Review estimates against actual labour, materials, subcontractors and equipment costs for completed jobs. Recalculate margins after callbacks, warranty work and owner labour, then test whether current pricing covers recent input-cost increases.

Inspect signed contracts, deposits, completion percentages, committed materials and remaining costs job by job. Exclude speculative quotes and allocate profit, customer cash and responsibility for unfinished or disputed work in the agreement.

Requirements vary with grading, drainage, retaining walls, decks, irrigation and tree work. Verify municipal permits and ensure crews obtain required underground utility locates before excavation, including when another contractor requested them.

Confirm insurance, workplace-safety clearance, trade qualifications, tax status and written scopes for regular subcontractors. Review unpaid invoices, lien exposure, deficiencies and whether profitable projects depend on subcontractors who may not continue.

Confirm ownership and permitted use of plans, renderings, templates, customer photographs, testimonials and website content. Obtain written assignments where employees, designers, photographers or subcontractors created material used to win new projects.

List outstanding warranties, deficiencies, holdbacks, disputes and seasonal completion promises for every project. Estimate correction costs and ensure the purchase agreement assigns pre-closing workmanship claims, customer deposits and retained amounts clearly.
