Cashflow Clarity for Construction Businesses: Breaking the Cashflow Crunch Cycle.

Cash flow problems are usually a symptom, not the cause. So if you want to break the cashflow crunch cycle for good, better visibility isn’t enough on its own. You have to fix what’s driving the problem underneath.

When you’ve got several jobs running at once, cash is constantly moving in and out of the business. Add retentions, progress claims and invoices you’re still waiting on, and it gets hard to see a clear picture of whether you’ve actually got enough runway. The numbers exist. They’re just not telling you where you stand.

This masterclass is about two things. First, giving you a crystal clear view of your cash position. And more importantly, showing you what to fix in your business to break the cashflow crunch cycle once and for all. David Holzgrefe and Douglas Adams from our Advisory team walk you through both.

What you will learn

• Why growing turnover can squeeze cash instead of freeing it, and the traps that catch you mid-growth: retentions, WIP, and the gap between doing the work and getting paid.
• The system behind numbers you can trust: a clean flow from estimate to actuals, so your cash position reflects reality.
• Why your P&L and your bank balance disagree, and how month-end close and WIP bring them back together.
• A 13-week cashflow forecast for businesses in real cash pain, or running only a few projects at once, so you can see exactly what’s coming week to week.
• A complete 3-way forecast model for businesses scaling up or already running lots of projects at the same time, so the big calls stop happening in the dark.
• Protecting cash through the pinch points: slow payers, seasonal slowdowns, and the costs that land mid-job.

Who it is for

Construction business owners and directors who feel reactive and want a clearer read on margin and cash. Some are growing and want their systems to keep pace. Others want to stay the size they are and lift profit and process instead. Either way, if you suspect there are gaps in how you see and forecast your cashflow, this is for you. Builders, trade contractors and supply chain businesses all welcome.
