LV Construction — operations at a glance
A snapshot of the active construction book, contract backlog, and year-to-date financial performance across the Six Peak Construction LA portfolio. Eleven jobs are in the book — five under construction, two that submitted first pay applications in July (Francis and Riverton), two mobilizing, and two pending capitalization (Scott & Klump) — against $131.4M of current contract value and a $93.3M backlog now that the Francis and Riverton contracts are carried in the KPI workbook.
New-work pipeline — $160.4M in pursuit
Seven projects totaling 834 units are in active pursuit, all priced with the LV ROM estimator off the committed-bid library. Beverly — a 94-unit market-rate bid sourced by Tom Taggart — anchors the private-side pipeline, and the HVN relationship has produced six projects: four deals holding CTCAC LIHTC awards (tax-credit awards to HVN — LV has issued GC bids, with Dickens, Moorpark and Riverton as the primary targets), plus a 75-unit private deal and a 340-unit estimate.
| Project | Program | Units | GSF | ROM Hard Cost | $/SF | $/Unit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beverly 4623 · Tom Taggart | Market-rate (12 ELI) · Tavakoli | 94 | 102,131 | $25.03M | $245 | $266K | Bid Submitted · VE |
| Dickens (Sherman Oaks) | HVN · CTCAC 4% LIHTC | 75 | 55,518 | $15.32M | $276 | $204K | LIHTC Award · LV Target |
| Moorpark (Studio City) | HVN · CTCAC 4% LIHTC | 102 | 65,935 | $18.44M | $280 | $181K | LIHTC Award · LV Target |
| Riverton 5642 (NoHo) | HVN · CTCAC 4% LIHTC | 75 | 36,483 | $11.32M | $310 | $151K | LIHTC Award · LV Target |

| Total | 834 | 597,752 | $160.44M | $268 | $192K |
ROM hard-cost values from LV ROM Engine v2.1.3 client estimates: Beverly issued 7/22/26; HVN Round 2 awarded-4 portfolio re-run 7/12/26 ($57.04M across 325 units, $287/SF avg); Troost and Farralone issued 7/30/26. All figures are rough-order-of-magnitude benchmarks from LV’s committed-bid history — not GMPs or contractual bids. “LIHTC Award” denotes HVN’s CTCAC 4% tax-credit award on the project — not an LV contract award; LV has issued GC bids on all four. LV’s primary targets are Dickens, Moorpark and Riverton, which cluster in the Valley near LV’s active jobs; Federal (West LA) sits outside that cluster and is a lower-priority pursuit. All four are 100% affordable, Type IIIA, non-prevailing-wage basis, bonded.
The active construction book
Eleven jobs totaling $131.4M of current contract value. Crenshaw is in wrap-up; Ramsgate, Califa, Whipple and Nelrose are mid-build; Francis and Riverton have submitted first pay applications; Lexington and Acama are mobilizing; Scott and Klump are pending capitalization. Percent billed against percent complete — the over/under-billing view the June pack was missing — is now in the table.
| Job | Current Contract | Billed to Date | Backlog | % Billed | % Complete | Over / (Under) | Job End | Status |

Current Contract = Original Contract + Net Change Orders ($0.41M across the book). Backlog = Current Contract − Billed to Date. Francis and Riverton are now carried at contract value in the KPI workbook (the June pack showed them as pending buyout); Lexington and Acama have not completed buyout; Scott and Klump are pending capitalization and carry mobilization entries only. % Billed is billed-to-date over current contract; % Complete is cost-to-date over current budget; Over / (Under) is the difference in points — positive means billed ahead of cost. Ramsgate is the one to watch at -4.7 points under-billed. Job-end dates are the model completion months; Crenshaw’s KPI record still shows July 2026 and its schedule shows substantial completion December 1.
Job financial results · YTD & job-to-date
Profit and loss by job for fiscal-year-to-date 2026 and over the full life of each project. The book is running a 14% gross margin and a 8% net margin year-to-date, 15% gross / 7% net on a job-to-date basis. Both are flattered by July: Francis booked $932K of revenue against $22K of cost, $839K of it the bond line billed before the surety premium and the Krueger payment were recorded. Excluding Francis, YTD is 12% gross and 6% net.

