Operations Plan 2026–2035
The operations plan for 65+5 has one central job: keep a larger opening move governable. The company is no longer commissioning only a single proof factory. It is commissioning a two-node operating system, standing up a Nassau-centered development capability, deploying land and project capital, and doing all of that inside a leveraged capital structure. That changes the operating burden even though the platform thesis itself remains familiar.
The right operating philosophy is still reliability before premium. The factories must ship on time, deliver repeatable quality, and earn the right to higher-value mixes and engineered outputs. Technical services and proof packs must convert performance into bankable adoption. Development participation must remain selective and stage-gated. Treasury must stay tied to operations rather than managed as a separate afterthought. If any of those systems drift, the larger Phase 1 becomes harder to defend.
Operating markers at a glance
| Topic | Current position | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Operating perimeter | TCI factory + Bahamas factory + Nassau DevCo + land/project activity | Operations must coordinate production, logistics, projects, and treasury as one system. |
| Primary operating KPI | Factory reliability before premium claims | The company cannot push higher-value products faster than it can prove them. |
| Treasury burden | Debt peaks at $39.0M before clearing by 2032 | Cash and operating execution are directly linked in the larger Phase 1. |
| Quality mandate | Traceability, testing cadence, proof packs, stop-ship authority | The proof system is part of operations, not a marketing add-on. |
| Strategic operating rule | Tighter footprint, slower scale, stronger gating | A larger Phase 1 makes sequencing discipline more important, not less. |
Operations must support three distinct but linked revenue families. The first is recurring factory output: ready-mix, premium pours, panels, and selected engineered concrete products. The second is technical service and proof-pack work, which reduces adoption friction and helps the company defend premium realization. The third is controlled project activity through Nassau DevCo and associated land / project positions. The operating system should be designed so that the first family supports the second and the second supports the third, rather than letting project activity destabilize the factory base.
Operating revenue families and operating implications
| Operating family | What operations must do well | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Factory output | High repetition, dispatch and quality discipline, utilization management | The recurring earnings floor and the first line of proof |
| Technical services / proof packs | Testing, engineering translation, documentation, field support | Converts chemistry and product claims into approved specifications |
| Controlled projects / DevCo | Project gating, material pull-through, procurement coordination | Creates earlier value capture but must remain selective |
| Land and project equity | Timing, underwriting, milestone-based cash release | Should be governed as capital deployment, not as free-form growth activity |
The two-node system should be run as one operating spine with local accountability, not as two disconnected plants. TCI remains the reference node for recipe discipline, QA templates, and the initial proof pack. Bahamas is the first replication test: same operating philosophy, same quality thresholds, same traceability logic, but executed in a second island market with its own logistics and demand profile.
Factory operating disciplines by function
| Function | What "good" looks like |
|---|---|
| Dispatch and logistics | On-time delivery, route planning, truck turnaround, customer communication |
| Quality control | Sampling, slump / strength testing, panel QC, stop-ship authority |
| Maintenance | Critical spare inventory, preventive maintenance, uptime management |
| Production planning | Mix scheduling, panel-bed utilization, raw-material sequencing |
| Plant finance / admin | Daily cash use, receivables discipline, inventory reconciliation |
Nassau DevCo should be treated as a governed execution layer, not as a parallel company free to outrun the factories. The purpose of the development layer is to create controlled pull-through for Acrete materials, shape proof assets, and capture more value where the company's concrete system gives it a real advantage. That requires disciplined site selection, conservative project underwriting, and explicit stage gates for land, design, permitting, procurement, and construction start.
Project and land gate framework
| Project gate | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Gate 1: Strategic fit | Does the project deepen the Acrete platform in the right geography and product mix? |
| Gate 2: Economic screen | Do margin, liquidity, and risk-adjusted return clear internal hurdles? |
| Gate 3: Factory fit | Can the factories supply the required materials without disrupting the base business? |
| Gate 4: Delivery readiness | Are permitting, utilities, contractor partners, and procurement sufficiently derisked? |
| Gate 5: Capital release | Can the next tranche be funded without breaching reserve or leverage discipline? |
The organization should be built around clear functional accountability: plant management, QC and laboratory, maintenance, dispatch and logistics, technical services, treasury / finance, Nassau DevCo execution, and a small corporate development / diligence layer where needed. The wrong operating pattern would be a thin management team trying to compensate with heroic effort. The right pattern is a deliberately staffed system with clean reporting lines and defined escalation rights.
