Thinking about subdividing or building out the back of your property? Before you grab the shovel, tune in to this Tax Tuesday episode where Daniel McPherson explains the hidden risks in backyard developments. From finance pitfalls and GST to losing your main residence exemption, this session breaks down why these “mum and dad” projects require serious planning. Learn how to avoid costly mistakes and unlock your equity the smart way.
Real Estate is a block-to-block business, especially multifamily. There are too many nuances involved to manage multifamily without boots on the ground. This is where a lot of operators went wrong over the past several years. In addition to buying in markets they didn't know, many inexperienced operators followed the herd by overbidding on properties and used risky debt to make deals pencil. Most of these operators and their investors are now in a world of hurt. Bruce Fraser, Managing Partner of Elkhorn Capital Partners, avoided these overpriced assets and created a smart niche of buying highly distressed properties at deep discounts. As a result, his properties are doing extremely well. Elkhorn Capital oversees over 2000 units across Tulsa and Oklahoma City and plans on further expansion into these markets.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 587, And It's About Fortifying Financials And The Importance Of Solid Security Measures Handling multiple projects simultaneously is a common challenge for small construction companies. While it can signify growth and success, it comes with its fair share of struggles. From resource allocation to maintaining quality and meeting deadlines, juggling several projects can be overwhelming. However, with the right strategies, it's possible to navigate these challenges successfully. Staying organized is crucial. With numerous tasks, deadlines, and client expectations, implementing efficient organizational strategies is critical to success. Create a centralized system for storing project-related information such as contracts, plans, permits, and client communication. Utilize project management software or cloud-based storage solutions to ensure easy access and seamless collaboration with your team. Here are more detailed tips for staying organized when managing multiple projects: 1. Prioritize and Plan It is crucial to prioritize projects based on their deadlines, importance, and resource requirements. Creating a detailed project plan for each undertaking, including task schedules, resource allocation, and deadlines, can help maintain clarity and focus. Before starting any project, develop detailed plans outlining the scope of work, timelines, and budget. Clearly define project milestones, tasks, and responsibilities to keep everyone aligned and on track. 2. Efficient Resource Management Resource allocation, including labor, materials, and equipment, is essential. Understanding each project's specific needs and ensuring that resources are distributed effectively can prevent bottlenecks and delays. Implement a project management tool to track tasks, deadlines, and progress across multiple projects. Tools like Trello or as simple as a whiteboard can help you stay organized and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Avoid overcommitting and assess resource availability before taking on new projects to ensure you can deliver on time and within budget. 3. Streamline Processes Prioritize tasks based on project deadlines, client demands, and resource availability. Develop a comprehensive schedule that allocates time for each project, considering factors such as material procurement, subcontractor availability, and potential delays. Standardizing processes and using technology to streamline project management tasks can increase efficiency. Again, project management software and tools can help track progress, manage documents, and coordinate teams across different sites. 4. Communicate Effectively Maintain open communication with clients, subcontractors, and your internal team. Regular updates and progress reports can help everyone stay informed and aligned, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or miscommunication. Effective communication is paramount when managing multiple projects. Regular updates, team meetings, and clear communication channels ensure everyone is aligned and aware of their responsibilities across different projects. 5. Review and Adapt Review your organizational processes regularly and adapt based on project feedback and lessons learned. Continuous improvement is essential for refining your approach and maximizing efficiency. Being agile and adaptable to changes is essential when managing several projects concurrently. Anticipating potential issues and having contingency plans can help you navigate unforeseen obstacles without significant disruptions. Maintaining consistent quality across all projects is non-negotiable. Implementing robust quality control processes and regular site inspections can help uphold the company's reputation and ensure client satisfaction. By implementing these organizational strategies, you can effectively manage and deliver multiple construction projects while maintaining high quality and client satisfaction standards. But remember yourself and your crew. Managing multiple projects can strain the workforce. Prioritizing employee well-being, managing workloads, and providing adequate support can prevent burnout and maintain productivity. What about the paperwork? Contractors call us to ask about managing bookkeeping and accounting for multiple projects. Though it may seem overwhelming, it can be straightforward with the right approach: Here are some valuable tips to help contractors effectively handle the financial aspects of their projects. 1. Utilize Project-Based Accounting Software Investing in project-based accounting software can significantly simplify managing multiple projects. These tools allow contractors to track expenses, income, and project-specific details in one centralized system, providing a comprehensive overview of each project's financial status. 2. Establish Clear Project Budgets By outlining each project's expected costs and revenue, contractors can better control their finances and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. 3. Track Expenses Accurately It's essential to meticulously track all project-related expenses, including material costs, labor expenses, equipment rentals, and subcontractor fees. By maintaining accurate records of expenditures, contractors can monitor project profitability and identify areas for cost optimization. 4. Separate Business and Project Finances Contractors should maintain separate bank accounts and financial records for each project to avoid commingling funds. This separation simplifies financial reporting, ensures transparency, and minimizes the risk of errors or discrepancies in accounting records. 5. Implement Time Tracking Systems Tracking billable hours and labor costs for each project is crucial for accurate invoicing and financial analysis. Implementing time-tracking systems allows contractors to monitor labor expenses, allocate costs to specific projects, and assess the profitability of each endeavor. 6. Regularly Reconcile Accounts Regularly reconciling bank and credit card accounts is essential for identifying discrepancies, detecting errors, and maintaining financial accuracy. Timely reconciliation provides contractors with a clear understanding of their cash flow and helps prevent financial mismanagement. 7. Seek Professional Guidance Contractors should consider consulting with a professional accountant or financial advisor for complex accounting tasks and tax implications associated with multiple projects. Expert guidance can ensure compliance with tax regulations, optimize financial processes, and provide valuable insights for business growth. Unfortunately, many small construction business owners seek to keep costs low by doing everything themselves, unwittingly sabotaging their company's financial stability. If numbers aren't your strength and you would instead focus on building your business, it's time to hire a bookkeeper. Ensure you choose a bookkeeper with experience in your industry. The nuances of bookkeeping vary from one corner of the market to another. When assessing candidates, it's essential to consider the total number of years of experience and the relevance of that experience. We can provide you with expertise, guidance, and savings. We are experts at managing, sorting, and recording your construction business's financial transactions, whether you're working on a single project at a time or multiple job sites. We've spent time developing our skills and experience. During this time, we've also seen and resolved bookkeeping-related issues that you may encounter. Our expertise makes us efficient at managing those issues.

In summary While managing multiple construction projects presents challenges, adopting a strategic and organized approach can turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and success. Small construction companies can overcome the struggles of handling multiple projects concurrently by prioritizing planning, effective communication, efficient resource management, and a strong focus on quality. A well-organized financial approach facilitates project success and lays the groundwork for sustainable business growth.