Source: 07.2026 Consolidated Financials (KPI). Francis and Riverton submitted their first pay applications in July ($932K and $355K of recognized revenue). On Francis $839K of the $852K billed is the bond line, billed at 100%; the $314K CBI premium (invoiced August 4, bond effective August 10) and the $366K cash due to Krueger when the bond line funds both post in August, so most of the job’s $910K gross profit is timing. Riverton’s $400K is bonding ($212K billed against a $104K budget), demolition ($74K, fully costed), the elevator deposit and mobilization. That is why both flip from a loss in June to a profit here; the job-level workbook carries a deferred-revenue adjustment on each job (Francis +$80K, Whipple ($93K), Nelrose ($79K), Riverton ($45K)) that bridges billings-based margin to the recognized figures shown. Lexington and Acama show only mobilization overhead; Scott and Klump have de minimis entries and no job-to-date history yet.
Project buyout · cost certainty across the book
How much of each job's budget is locked into executed subcontracts and purchase orders — and how much remains exposed to market pricing. The four reporting jobs are 82% bought out in aggregate, with $12.2M still open to buy, concentrated at Riverton.
| Job | Units | Budget | Committed | Remaining to Buy | % Bought Out | Δ vs Prior Mo | As Of | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whipple | 91 | $15.35M | $14.08M | $1.27M | 91.7% | +5.2 pts | Jul 2026 | Nearly Bought |
| Califa | 76 | $13.43M | $12.19M | $1.23M | 90.8% | +5.6 pts | Jul 2026 | Nearly Bought |
| Ramsgate | 116 | $26.12M | $23.85M | $2.27M | 91.3% | — | Apr 2026 | Nearly Bought |

| Total | 363 | $69.23M | $57.04M | $12.18M | 82.4% | — | — |
Budget = total job budget per each job's Buyout Report; Committed = executed subcontracts and POs; % Bought Out = Committed ÷ Budget, as reported in each workbook. Whipple and Califa each added ~5 points of buyout during July. Ramsgate and Riverton report in the richer PM-report format (invoiced, cost-to-complete, projected final cost); standardizing all jobs on one template is recommended so this table rolls up mechanically. Crenshaw (wrap-up) and Nelrose are excluded pending current reports.
Staffing & payroll allocation
On booked actuals, staffing averaged ~$196K/month January through July 2026 ($1.37M total; July $216K); the seven-month average smooths biweekly pay-period timing, including May's three-period month. As Francis and Riverton mobilize in August, Lexington in September and Acama in November, the Base Case roster steps up to a projected ~$286K/month across 25 people: payroll grows with the book, not ahead of it. People are shared across jobs, so per-job counts below overlap; unique headcount was last confirmed at 21.
| Job / Function | People on Job | Monthly Payroll | % of Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crenshaw | 5 | $20,973 | 10% |
| Ramsgate | 9 | $35,231 | 16% |

Sources: 07.2026 Consolidated Financials (STAFFING) and the Base Case model (Actuals + Personnel, Jul 24 roster). “People on Job” counts everyone who charged time to that job in July; individuals appear on multiple jobs (61 job-assignments across the book), so the column intentionally does not total to unique headcount (21). Average: booked payroll (5000-1000) Jan through Jul was $144.6K / $150.7K / $178.9K / $187.7K / $295.9K / $198.6K / $215.9K, averaging $196.0K/month; the average smooths biweekly pay-period timing (May carried three pay periods). Projection: the Base Case Personnel roster has Francis and Riverton-Denny mobilizing August 2026, Lexington September 2026 (moved from August at the July close) and Acama November 2026 (moved from September on August 23); from September the roster carries 25 people at ~$286K/month on a salary basis ($268K field / $18K corporate; the roster shows 29 lines because Grady LaKamp, Joe LaKamp, Pedro Rosalas and Greg Smith are each split between field and office/G&A allocations), rising to ~$297K and 26 people in December when the Francis APM joins, then settling at ~$276K and 25 people from January 2027 after a planned year-end departure. No headcount reduction occurred at any point.

July 31, 2026 financials — LV Construction & Six Peak Capital
Seven months of 2026 actuals (January–July, Yardi close) for both entities, with cash positions at July 31. The GC is profitable and accelerating; Six Peak corporate carries the platform burn that the fee and BD programs are built to cover. Consolidated year-to-date nets to $1.20M on the entity ledgers, of which $1.33M is July alone — a month that carries $0.84M of the Francis bond line billed to the owner before the premium and the Krueger payment were recorded. The full-year Base Case stands at $0.51M because the models still carry July job margin on the billing curve rather than the ledger; see the basis note below.

