I was wondering what different companies do when jobs go over budget. Currently its mostly a lot of finger pointing between the estimator and the lead electrician, about why the job went over, and then management says "oh well I guess you can't make money on every job." To me this seems totally unproductive and not a very business minded attitude to have on the subject.
I have recently been moved into the office and I would like to start some kind of post job review process so that we can try to mitigate the problems in the future. I was thinking that the key people involved could sit down and discuss the problems that they had on the job without placing blame, and feeling like they need to defend everything that they did. I was just wondering if anyone else does anything like this and if it works at all?
