Eight questions

Answer for an ordinary week, not your best one.

Decisions

How many decisions a week from the sites and the office wait for you personally?
What happens on the sites if you are unreachable for two weeks?

Money

Who besides you knows how much cash will be left after the next subcontractor payments?
Who approves a subcontractor’s invoice for payment?

Customers

How many clients and developers talk only to you?
Do tenders go out without you pricing them yourself?

Agreements

Where do agreements with clients and subcontractors live?
Who notices when a promise from a site meeting is not kept?

Your answers stay in the browser. They reach me only if you send the result yourself.

Result

Answer the eight questions and four areas appear here: where the business runs without you and where it rests on you. And what to hand over first.

About the check

How it works
Eight answers, each worth 0 to 2 points, two questions for each of four areas. Each area gets 0 to 4 points.
Assumptions
This is your own assessment. The questions are written for a contractor with several sites and ignore the size of the company.
What the result means
The area with the highest score is where work waits for you most often. It is a good place to start, not a diagnosis.
What to check next
How many decisions actually waited for you last week. And ask your site managers and the office where they most often get stuck waiting for you.

Why it is hard to see

While you are there, everything works. The dependency shows up on holiday, in illness, or when a fourth site starts and you cannot answer every call. Then the queue of decisions waiting for you becomes visible to everyone.

It works better to hand over one type of decision at a time, such as change orders up to €5,000: with a rule, a limit and a date when you look together at how it went.