Revenue ramp tracks the book mobilizing: $1.45M in January to $7.03M in July, of which $1.25M is the first Francis and Riverton pay applications in a single month. February's negative gross profit reflects trade-cost timing on early-cycle billing; May net income was compressed by the third biweekly payroll period and a $74K warranty adjustment. April GC overhead ($73K) looks far lower than the other months (roughly $260K to $438K) because of a one-time $251K credit: payroll for self-performed trade work was reclassified out of overhead and into job costs, where it belongs as a cost of the work. Before that credit, April overhead was ~$325K, right in line with March and June; nothing was cut. May carries a smaller $82K credit of the same kind, masked by its third biweekly payroll period. July gross profit of $1.77M is the item to read carefully: $1.15M of it is margin on trade billing (a 18% spread on $6.41M of trade billing against a book that normally runs near zero on trades), driven by the first Francis and Riverton pay applications. $839K of the Francis billing and $212K of Riverton’s is the bond line, recorded as revenue in July; the surety premiums ($314K Francis, $104K Riverton already booked) and the ~$694K due to Krueger under the bonding program post in August, where the models already carry them, so on a matched basis the two bond lines are roughly a wash and about $0.95M of July’s gross profit is timing. The job-level KPI workbook already carries an $80K deferred-revenue adjustment on Francis and ($45K) on Riverton.

Recurring SP revenue is fee income (Edgemont management fee, Ramsgate and Crenshaw development fees, ~$34K/month). June includes a $299K non-cash revenue item and a $54K interest/tax/amortization true-up, which turn the month positive; July carries the first $44K of 12th & Fir developer fee. The underlying run rate is roughly ($120K) to ($160K) a month — the burn the Uplifters and BD fee programs are designed to cover. Note the July close removed the Six Peak-to-LV overhead allocation from the projection entirely: it was never booked in either ledger, so these entity figures are the true split.
Board questions — answered from the current data
This appendix responds to the questions raised ahead of the August board call: what in the HVN relationship is actually signed, funded and on site; cash today and over the next thirteen weeks; budget versus actuals; WIP and retention; the Krueger wage-compliance issue; a tracker for deals where Six Peak holds a stake or promote; and the job-level dashboards, risk register and warranty reporting that the pack does not yet carry.
Short answer: five jobs in the book are HVN work already committed to LV — Califa and Whipple building today, and Lexington, Riverton and Acama contracted and awaiting their LIHTC closings. Those three are committed work, not pursuits: the GMPs are set, pre-construction buyout is running, and the only thing between them and ground-break is the tax-credit closing — the developer’s and syndicator’s process, not ours. The six HVN projects on the Pipeline tab are pursuits, not awards: the “LIHTC Award” label there refers to HVN’s CTCAC 4% tax-credit award on the deal, not an LV contract award. The table below is the definitive list the pack was missing — every job in the book against the same five-stage ladder.

Status ladder built from the Active Projects tab and the Base Case model Projects sheet (contract value, start month, bonding). Five jobs in the book are HVN: Califa and Whipple are under construction and bonded through the ICON National / Travelers program; Lexington, Riverton and Acama are committed to LV and waiting on LIHTC closings — $48.6M of contracted GMP that converts to billing as those closings occur. The six HVN projects on the Pipeline tab (Dickens, Moorpark, Riverton 5642, Federal, Troost, Farralone — $135.4M of ROM value across 740 units) carry no signed LV contract and no LV award; four of them hold CTCAC 4% LIHTC awards granted to HVN as developer, against which LV has issued GC bids. This column will be carried forward on every pack so the signed / funded / on-site distinction is explicit rather than inferred.
| Start | Modeled Start | Gating Contingency | Visibility We Have | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Francis | Aug 2026 | Resolved. Closed August 13, 2026; construction started in August. First pay application submitted in July ($852K, of which $839K is the bond line; bond effective August 10). | Closing tracked directly with the lender and syndicator; carry cost of ~$25K/month is booked and visible monthly. Each month of slip = ($163K) FY26 NI and ($155K) FY26 cash. | Green |
| Riverton HVN | Aug 2026 | LIHTC closing, plus the largest open cost exposure in the book — 48.3% bought out with $7.41M still to buy. | Monthly Buyout Report in the richer PM format (invoiced, cost-to-complete, projected final cost). Buyout is the item to watch, not the close. | Red |
| Lexington HVN | Sep 2026 | LIHTC closing. Committed to LV; pre-construction buyout is running ahead of ground-break. | Pre-con buyout log; GMP trued to $12.99M this cycle. No adverse signals as of the June close. | Amber |
| Acama HVN | Nov 2026 | LIHTC closing plus bonding — Acama sits in the Tier 2 bonding band (3.25% rate vs 0.72–0.74% on the Tier 1 jobs), so bond cost is a live GMP input. | Pre-con buyout running; bonding tier and rate carried explicitly in the model. Surety capacity confirmed through the ICON/Travelers program. | Amber |
| Klump & Scott | Jan 2027 | Equity. Both are ED1 projects nearing RTI and require ~$1.5M of combined preferred equity to fully capitalize; that raise is live. | Now inside the Base Case at a January 2027 start (moved from October 2026 on August 23). Not bonded, so no surety dependency. | Amber |
The honest read: every near-term start is gated on a third-party LIHTC or lender closing, not on LV readiness. Lexington, Riverton and Acama are committed HVN work with GMPs set and buyout underway — the wait is the tax-credit closing calendar, not the contracts. Buyout, staffing and pre-construction are ahead of the closings on all four. The exposure that is genuinely ours to manage is Riverton’s $7.41M of unbought scope, which is priced against a GMP that was set before the current market.

