Yes. General contractors and specialty contractors in the $1M to $20M range, in Philadelphia and across the USA and Canada. That includes mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete, sitework, roofing, and interiors.

Good. The Business Growth Mastermind runs 50 minute group sessions once a week, and a 10 minute one to one call every fortnight. That is roughly 7 hours a month. Every session ends with a written recap and named action steps, so nothing rides on your memory, and what we build are systems your team runs rather than meetings you attend.

No. Most owners come to me for margin, cash flow, and owner dependency problems, not for a sale. A more valuable company is the byproduct, and it gives you options for succession, internal transition, private equity, or sale, whenever you choose. One 12 person contractor tripled aggregate bonding from $1.5M to $4.5M and opened public bid eligibility, which was worth two state contracts totalling $1.4M.

Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. I work across the Philadelphia region and throughout the USA and Canada, over Zoom and in person.

The assessments are free. From there, two doors. If you want your Value Builder Score read and ranked, the Business Efficiency Assessment is $495: a 60 minute debrief and a written report. If you want your leaks priced and a plan to fix them, the Firm Health Snapshot is $1,500: a 60 minute working session that gives you a gap map, your two biggest leaks priced in dollars, and a ninety day plan, fully credited toward coaching booked within thirty days. The Scalability Finder Session is $875 and the Business Growth Mastermind runs ten weeks at $1,485. Coaching programs are scoped and priced on the Discovery Call.

Usually, and usually not the way you expect. When the bonding is tied to the owner personally, the surety is not being difficult. It is pricing the risk correctly. The fix is to make the company bondable instead of the owner: reviewed financials, WIP schedules, completion history, and estimating that runs without you in the room. One 12 person contractor went from a $500K single job limit to $1.5M, and $1.5M aggregate to $4.5M, without ever switching sureties.

Three kinds of owner. If your firm is under $1 million and still finding its footing, you need clients more than a value plan. If a sale closes in the next ninety days, we are too late to change the number and I will say so. And if you truly do not want to let go of anything, no method fixes that, and I would rather tell you than take the check.
