You can be profitable on every job, and still run out of cash. The difference between contractors who thrive and those who go bust often comes down to one overlooked metric: throughput. It’s not just about how much profit you earn, but how fast you earn it. 

Steve breaks down what throughput really means, how to calculate it, and why it’s the key to making smarter bids, improving crew efficiency, and avoiding the cash crunch that sinks so many businesses. With real stories and practical steps, you’ll learn how to spot low-throughput jobs before they drain your resources—and how to focus on the projects that drive profit fast.
