2026 T2 Construction Manager Analysis
Jobs, inspection timeliness, QC, return fixes and misc work — per CM, for every job whose major tasks finished in the period.

QC coverage and timeliness by completion month
For the jobs whose major tasks finished in each month: the dashed grey line is the share that have any QC record; the solid line is, of those, the share QC’d within 1 business day. Company-wide, all cohort jobs.

How these numbers are built
- The cohort. Every job whose Major Tasks Completion Date falls between May 1 and August 31, 2026 — 227 jobs. That is what the job export was filtered to, and it is the whole population here: every inspection, QC record, return fix and misc task on those jobs counts, whatever its own date.
- Job credit. A job counts once for its Construction Manager of Record. Where the CM changed after the 4-Way the job is split 0.5 to each, revenue too.
- Business days everywhere. Every gap is counted Mon–Fri, so a Saturday finish never counts against anyone. Public holidays are not modelled.
- Inspection on time = the first entry in the CM Inspection Log was recorded within 2 business days of the task’s completion. Only the earliest log entry counts.
- Office-entered inspections are excluded. 27 inspections on cohort jobs were keyed in by the Cascade IT account rather than a CM; they are dropped from every inspection figure. Return fixes and misc tasks are unaffected.
- QC comes from two systems. Cascade moved to the new QC Checkoff system in late July 2026. A job counts as QC’d if it has a completed checkoff (first one per job; both “Completed” and “Punchlist Items In Progress” mean the walk happened) or, where present, an old-system QC Walk date. In this cohort: 100 jobs from the new system, 0 from the old. 100 of the 123 checkoff rows belong to cohort jobs; the rest are other jobs or blank test rows.
- QC’d % is the share of a CM’s jobs with any QC record. QC on time is measured only over jobs that were QC’d: within 1 business day of major-tasks completion. Read the first before the second.
- Return fixes are raised when a crew got something wrong during the normal task and the inspection did not catch it. They read as inspection quality. 9 are still open and are dated today.
- The task type behind a return fix is inferred, not recorded. A return-fix record names only the job and the crew; the same job plus the same crew identifies the task. 43 of 58 resolve to a single type outright; the rest use the most recent task that crew finished on the job before the fix. Treat the hover breakdown as a strong indication of where rework clusters.
- Misc tasks are “Misc. Work” tasks — extra work outside standard scope. They come from the inspections export, so they are also counted in Task inspections.
- Volume floor. A CM is scored with at least 5 credited jobs and 30 inspections; everyone below is listed under the table with raw counts. The floor is lower than the rolling report’s because a four-month cohort is smaller.
Read this before leaning on any QC figure.
127 of the 227 cohort jobs (56%) have no QC record in either system, and the gap is not random: all 30 jobs that finished major tasks in May or June have none — they are 40–90 business days old. The old system’s QC Walk field is blank on every cohort job, and none of the 1,847 old-system QC Walk task records match a cohort job. Either those jobs were never QC’d, or the old system’s records for them did not make it into these exports. Until that is settled, the QC on-time figures describe late-July-onward jobs only.
Two more things to know.
1. The cohort is heavily back-loaded: 174 of 227 jobs (77%) finished major tasks in August, ramping week by week through the month. 2026 T2 is effectively August plus a tail.
2. Inspections on cohort jobs run from December 2025 to September 2026, because work on a job starts well before its major tasks finish. All of them count — the cohort is defined by the job, not by the inspection date.
