QUICK ANSWER

CONTROL is an 8-step financial operating system for construction subcontractors doing $1M to $12M a year, written by Josh Luebker, a former commercial project manager who managed $2.1B in projects. The ebook hit #1 New Release in Financial Accounting on Amazon during preorder. One client used it to go from $161,000 to $1.1 million in net profit in a single year, on the same revenue. The book launches October 1, 2026.

Every step in this system runs inside Sulphur Prairie Management's active fractional CFO practice today. This isn't theory waiting to be tested. It's the system already at work for subcontractors right now.

REVENUE IS VANITY.
PROFIT IS REALITY.

THE 8 STEPS

A construction financial operating system is the set of steps that shows a subcontractor where profit is made or lost, project by project, instead of guessing at the end of the month. CONTROL breaks that into eight steps.

01
Job Cost Structure
7 categories, 3 levels. See exactly where every dollar goes on every project.
02
Equipment Cost Basis
True daily cost per piece of equipment. Stop losing money on every deployment.
03
Overhead Calculation
Most contractors think 10 percent overhead. Most are running 25 to 42 percent. Find your real number.
04
Estimating System
Align every estimate line item to your job cost codes. Apples to apples, every time.
05
Software & Bookkeeping
The right setup so your PM pulls job costs in 30 seconds. Not 3 days.
06
Project Management Standards
Bill on time. Send every change order. Follow the standard. No exceptions.
07
Monthly Cadence
Weekly bookkeeping. Cost to complete. The CEO report. 5 hours a month. That is it.
08
Standards & Accountability
The system that keeps everything running without you in every meeting and decision.

JOSH LUEBKER
AUTHOR · CONTROL · PRESIDENT, SULPHUR PRAIRIE MANAGEMENT

Former commercial construction project manager and master electrician. Managed 150+ projects totaling $2.1B+. Google data centers, military bases, hospitals, airport runways, and federal facilities across multiple states. He watched profitable subcontractors run out of cash on jobs he was managing. CONTROL is built from what works on the job site, not what looks good in a textbook.

Josh leads Sulphur Prairie Management (SPM The Construction CFO) as the fractional CFO for commercial subcontractors. Not a bookkeeper. Not a traditional CPA firm. A team that understands how a project gets built, how money flows through a construction company, and how to align all of it so owners can finally see what is happening. Featured on the Blue Collar Business Podcast with Sy Kirby, plus Roofer Growth Hacks, The Grit Blueprint, and 10+ other industry shows. Spoken at Converge Construction Summit. Based in Sulphur Rock, AR.