Core staffing pillars for the larger Phase 1
| Staffing pillar | Indicative operating focus |
|---|---|
| Plant leadership | Plant manager, shift leads, dispatch, admin |
| QC / laboratory | QC manager, technicians, test documentation, proof-pack support |
| Operations and maintenance | Batching, panel line, loaders, mechanics, electricians |
| Commercial / technical services | Sales engineers, field support, specification support |
| Treasury and finance | Cash control, debt schedule tracking, receivables, reserve monitoring |
| DevCo execution | Project management, procurement, contract administration, local construction control |
Supply chain and quality control priorities
| Control area | Operational requirement |
|---|---|
| Raw materials and additive sourcing | Dual sourcing where possible; safety stock on critical items; supplier QA |
| Inventory governance | Cycle counts, batch traceability, aging controls, reorder rules |
| Testing cadence | Routine lab testing, field verification, panel QC, documentation retention |
| Proof packs | Translate test results into customer, engineer, and lender-facing evidence sets |
| Warranty / claims discipline | Bound applications, documented exclusions, closed-loop issue tracking |
Treasury cannot sit downstream of operations in 65+5. Cash, inventory, and project timing are operating issues because they interact directly with leverage. Management therefore needs a live weekly and monthly cadence that ties production, receivables, debt service, reserve balances, project milestones, and procurement commitments into one operating review.
Minimum reporting cadence
| Cadence | What should be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Daily | Production volume, dispatch, critical equipment uptime, cash position |
| Weekly | Inventory and receivables flash, project-milestone review, QC exceptions, reserve and debt-service view |
| Monthly | Board/management dashboard with revenue, EBITDA, cash, debt, project gate status, staffing issues |
| Quarterly | Strategic gate review on land, projects, sister operations, new-country readiness, and supplemental capital |
The 2026-2035 operating roadmap is sequential. 2026-2028 is about commissioning two factories, stabilizing logistics, standing up DevCo processes, and proving that the larger operating perimeter can be controlled. 2028-2030 is about repetition: repeatable QA, better panel throughput, cleaner receivables discipline, and credible project-delivery rhythm. 2030-2032 is about applying that maturity to larger markets without losing operational discipline. 2032-2035 is about selective capacity additions, deeper own-project pull-through, and only then broader optionality such as LGS or modular sister operations where the demand signal is strong enough.
Quality is not a support function in Acrete. It is the mechanism by which advanced concrete becomes commercially usable. The operating plan should therefore treat QC, laboratory routines, proof packs, technical services, and warranty boundaries as one integrated workstream. The laboratory does not only test material; it creates the evidence set that sales, engineering, lenders, and owners need in order to accept the product.
Proof-system operating stack
| Workstream | Operating requirement |
|---|---|
| Laboratory testing | Routine mix, strength, permeability, and panel QC testing with documented retention |
| Field verification | On-site checks, contractor handling guidance, issue logging, corrective-action loops |
| Proof packs | Customer-facing documentation sets translating technical evidence into approval language |
| Warranty discipline | Bounded application logic, exclusions, claims workflow, root-cause review |
| Technical services | Specification support, engineering translation, installation guidance |
The larger Phase 1 needs more than spreadsheets and weekly calls. It needs a simple but disciplined digital operating layer: dispatch visibility, production logs, receivables and inventory dashboards, project-milestone tracking, and QC document storage. The company also needs a way to keep future sister operations coordinated without letting them overtake the base business. LGS or modular should therefore be planned as a linked but gated operating track rather than as a parallel growth experiment.
Minimum systems architecture
| System layer | What it should cover |
|---|---|
| Plant operations | Dispatch, batching logs, maintenance tickets, truck and loader visibility |
| Finance and treasury | Cash dashboard, receivables aging, inventory valuation, debt-service calendar |
| Projects / DevCo | Milestone tracking, procurement logs, contract admin, capital-release approvals |
| Quality and documentation | Test results, proof-pack archives, issue tracking, warranty log |
| Board and management reporting | Monthly and quarterly packs with version control and clear ownership |
The 65+5 operating plan is stronger when it is read as a discipline document rather than a growth document. The company already has enough ambition. What it needs is clean operating order: reliable factories, documented proof, measured development activity, reserve protection, and a reporting cadence that does not let complexity hide inside momentum. When those things are present, the larger opening move becomes a platform advantage rather than a platform risk.
