Six years as one subcontractor's entire back office.
A Southern California countertop and cabinet contractor with no office staff of its own. Our team is the office: every bid, drawing, PO, and book.
For six years, the team behind Axentra Solutions has been the entire back office for one countertop and cabinet contractor, with no other office staff. That office covers estimating, shop drawings, bid management, purchasing, bookkeeping, and project management. It sends out 10 to 12 bids a month and has supported about $18M in sales over five years.

The full back office
The challenge
Growth brought paperwork: takeoffs, shop drawings, bid deadlines, material orders, books, and active jobs. Hiring a full office would have meant salaries, training, turnover, and the owner's time pulled off the work. The client wanted the office without building one.
One job, bid to cash.
Every job moves through the same desks, run by the same team:
- Win: Invites logged, takeoffs measured, and bids itemized for the owner to price. That is 10 to 12 bids a month.
- Approve: After award, cabinet and countertop shop drawings are drawn for GC approval.
- Buy: POs are built from the approved drawings and deliveries tracked.
- Bill and close: Costs are coded to the job, invoices sent, and closeout paperwork done.
The results
The owner runs the jobs, and our team runs the office. Over the past five years, that work has supported about $18 million in sales.
