Managing 1,100 Homes Like an Investment Portfolio | Cash Flow, Job Costing & Field Reality
What does it really take to manage a 1,100-home, multi-year reconstruction program—and keep the numbers honest?
In this episode of Finance at the Jobsite, I sit down with Charles Britt, a construction leader with nearly 18 years in the Air National Guard who now oversees large-scale mechanical reconstruction at Keesler Air Force Base.
Charles breaks down how military accountability shaped the way he thinks about money, contracts, and responsibility—and why every house on a job should be treated like its own standalone investment.
We cover:
Why cash flow is the oxygen of large projects
How labor efficiency, materials, and rework make or break margin
Managing 1,100 homes as a house-by-house portfolio, not a single job
Using Dash, QuickBooks, Excel, and bill.com to see problems early
Where invoicing, approvals, and subcontractor communication break down
Why walking the jobsite reveals more than weekly reports
The real cost of small inefficiencies and hidden waste
How better data, systems, and voice tools could change field operations
This is a practical conversation for owners, project managers, controllers, CFOs, and anyone who wants to speak both operations and finance fluently in construction.
