Success story
£5.6m construction firm with 28-person team. Founder driving between sites daily, project overruns constant, margins leaking. Diagnosed the bottleneck: founder was single point of failure. Built structured site review system, variation approval workflow, and accountability dashboards. Results in 10 weeks: project overruns down 48%, margins up 6.5 points, 12 hours/week reclaimed. Business now runs without founder firefighting.
