In this episode of the Excavation Profits Podcast, Scott Andreasen interviews Andrew Drish, founder of SmartCrewHQ—an all-in-one construction management software built specifically for small to mid-sized excavation and heavy equipment contractors.

SmartCrewHQ helps contractors simplify time tracking, job costing, and crew management through an easy-to-use mobile platform designed for field teams, not office staff.

Andrew shares how contractors can move away from paper timecards and disconnected systems by using tools like GPS-based time tracking, real-time job cost visibility, and integrated reporting—all designed to reduce admin time and improve profitability.

If you’re running a crew and feel like you’re constantly guessing where your money is going, this episode will give you a clearer path to running more efficient, profitable projects.

Most excavation and septic contractors think they have a marketing problem.

Most of the time, they do not.

In this episode of the Excavation Profits Podcast, I sit down with leadership expert Justin Maust to talk about the real reason contractor businesses stall out and stay stuck.

Justin works with leadership teams to help them gain clarity, build accountability, and create real traction in their companies. In this conversation, we break down what that actually looks like inside a blue-collar business. Learn about him here https://www.entrelegacygroup.com

We cover:

• Why the owner often becomes the bottleneck • The leadership gaps that quietly limit growth • How to create clarity from the office to the field • What breaks first when contractors scale too fast • How to build a business that runs without you approving everything

If you are constantly putting out fires, answering every question, and feeling like growth only creates more chaos, this episode will hit home.

This is not about marketing tactics.

It is about leadership, systems, and building a company that can grow without burning you out.
