General Contractors
Remodeling and construction projects are complex. The contractors who win have systems that handle that complexity—without burning out.
The GC Reality
You're coordinating subs, managing timelines, handling customers, and somehow also supposed to run a business. Every project has different scope, different challenges, different headaches.
Most GCs are running on memory and spreadsheets. Change orders slip through the cracks. Subs show up late—or not at all. Cash flow is a constant guessing game.
We help general contractors build systems that bring order to the chaos.
Sound Familiar?
One delay cascades. Subs bump into each other. Customers are upset. No system for managing dependencies.
You're chasing subs all day. Who's confirmed? Who's late? Who ghosted? No visibility until it's a problem.
Scope creep happens. You do extra work without documenting it. Money walks out the door.
Every job is custom. Pricing is inconsistent. You win jobs you shouldn't and lose ones you should.
Long projects, slow draws, supplier terms. You're never quite sure where you stand.
Customers want updates. You're too busy to give them. Small issues become big problems.

Questions
We work primarily with remodelers and smaller residential builders. The project management and financial principles transfer, but our sweet spot is service-oriented contractors doing kitchens, baths, additions, and whole-home renovations.
It depends on your size and complexity. We've worked with Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Procore, Monday, and others. We optimize what you have—or help you choose if you're starting fresh. The tool matters less than using it consistently.
Our focus is residential. Commercial has different dynamics—bid processes, union considerations, bonding requirements, longer timelines. Some project management principles transfer, but it's not our primary expertise.
Solo GCs can benefit from better systems, but our biggest impact is with companies that have some team—project managers, office staff, or regular subs. If you're scaling from solo, we can help you build infrastructure for growth.
Change orders are where margin lives or dies. We build documentation systems, approval workflows, and pricing protocols that capture 90%+ of scope changes. Most remodelers capture 60-70% and give away the rest.
Sub management is an ongoing challenge. We build confirmation workflows, performance tracking systems, and accountability structures that reduce no-shows from 15%+ to under 5%. Plus systems for developing backup relationships.
Yes. Every job is different, but your estimating methodology shouldn't be random. We build frameworks that account for complexity, create consistent margin targets, and help you identify which job types actually make money.
Customers want updates but you're too busy running jobs. We build update schedules, client portals, milestone communication triggers, and expectation management processes. Happy customers refer more business—and don't call you constantly.
