RAYMOND BRASWELL began his career as an architect then quickly moved into the construction side of the industry. Over a 20 year period Raymond built and successfully exited two large general contracting businesses. The first one he started from scratch as the President of a newly formed GC division for a large mechanical contractor ultimately growing it to over $400 million through securing clients such as Marriott and Disney Development Company.

Consultant: Raymond Braswell.

Raymond joined the second firm as President at $60 million where he quickly developed a growth strategy. By heavily leveraging preconstruction services combined with an innovative approach to talent management the business grew to over $900 million. Some notable achievements included the construction of a $285 million casino constructed in 14 months and exited the business through an ESOP.

After exiting his company Raymond spent several years advising real estate developers and large project owners. He improved their processes for interviewing then selecting Architects and Contractors for their projects.

Raymond now spends his time advising construction contractors across the United States on key issues including market strategy, geographic expansion, preconstruction services, business development and succession planning. Ultimately Raymond’s passion is setting a contractor up for long-term sustainable growth. Raymond’s unique perspective from his experience in architecture, construction and development can be an invaluable resource in assisting your company.

Seeing the Mountain - Levels of Detail
You will find a clear path to the top of the mountain faster as you build your ability to situationally vary the resolution you see the world in. This applies to the construction of a project, the building of a contracting business and to life in general.
Technology and Results - Ensure Alignment
For some, change is exciting, and this includes technology. Technology has dramatically changed the construction industry but that does not mean all technology creates results. Are you achieving the results you want from your technology?
Process Improvement and Cycle Times
When contractors grow inefficient processes usually get substantially more inefficient dramatically changing the Return on Investment (ROI) model. Saving a few minutes over 1,000 cycles per month means $60K+ potential savings over a couple years.
