Where the gap usually hides.
The first places we look in a mining-services contractor or fabricator. Usually two or three of these carry most of it.
Estimating assumptions
Productivity rates and crew sizes that were right three years ago and nobody has checked since.
Unclaimed variations
Extra scope done on site to keep the client happy, never written up or never billed.
Mobilisation and standby
Mob, demob and waiting time priced as a lump sum that the job never recovers.
Cost-to-serve
The account everyone is proud of that quietly takes more people, hire and freight than it pays for.
Know your number? Find it in two weeks.
A Diagnose puts your last tenders side by side with what they actually made, and shows where the points went. AU$4,500 – 12,000 ex GST, and you keep the findings whatever you do next.