Thirteen weeks from Monday August 3 runs to November 1, so the window is the August, September and October model months. Figures are the Base Case cash roll-forward (LV ending cash + Six Peak ending cash), re-opened on August 28 at the actual July 31 bank balances of $405,563 — $506,455 below the $912,018 the June pack projected for that date. The August column carries the whole July 31 working-capital unwind in one month: $9,463,439 of receivables collected, ($8,434,511) of payables paid, $1,028,928 net. The LV-to-Six-Peak liquidating distribution the June build counted as cash is a non-cash item and was taken out of the cash build on August 29. That is an assumption about timing, not a forecast of August collections, and it is what lifts the balance from $405,563 to $1,400,677. Six Peak on its own goes negative in August and stays there, because the July close removed the Six Peak-to-LV overhead allocation from the projection; on the entity roll-forward LV funds it. The “Total Ending Cash” defect noted in the June pack was corrected in the August 23 model rebuild; the summary line now ties to the entity roll-forward.
| Trigger | Size | What it does to cash | Watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six Peak development-fee timing | SP cash ($13.3K) (Aug) → ($278.4K) (Oct) → ($565.0K) (Dec) | Not overspend — timing, and now visible from August rather than December because Six Peak carries its full payroll. Six Peak carries the development work on the LIHTC projects (Francis, Deharo, Reseda, 3rd St) years before any of them pays a developer fee. That cost is expensed as incurred while the fee income sits in 2029 and beyond, so the entity runs negative through the back half of 2026 on the Base Case unless LV funds it. LV (GC) cash is comfortable throughout once the July 31 receivables collect. | Aug 2026 |
| Another month of Francis delay | ($155K) cash · ($163K) NI per month | Straight reduction in FY26 ending cash and ~$1.1M of billing pushed out of the year — and it extends the period Six Peak funds Francis development work with no fee against it. | Live |
| The July 31 receivables do not all collect in August | $9.46M AR · $8.43M AP | The roll-forward assumes every July 31 receivable is collected and every payable paid inside August, for a net $1.03M inflow. If owner draws lag the sub payments by even a few weeks, August runs materially below the $1.40M shown. This is the single largest assumption in the 13 weeks and should be replaced by an actual AR aging. | Monthly |
| Crenshaw retention release slips | $77,191 · assumed collected Nov 2026 | The only retention release inside 2026. If closeout runs past November, the November and December balances are that much thinner at exactly the point the Six Peak balance is at its thinnest. | Nov 2026 |
| The SP-to-LV payroll allocation — now removed | ~$104K/month · ($1.25M/yr) | The June pack assumed ~$104K/month of Six Peak payroll allocated into LV job cost. It was never booked in either ledger, and at the July close it was set to zero in the projection; the mechanism stays in the model. The Six Peak burn is therefore ~$133K/month on the roll-forward, the entity goes negative in August, and LV carries it. No allocation is assumed until one is actually booked. | Settled in model |
| Riverton buyout comes in over budget | $7.41M open to buy | Every point of adverse buyout on the unbought scope is a direct hit to job gross profit and therefore to LV cash as the job bills. | Through 2026 |
| Tax distributions | Modeled at $0 for 2026 | The roll-forward assumes no 30% tax distribution is made in 2026. Any distribution comes straight off the balances above. | Policy call |

