The FER Formula
Our vision is simple: Profit is theory, cash is reality! In the construction industry, cash management is critical, but the challenges are many. Owners can be slow to pay, surety companies want to pay as little as possible, and clients, sometimes, don’t pay at all. So what can you do?

Too often, construction companies and their personnel view accounts receivable as a business process limited to billing for work performed and collecting the invoice. It is assumed that this is mainly the responsibility and work of the accounting and administration team.
Every member of your team (estimating, administration, procurement, construction team, service team, project management, accounting, dispatch, etc.) has an impact on your ability to get paid. The entire team needs to be aware of the steps that lead to payment and understand the role they need to play in expediting your collections.
