Good Cop, Bad Cop

It starts innocently enough.

The client walks past the excavator and says to your foreman: 

"Hey mate, while you're there, can you just scrape back that topsoil over in the corner? Take you ten minutes."

Your foreman is a good bloke. He wants to be helpful… "No worries."

Fast forward three months. You’ve done fifty "little favours," moved a couple of swimming pools of dirt for free, and blown your fuel budget. And you’ve got zero paperwork to prove it was a variation.

Scope creep is the silent killer of margins, and it doesn’t matter what size job you’re on. 

At The Bench, we play the ‘Bad Cop’ so you don't have to. We’re the ones who say, “Yeah sure, happy to do it, just sign off on this Variation Order first."

We ensure that if the machine moves, the money moves with it.

Stop working for free. Get a Bench Warmer on the team.
