I work with general contractors and specialty contractors across the USA and Canada, in the $1M to $20M range, including here in Philadelphia. Owners who are tired of being the default escalation point on every change order and every crew issue.
Construction: From owner-bonded to company-bonded
Margins that erode after the job starts. Backlog and job mix that swing too much. An owner pulled into daily firefighting because nobody else has the authority to solve it.
We tighten project selection so you bid the work you actually want. We build change-order discipline so margin holds from estimate to closeout. We give your PMs and superintendents real authority, so problems get solved without you, and the work that comes in is more predictable and better qualified.
Client Success Stories
“Franne opened my eyes to the business opportunities available to Torrado Construction by getting me to "think outside the box". I highly recommend Franne as a business advisor for construction business owners who are serious about their business growth and scale.”
“Franne McNeal helped me examine and embrace my leadership style for significant business results. I recommend Franne as the business advisor you choose when you are creating the plan to increase your company value and preparing for growth, scale and future sale.”
Yes. General contractors and specialty contractors in the $1M to $20M range, in Philadelphia and across the USA and Canada.
Good. The work is built for busy owners. Tight sessions, a written recap with named action items after each one, and systems your team can run without you.
No. Most owners start with margin and owner-dependency problems. A more valuable company is the byproduct, and it gives you options for succession, sale, or staying in on your terms.
Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. I work across the Philadelphia region and throughout the USA and Canada.
