ESTIMATE SORTER
FINANCE
HHI Builders faced challenges with inbound profitability, as failing to add margins to the design phase impacted their overall gross profit, which remained in the high teens. Seasonal fluctuations also posed difficulties due to the absence of effective forecasting tools. With BBA’s guidance, a forecasting tool was introduced to help HHI strategically plan for 2025 and beyond. Collaborating with an external financial firm, cash flow issues were analyzed, and profitability was integrated into the design phase to ensure sustainable growth. Additionally, current projects were closely tracked to evaluate their influence on both sales and overall profitability. Moving forward, HHI is encouraged to consistently monitor KPIs at both organizational and individual levels, refine profitability within the design phase, and optimize job-level performance to prevent margin erosion. Establishing a business line of credit and segregating cash reserves will position the company for their next growth phase, with a goal of surpassing $10 million in revenue. BBA remains a committed partner in supporting HHI Builders in achieving their ambitious growth targets while maintaining robust financial stability.

WHEN WE STARTED
What is your company's biggest struggle at the moment?
Our biggest struggle is in sequencing of work, ensuring that all the little details are captured. There's a lot of reworks that's having to be done that's costing us as an organization. The biggest complaints my subs would have been that we're disorganized. I also think that applies to "the back-end" of our business. Initially the business was set up in my google drive and slowly we migrated it to shared drives. I think there's probably a better way to structure the digital files.
SALES
Cann Construction has undergone a remarkable transformation in its leadership approach through our coaching. Initially held back by problem personnel, the leadership gained the confidence to make tough decisions, resulting in the release of underperforming team members who were misaligned with the company’s vision. This decisive action paved the way for hiring skilled, motivated employees who are better suited to Cann’s culture and goals, fostering a cohesive and capable team. The leadership team now prioritizes strategic decision-making that drives both operational efficiency and morale improvement. With these changes, Cann is positioned for sustainable success, focusing on building a high-performing team and a robust foundation for long-term growth. Moving forward, it will be essential to continue cultivating a strong leadership mindset, aligning team goals with company objectives, and exploring opportunities to enhance both financial performance and organizational culture. BBA will remain a trusted partner in guiding Cann Construction toward greater operational success and financial stability.

OPERATIONS
Cann Construction has made significant strides in transforming its leadership approach with our coaching, shifting from being held back by misaligned personnel to building a high-performing team aligned with the company’s vision. Initially, the leadership lacked the confidence to address underperforming team members, but with support, they made the tough decisions necessary to release problematic individuals. This opened the door to hiring skilled, motivated employees who better fit Cann’s culture and goals, creating a cohesive and driven team. Leadership has since embraced strategic decision-making, focusing on both operational efficiency and team morale, which has strengthened the company’s foundation for growth. Moving forward, it will be critical to maintain a strong leadership mindset, align team objectives with company goals, and capitalize on opportunities to improve financial health and organizational culture. As Cann continues to refine its operations and leadership practices, BBA will remain a committed partner, supporting their journey toward long-term operational success and profitability.

PROPOSAL AUTOMATION
FINANCE
Cann Construction has experienced rapid growth but faced significant challenges with low gross profit margins, initially in the high teens to low twenties, which led to net losses and reliance on personal funds and leverage to cover operating costs. To address these issues, the owner was educated on pricing strategies, shifting job estimates from a 20% markup to gross profit margins in the high 20s. While this is not yet reflective of the premium service Cann provides, it marks progress in improving cash flow and profitability. Additionally, the team size was streamlined to boost operational efficiency, while current projects are being closely monitored to ensure they positively impact financial performance. As older, poorly priced jobs are completed, better-managed projects will help Cann build reserves to handle future business fluctuations. Moving forward, it is crucial for Cann to continue raising profit margins, tracking opportunity loss ratios, and focusing on improved invoicing and collections. Securing a business line of credit and pursuing Women-Owned Business certification will also be essential for achieving stability and future growth. BBA remains committed to supporting Cann Construction in strengthening its financial health and achieving long-term profitability.

WHEN WE STARTED
What is your company's biggest struggle at the moment?
Schedule forecasting. It seems like we're always in a feast or famine. We have ~3 million in the design pipeline that might go to build, if they all do, we'll be onboarding a new PD and PM, but we don't have the data to forecast how many of these projects will convert yet.

FINANCE
Artisan has faced cash flow issues due to a sales drop caused by digital marketing mistakes, despite maintaining strong gross profit margins of 40-50%. High overhead costs of $100k per quarter, driven by fixed expenses like the showroom lease and owner compensation, have strained finances. Instead of focusing solely on cost-cutting, BBA supported Artisan in hiring Production Director Mike, who secured nearly $1.5M in potential business within weeks. As sales recover, Artisan must prioritize financial discipline by covering key expenses, reducing debt, rebuilding reserves, and reassessing headcount. Once financially stable, pursuing a business line of credit will be strategic. BBA is committed to providing the financial oversight needed for responsible growth and owner benefits.
