Only 5% of builders consistently finish projects within 1% of their target margins. As your business grows, that gap carries more weight.

Protecting margin takes visibility across estimating, committed costs, change orders and cash flow, especially when your team is managing more projects and decisions at once. When spreadsheets and disconnected tools fill the gaps, it becomes harder to spot problems while there’s still time to act.

More projects, bigger teams and higher revenue are signs of growth, but they also create more places for schedules to slip, margins to tighten and information to get lost.

Tomorrow, we’re bringing together two builders who have experienced that growth firsthand: Meg Billings of Meg & Co. Designer Homes and Jacob Wittenberg of Edgemont Builders. Both are running eight-figure construction businesses across luxury residential and commercial work, and they’re getting real about what had to change as their businesses became more complex.

What broke first? What did they have to rebuild? And how do they keep schedules, crews and cash aligned today?

This isn’t a product demo or a highlight reel. It’s an honest conversation about what it actually takes to operate at the next level. Register to join the conversation:

A full pipeline tells you there’s demand for your work. It doesn’t tell you how much profit you’ll keep. Buildertrend’s 2026 data shows that nearly 1 in 4 builders reported no net profit in 2025, while only 5% consistently finish projects within 1% of their planned margins. For established builders, those numbers raise an important question: Can your team see margin slipping while there’s still time to respond?

That takes more than tracking expenses. It means comparing estimated and actual costs throughout the build, accounting for committed spend and making sure approved change orders reach the budget and billing process.

As project volume grows, those everyday practices become even more important to protecting the business you’ve built. Our latest blog explores what the data reveals and how builders can take a more proactive approach to profitability. Read more:

Building a home means managing the project and the homeowner experience at the same time.

If your team needs a spreadsheet to manage selections or a separate thread to keep homeowners updated, your software may be making residential work harder than it needs to be. Every selection, change order and client update can affect the budget, the schedule and the relationship you’re building, so the technology supporting those workflows should be designed around how residential teams work.

Our latest blog explores why commercial-first platforms can leave gaps in everyday residential workflows and what builders should look for instead. Read more:

The systems that helped you manage five projects may struggle when you’re managing fifteen.

As construction businesses grow, more projects mean more schedules, documents, decisions and financial details to keep aligned. Adding another tool for every new challenge can leave teams with more places to look and more work connecting the dots.

Edgemont Builders took a different approach, their team introduced Buildertrend in stages. Starting with Daily Logs and documents before bringing subcontractors into the workflow and adding Purchase Orders. Each step gave the team time to build a process they would actually use.

Our latest blog looks at what growing contractors need from their technology, with lessons from Edgemont, Ebersole Builders LLC, Meg & Co. Designer Homes and Killowen Construction. Read it here:

More revenue doesn’t automatically mean a stronger construction business. When you’re running an established, high-revenue building company, growth is about more than adding projects to the schedule. You need to know which jobs are meeting their target margins, where costs are shifting and whether taking on more work is improving the health of the business.

That’s why visibility into job costs, committed costs, cash flow and performance across projects matters. It helps leaders decide which opportunities are worth pursuing, where to make adjustments and how to grow with intention instead of measuring success by how busy the team is.
