The Enterprise Operations Review

A 30–50 page written audit for GCs running $25M+ in annual volume, covering estimating, change orders, sub coordination, job costing, and admin across multiple project types and offices. Delivered as a PDF within 10 business days.

At $25M+ in annual volume, every percentage point of margin recovery moves $250,000. The largest leaks hide at the intersections between offices, trades, and project types — invisible to any single-domain audit.

Why a different engagement at this scale

At $25M+ in annual volume, a one-percent margin recovery is worth $250,000. The pain points are the same as a smaller firm — estimating accuracy, change order capture, sub coordination, job costing — but the dollar value of each process gap is an order of magnitude larger, and the interactions between offices, trades, and project types are what hide the largest leaks.

The standard 10–14 page operations review is sized for a lean firm with one or two project types. Mid-market and larger GCs have process variation by office, by client segment, and by trade. The audit has to be built around that variation rather than averaged across it.

What this can recover

At $25M+ in annual volume, every percentage point of margin recovery moves $250,000. Mid-market GCs on public construction threads have reported losing 3–4% of margin to change-order chaos alone — $600,000 to $800,000 a year on $20M of project volume.

Constructability RFIs surfaced at bid time rather than after award have been described as cutting change-order disputes by 2–3% of contract value. The audit prioritises recommendations by estimated dollar recovery against the audit fee.

What you send

Ten to twenty recent bids spanning your typical project mix. Documentation samples from each office or division if applicable. A written walkthrough of your estimating, change order, and job-costing workflows. We do not ask for client names, contract amounts, sub rates, or financial statements.

What you get back

A 30–50 page written PDF analysing each process domain separately and at the intersections — where estimating variance feeds change-order disputes, where sub coordination gaps surface as job-cost surprises, where admin friction compounds across offices. Recommendations are prioritised by estimated dollar recovery against the audit fee. Delivered within 10 business days of intake.

Who this is for

GCs in the $25M–$100M+ annual volume range, typically running multiple project types or multiple offices, where an internal operations function exists but a written outside view of where margin is leaking has not been commissioned. Final fee depends on the number of project types and offices in scope and is set at intake.

Starting at $35,000

1% margin recovery is worth $250,000 on a $25M shop.

Questions people ask first

Who is the Enterprise Operations Review for?

GCs running $25M+ in annual volume across multiple project types or offices. The standard 10–14 page Operations Review is sized for a lean firm with one or two project types; at this scale, process variation by office, client segment, and trade is what hides the largest leaks.

Why is the price meaningfully different from the smaller reviews?

At $25M+ in annual volume, a 1% margin recovery is worth $250,000. The audit scope expands to cover that recovery surface — multi-office process variation, job-cost discipline at scale, sub coordination across trades, admin and back-office process. Delivered as a 30–50 page PDF within 10 business days.

What do you need from us to run it?

A multi-stakeholder intake covering estimating, change orders, job costing, sub coordination, and back-office process. Selected redacted bid packages, change orders, and job-cost reports from recent work. A scoping call to confirm what the audit will and won't cover — this is the only Prevaldi product with a synchronous scoping call.

What's not in scope?

Not an audit of your construction itself (quality, safety, schedule performance). Not a financial audit (your CPA does that). Not a software selection engagement (although the report flags overlaps and gaps in your existing stack). The Enterprise Review is an operations review of how the work flows, sized for firms whose operations are too varied for the smaller standard review.

Can we engage on a single office or division?

Yes. Some clients run the Enterprise Review on a specific office or division as a pilot before scaling it across the firm. Pricing scales accordingly — talk to us at intake about whether a full-firm or a single-division engagement makes more sense.
