Builders across Australia are facing increasing margin pressures.
Fixed price contracts, set material and labour rates, and long lead times between pricing and build all contribute to slimmer and slimmer margins. Margin analysis is now more important than it ever was in order to stay profitable.

A key challenge is that costs continue to rise between the time you provide a fixed bid to a customer and when you actually have to order the materials and labour. Timber, bricks, appliances - construction material costs keep going up, if you underestimate those future costs in your original offer, your margins take a massive hit.

On top of estimating future costs, there are often errors in original pricing and unexpected changes that happen during construction. For homebuilders dependent on narrow margins, even relatively small cost overruns can quickly eliminate profits. Identifying those issues quickly is imperative to stay financially viable.
