Your business is doing $10M in revenue, but how much are you actually keeping?

Industry data shows builders with $10M+ in revenue had a median net profit margin of 9% in 2025. The bigger question is how your business compares and where margin could be slipping away.

From change order leakage and inaccurate estimates to subcontractor overruns, small misses can add up quickly as you take on more work. See what a healthy margin can look like and where to start looking for opportunities to protect yours:

This week, we’re celebrating the people who build more than homes and communities. They build businesses, careers and a stronger future for our industry.

From builders and remodelers to trades, suppliers and the teams behind every project, your work shapes the homes, businesses and communities around us.

We are proud to work alongside an industry that continues to build, grow and move forward every day.

Happy National Construction Appreciation Week!

Growth has a way of exposing what used to work.

As construction businesses take on larger projects, manage more jobs and build bigger teams, processes that once felt manageable can quickly become constraints.

For established builders, the question isn’t simply whether there’s more work available. It’s whether the operation behind the work is prepared to handle more complexity without sacrificing margin, visibility or control.

Our “Built to Scale” playbook focuses on three areas that become increasingly important as a construction business grows: capacity, systems and financial strength.

It also includes a Scale Health Check to help you identify where your operation is ready for what’s next and where growth may be putting pressure on the business.

Growth is exciting, but it can also expose the systems, processes and financial blind spots that were easier to manage when the business was smaller.

We’re breaking down where growing construction businesses get stuck and how to build an operation that can handle what’s next.

There’s a difference between using AI and building a business that’s ready for it.

For many construction companies, AI still means opening a separate tool, gathering project information from multiple places, providing the context and asking it to complete a task. At that point, the technology may be helping, but your team is still doing much of the work.

The bigger opportunity is AI that already understands the context of the business. Schedules, budgets, jobsite updates, photos, financials and client communication working together so AI can surface information before someone has to go looking for it.

That’s where the conversation around AI in construction is headed.

Not replacing the judgment and expertise of great construction professionals, but giving them better information earlier, removing repetitive work and helping teams move from reacting to what already happened to preparing for what’s next.

As Buildertrend customer Adam Copenhaver puts it: “The gap is: are you using it, or are you integrating it?” For established builders, that distinction will matter more as AI becomes a bigger part of how construction businesses operate.

The question is no longer simply whether your company uses AI. It’s whether your business and its systems are ready to make AI genuinely useful.

See how we’re helping builders turn AI into real business value, from greater efficiency to better visibility across every job.
