Why Waterproofing Contractors Lose Days They Never Bill
Waterproofing contractors lose days they never bill when substrate prep runs long on someone else's bad concrete, cure windows collide with weather, and square-foot production never gets measured against the bid. CONTROL makes prep its own billable scope, documents the delays, and puts production on a weekly report.
The specific ways waterproofing contractors lose cash, pulled straight from what makes this trade different.
SF Production Job Costing
Waterproofing is a square-foot production trade. Cost per square foot, tracked weekly by system type, is the difference between a bid rate and a real rate.
Substrate Prep Billing
Grinding, patching, and drying someone else's substrate is real work outside your membrane scope. Priced as its own line, prep gets billed instead of absorbed.
Cure Time Weather Delay Recovery
Cure windows and weather do not negotiate. Documented delay notices keep a rained-out week recoverable instead of becoming your donation to the schedule.
