Could your shop be getting more from the crews, systems, and revenue you already have?

The Torque 2026 Commercial Contractor Benchmark Report examines what separates the strongest performing contractors from the average.

Across BuildOps platform data from more than 1,500 commercial specialty-trade contractors, best-in-class performance reached 62% faster service cash collection, 65% more revenue per technician, and a 14-point higher quote-to-close win rate. These comparisons are based on the top-performing 20% of BuildOps customers for each category.

Those numbers show what is possible. But they do not answer the question every contractor eventually has to ask: what could this mean for my shop?

That is why BuildOps launched the BuildOps Value Calculator: a free, approximately three-minute experience that turns your operating metrics into a personalized estimate of the value BuildOps could unlock for your business.

From industry benchmarks to your numbers

The Torque 2026 report gives commercial contractors a clear picture of what best-in-class operations look like. The calculator takes the next step by helping you map that context to your own shop and what it will take to get to the next level.

Answer a few questions about your business, including your trade, technician count, revenue range, service and project mix, field productivity, back-office structure, billing processes, and cash-collection cycle. You do not need exact financials or sensitive data—general ranges and your best estimates are enough.

In about three minutes, you can see:

• Estimated hours saved per year
• Estimated profitability improvement
• Estimated working capital freed
• How your operation compares across key benchmarks
• Where your biggest opportunities may be hiding

Think of Torque 2026 as the wide-angle view. It shows how commercial contractors perform across cash velocity, field productivity, office efficiency, and revenue growth.

The calculator brings that view closer. It helps you compare your own operation with the benchmarks and translate the difference into outcomes that are easier to discuss with your leadership team.

See the difference in practical terms

For commercial contractor leaders evaluating new software, the hardest part of an ROI conversation is seeing what’s slowing you down or costing you revenue.

A slow billing process is not just an administrative annoyance. It can delay cash collection. Return visits don’t only affect technician schedules; they can reduce capacity and increase the cost of completing work. Manual handoffs aren’t just more paperwork; they can make it harder for leaders to see where margin, time, and growth opportunities are slipping away.

The BuildOps Value Calculator is designed to help contractors take action. Instead of asking only, “How do we compare?” you can start asking, “Where should we focus first, and what could that be worth?”

• How much productive time could be recovered?
• Where might rework, missed billable items, or manual handoffs be affecting results?
• How much working capital could be available if cash moved through the business faster?
• Which benchmark gap should become the starting point for a software conversation?

Where does your shop stand?

The strongest benchmark is your own operation.

Use the BuildOps Value Calculator to enter your metrics, compare your results with the Torque 2026 benchmarks, and estimate what closing the gap could mean for your business.
