Professional Consultation and Organization
Over the years I have found that contractors have a profound understanding of the services they provide. Whether trade specific or general services, they have the technical expertise on how to execute. However, over time, good contractors begin to grow organically and the clientele they service grows as well.
Amongst these contractors is a mix of stages they are experiencing. Organic growth, Hyper growth, and maintaining. These different stages have varying operational needs and costs associated with them. Years of hearing "They grew too big too fast" or "We need to reduce costs to be competitive" are all too familiar reactions to issues that could have been prevented. Seeing how many good companies it has consumed can make for a heartbreaking experience.
​
That is why I set out to help support these companies. In times of economic uncertainty, getting inefficiencies under control is key to building a solid foundation for success.

INSIGHT
"The fatal assumption that an individual who understands the technical work of a business can successfully run a business that does that technical work" E-Myth By Michael E Gerber.
​
I have spent years running and improving construction operations for various companies. I have found that no matter what technical service they provide their issues all come down to the same operational deficiencies. Small to medium-size contractors don't have the revenues with margins to sustain the overhead of an operations manager. In turn you have one organization member taking on too many roles to be efficient. I have created a plan and programs to address these areas that are designed to keep overhead low and help drive your business in the direction you envision.
​
I started this company because there are many contractors struggling day to day operationally. They're just needing that extra bit of help to take the next step in improving operational maturity. I am providing that help because asking for help isn't sign of weakness, but an understanding that you have confidence in what you are providing to your client. Partnering with me is where we can bridge that gap together.