Retention from the Base Case Retention tab (5% of LV fee revenue, release at each job’s completion month); the tab was not rolled forward at the July close, so the held-today column is still the June figure. The July draw sheets show gross retention held by owners of $1.61M across the seven billing jobs (Crenshaw $469K, Ramsgate $591K, Califa $230K, Whipple $228K, Nelrose $81K, Francis and Riverton under $10K) — the gross figure includes retention LV in turn holds on its subcontractors. WIP by job — contract value, billed to date, backlog and percent complete — is on the Active Projects tab; margin by job on a YTD and job-to-date basis is on Financial Results; committed-versus-budget cost certainty is on Project Buyout. The over/under-billing view by job — percent billed against percent complete — is now on the Active Projects tab from the July KPI workbook; Ramsgate is 4.7 points under-billed and Crenshaw 1.5 points, everything else is within a point. A full earned-revenue WIP schedule with dollar over/under-billings is the remaining piece; the KPI workbook already holds every input it needs.
As promised in the June pack, the comparison is now against the real anchor: the November 2025 approved budget for 2026, carried on the Budget tab of every model with a Budget vs Actual tab that computes the variance line by line for every closed month. Variance is actual less budget; favorable is positive. The former “Original Budget” (a frozen reforecast seeded with Q1 actuals) is retained as Reforecast Q1 2026 and no longer drives this exhibit.

Three things to read from this. First, the GC is ahead of budget on margin, not volume. Revenue is ($833,257) behind the November plan year-to-date, but gross profit is $1,077,597 ahead and overhead $223,147 under, so GC net income is $1,300,744 ahead of a $752,933 budget. July alone is $1,213,201 ahead, and most of that is the Francis bond line billed before its August costs. Second, Six Peak is $267,250 behind budget, almost entirely on expenses (($521,065)): the budget assumed $410,781 of Six Peak payroll would be allocated to LV over seven months and it never was, and consultants and professional fees run well over plan; Six Peak revenue is $201,109 ahead on the June non-cash item and the 12th & Fir fee. Third, consolidated is $1,033,494 ahead of budget on the entity ledgers — but the models, which carry July job margin on the curve, show consolidated $242,368 behind. The gap is the July true-up question on the 7/31 Financials tab. The budget itself carries a known $7,042 internal inconsistency on the allocation line, documented and deliberately not restated.
What he raised
On July 14 Justin asked whether LV runs weekly certified payroll on all projects, describing it as no longer optional given union pressure on general contractors in California. The underlying exposure is California Labor Code 218.8 / 218.9: on private work, the general contractor is liable for a subcontractor’s unpaid wages and fringe benefits. Unions have been approaching non-union subcontractors’ workers, finding compensation defects and suing the sub and the GC. None of LV’s jobs are prevailing-wage, so certified payroll in the formal sense does not apply — but the wage liability does.
How we addressed it
We engaged Greg Korbel of Miller, Morton, Caillat & Nevis and met on July 17. His read: the GC cannot escape liability for a sub’s unpaid wages, but penalties and liquidated damages — which exceed the wages themselves — are avoidable if the contractor monitors sub payroll, acts on any failure, and obtains a sworn affidavit before final payment. LV’s subcontracts already carry the right to demand this documentation and to withhold payment until it is produced.
Legal cost for the review was billed to 2859 Francis. This item is carried as a portfolio-level entry on the risk register below, rated amber until the paystub-and-affidavit procedure is confirmed live across every active subcontract rather than newly executed ones.

