($-208,000 on $928,000 revenue) to over 23% by Year 3 ($983,000 on $3135 million revenue) This transition requires aggressive pricing optimization and maximizing crew utilization Your gross margin starts strong at around 70%, but high fixed overhead ($770,000+ in Year 1) demands rapid scaling to achieve the break-even point in nine months (September 2026) Focus immediately on shifting the service mix away from high-volume, lower-rate new installations ($95\/hr) toward high-margin safety inspections ($125\/hr), which will defintely accelerate
