About this episode
Reece Barnes sits down with Joel Route of Mark D Williams Custom Homes to talk about the real cost of messy job costing and how it wrecks trust with clients. They break down how miscoded invoices can turn into double billing, end of job surprises, and $60K to $70K hits to margin. You will hear simple process rules, how to keep draws clean, and why real time cost tracking changes everything. If this helped, subscribe and share it with a builder who is still doing this in spreadsheets.https://www.mdwilliamshomes.comShow Notes:00:00 Intro01:01 Joel’s role02:34 Where costs broke05:46 Keep it simple07:04 Double billing damage12:10 Fixed vs cost17:02 Change resistance23:39 Weekly client updates26:39 The $70K lesson33:24 Stop end change orders39:34 Process takeawayFind Our Hosts: Reece BarnesMatt CalvanoPodcast Produced By:Motif Media
