Commercial HVAC/mechanical, electrical, fire/life safety, and plumbing businesses are all feeling the same squeeze: slow cash, maxed-out crews, and back offices that grow every time the field does.
To find out what the best teams are doing differently, we benchmarked 1,500+ contractors across nine core KPIs — from DSO to revenue per tech to win rate. The result is Torque 26: the clearest picture yet of what separates average shops from top performers.
In this session, we'll walk through those benchmarks and what changing just a few numbers could mean for your business over the next 12–24 months.
What you'll learn
- Where contractors like you actually sit today across nine key benchmarks.
- How improving a single KPI—like DSO, revenue per tech, or win rate—translates into real dollars and crew capacity for a ~$10M, ~30-tech business.
- Practical changes top contractors are making right now to speed cash, protect technician time, and grow without adding more overhead.
- How to use the benchmark framework to spot your widest gaps and choose the first two or three moves that matter most.
Who should attend
- Owners and GMs who want a clear, data-backed picture of where their business stands and where the upside is.
- Finance and billing leaders who care about DSO, cash flow, and earning more per job without adding headcount.
- Service and project managers looking for practical ways to protect technician time and take on more work with the crews they already have.
