Operational Partners for Construction · Contractors · Engineering · AEC

The project moves. The margin shouldn’t bleed.

Whetstone embeds senior operators inside contractors, engineering and AEC firms to control change orders, protect cash flow, and keep projects on schedule and budget — so thin margins survive contact with the field. Business-side only: we never touch engineering sign-off or site safety.

⛰  Business-side only. We fix controls, cash and back office — never engineering sign-off or site safety.
Where we create value

Where construction margin bleeds on the job.

Thin margins die by a thousand cuts — overruns, missed change orders, trapped cash. We find the operational wounds and close them.

01

Project Controls & Schedule

Keep projects on time and budget; kill overruns before they compound.

02

Change Orders & Billing

Capture every change and bill it — stop revenue bleeding on the job.

03

Cash Flow & Retainage

Free trapped cash: retainage, WIP and slow pay-apps.

04

Procurement & Subcontractors

Tighten buyout, vendor spend and sub coordination.

05

Systems & Data

Make Procore, Sage and your stack give one reliable version of the job.
