About Profitable Growth

 

Every contractor's vision and situation is unique; we understand that.  We tailor our experience, relationships, tools and training specifically for your business. 

Just like there is no simple way to summarize how you build a complex project; there is also no simple way for us to describe everything we do.

All relationships begin with a conversation. Please reach out and schedule time to talk about your vision, your business, your team, and your challenges. Together, we can explore opportunities for growth and see if there is fit.


 

The Challenges for Contractors

All contractors go through very predictable stages of growth with each requiring changes to their market strategy, leadership focus, organizational structure, processes and operating rhythms.

Beyond that; the construction industry is going through unprecedented changes including COVID-19 and the inevitable economic fall-out that will last years.  

Every contractor is already aware of these industry-wide changes along with all the “normal” challenges faced by a growing contractor. These changes are continuing to create amazing opportunities for those contractors that can capitalize on them; many others will be left behind. Today’s dominant contractors will not necessarily be dominant in tomorrow’s market.

These challenges have all been successfully navigated before; there is nothing truly new under the sun. Build upon the foundation of your experience leveraging our experience, strategies, problem solving capabilities, tools, tactics and relationships to accelerate your growth. Effective collaboration with the right people at the right time creates exceptional contractors.

Two Planning Dimensions
Some of the impacts you see on a project are not as clear as a design change, conflict, or obviously changed condition. Some impacts, such as poor project sequencing or congested work areas are hard to notice if you don’t have good tracking systems.
The Four Traits of Successful Executives
There is a lot more to success than being charismatic and extroverted with a perfect track record. The ghSMART company conducted research on over 2,000 leaders, correlating detailed notes from the candidate screening process with their results as leaders.
Conceptual Estimating - Turning Drawings Into Estimates
Conceptual estimating requires a contractor to take early stage conceptual drawings and turn them into detailed estimates with a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) that is useful during the initial programming, schematic, and design development phases.