Sourced from the Base Case model — the Projects tab flags each job as “GC + Developer” or “3rd Party GC”, and the Six Peak revenue block carries each fee line by month. Califa, Whipple, Nelrose, Lexington, Riverton and Acama are third-party GC contracts with no Six Peak development position. Important framing on the LIHTC lines: these four developments — Francis, Deharo, Reseda and 3rd St — require more development work than anything else in the portfolio and pay no developer fee today; the modeled distributions do not begin until 2029. On top of that, under the current rate and tax-credit environment the Steyn cost of capital absorbs most of the early LIHTC distributions, so through FY2033 the net contribution of the strategy is close to zero — the meaningful development-fee income lands after 2033. This is the single biggest reason the Six Peak entity P&L reads negative while the underlying book grows. The life-of-deal figures above are gross Six Peak share, before that Steyn absorption. This table becomes a standing exhibit and will carry actual-versus-projected columns once Deharo and any other omitted positions are confirmed.
What was lost
The earlier draft pack carried two job-level exhibits that this portal does not: a WIP report with job-level KPIs (contract value, change orders, CO ratio, % billed, % complete, YTD and JTD gross and net margin, % buyout, buyout savings and savings ratio by job) and a metrics dashboard of backlog/burn, book-to-bill, bid pipeline and hit rate, DSO, PM retention, client concentration and bonding capacity. They were dropped when the portal was rebuilt on live data — those exhibits were built with placeholder values, and the rebuild took the position that nothing goes in the pack unless it is sourced.
What comes back, and live
The job-level WIP and KPI table returns in full: every column in that exhibit except change-order win rate is already computable from the KPI workbook and the monthly Buyout Reports. On the metrics dashboard, backlog/burn, book-to-bill, bid pipeline, hit rate, client concentration and bonding capacity are all derivable today. DSO, PM retention and change-order win rate are not — they need a receivables aging feed and a change-order log that does not exist yet. Those three will be shown as “not yet instrumented” rather than filled with an estimate.
Operational Metrics today carries one aggregate safety box. Below is the first pass at the job-level register, rated only where there is data behind the rating. It will be maintained monthly and expanded — schedule variance in particular needs a baseline-versus-current schedule feed that is not yet in the reporting pack.
| Job | Safety | Cost / Buyout | Schedule | Financing | Margin | Driver of the worst rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crenshaw | G | G | A | G | G | 80% complete, substantial completion December 1 per the July 28 schedule — closeout and the $77K retention release are the open items |
| Ramsgate | G | A | G | G | G | 91.3% bought out, but the buyout report is April-vintage — data currency, not cost concern |
| Califa | G | G | G | G | G | 90.8% bought out, 5% YTD net margin, on schedule — no flags |
| Whipple | G | G | G | G | G | 91.7% bought out, 8% job-to-date net margin — the strongest job in the book |
| Nelrose | G | A | G | G | A | (1%) YTD and (6%) job-to-date net margin on a $4.2M job; no current buyout report |
| Francis | n/a | A | A | G | A | Closed August 13, construction started in August; first pay application of $852K booked in July, $839K of it the bond line with the $314K premium and the Krueger payment landing in August — watch the August job P&L for the reversal |
| Riverton | n/a | R | A | A | n/a | 48.3% bought out with $7.41M still open to market pricing — the book’s largest cost exposure |
| Lexington | n/a | A | A | A | n/a | Pre-construction buyout in progress; start moved to September 2026, contingent on close |
| Acama | n/a | A | A | A | n/a | Tier 2 bonding at a 3.25% rate versus 0.72–0.74% elsewhere in the book — bond cost is a live GMP input |
| Portfolio · wage compliance | A | — | — | — | — | Labor Code 218.8/218.9 procedure agreed and in rollout; amber until confirmed live across every active subcontract |
Ratings: G = no action required; A = watch item with a named owner; R = escalated, on the board agenda. Safety ratings reflect the monthly third-party inspections by Safety Compliance Company at each active site — the latest filed (Ramsgate, June 16) covered 52 items with 39 satisfactory and zero unsatisfactory findings, so every active site rates green on safety — July inspection reports were not in Box when this pack was built; jobs not yet on site are not rated. Cost/buyout is rated from each job’s Buyout Report; margin from the Financial Results tab; financing from the closing status above. Schedule is rated conservatively from percent-complete against modeled job end, because a proper baseline-versus-current schedule feed is not yet part of the monthly reporting — instrumenting that is the main gap in this register.

It is online today, but only as a single blended general-ledger account — 5900-1040, Warranty and Other Job Adjustments. January through July booked $100,766, or 0.35% of the $28.53M of revenue, against a model assumption of $5,000/month; nothing was booked in June or July. The May charge of $73,874 is the item that moved the month and is called out in the June 30 financials.
What that account cannot tell you: which job the cost belongs to, whether it was warranty callback, rework of defective work, or an unrelated job adjustment, and whether it was recoverable from a subcontractor. A rate of 0.35% is well inside a normal range for a GC — but the number is not yet reliable enough to manage against, because a single account that mixes three cost types will not show a trend until it is split.
The change: split 5900-1040 into job-coded warranty, rework and other-adjustment codes, add a callback log at closeout, and report warranty and rework as a percentage of completed revenue by job with a target under 1%. Crenshaw closing out in the fourth quarter is the first job that will produce a clean full-cycle warranty figure.
