✅ Project Management – when Asana is enough, when to step up to Buildertrend or Procore, and the daily logs that stop overspend
✅ Document & Communication Control – centralised cloud storage, Slack channels and SOPs that keep teams and clients aligned
✅ Finance & Cash Flow – fast invoicing, realistic 12-week forecasts and the “progress-payment ladder” that ends cash crunches
✅ Bonus – a quarterly review ritual to refine systems before small cracks become profit-draining gaps
