered vs actual, variances flagged early
- Committed costs logged — labour, materials, plant and subbies per job
- Cash position updated — invoiced, received, outstanding, and what's safe to draw
- Weekly dashboard issued — live numbers across cash, projects and P&L
EVERY MONTH
Strategic review
- 1-to-1 strategy session — performance, what's working, what to adjust
- Pricing sense-checked — break-even and targets against your real overheads
- Next 90 days planned — pipeline, jobs in progress, risks ahead
- Growth decisions assessed — including what the business can safely fund, like your second venture

Delivery structure
No new systems, no disruption
How we deliver.
Weekly
Dashboard updated final working day of each week — live on your phone or desktop.
Monthly
Managing Director meeting — financial position, commercial performance and forward strategy.
Any time
Direct access for queries and clarifications. A question shouldn't have to wait for a meeting.
We plug into however Unicool already operates. We work around your existing Excel files and accounting software to get what we need — your time commitment is minimal, and the oversight runs in the background.
