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.
Built September 9, 2026 from exports dated September 9, 2026 · Owner: Ed Marshall <ed@cascade.build>
2026 T2 · May 1 – August 31, 2026 · 227 jobs
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.
- Reorders are purchase orders raised to order material again on a cohort job — 512 of them, for reasons of Short (stolen, damaged or not enough ordered) or Plan error (not ordered correctly on the original order). Counted per job and normalised per credited job; $ is the unvoided PO total with tax. Every PO on a cohort job counts, whatever its date.
- Cycle time is business days from Major Tasks Start Date to Major Tasks Completion Date, shown as a median per CM. 21 jobs are left out because both dates are stamped the same day — a rollup artifact in how the start date is derived, not a one-day build. A shared job counts toward both CMs’ medians.
- 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 the complete export of its QC Walk tasks — 2,482 tasks, 2,415 of them completed — holds no completed walk on any cohort job. 19 cohort jobs have a walk task that was created but never completed (3 of them May/June jobs); the other 208 have no walk task at all. These jobs were not QC’d under the old system. The QC on-time figures therefore 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.
