Wins

Problems and what we learned
Timber and steel costs rose faster than our quotes. We need price review clauses in contracts.
Customers and market
Three clients asked about solar panels. A competitor opened in the north.
Risks to watch
Supplier delays, a shortage of skilled bricklayers, and a late-paying client owing EUR 85,000.
Priorities for next quarter
1. Raise margin to 17 percent with fixed supplier prices.
2. Hire two bricklayers.
3. Win 6 new clients.
4. Collect all debts over 60 days.
Decisions needed
Approve EUR 40,000 for the new site software.
