Scale Your Construction Business Without Losing Control


Tired of doing it all yourself? This course was built for custom builders and remodelers like you. Business owners juggling every hat, stuck in the weeds, and unsure how to grow without sacrificing quality, profit, or sanity.

We’ll show you how to build a business that runs on systems, not stress.

What You’ll Learn


This isn’t theory. It’s a proven roadmap based on real experience. You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear vision for why and how you want to grow
  • A hiring system that brings in the right people—and keeps them
  • Structured onboarding that builds accountability and retention
  • Repeatable processes that save you time and reduce mistakes
  • A handle on cash flow, forecasting, and when to actually hire
  • Free marketing tools to attract high-end clients
  • A sales funnel that pre-qualifies leads and boosts close rates
  • Weekly check-in structures to improve client & team communication
  • Built-in quality control and risk management
  • A strategy to scale smart based on your numbers—not emotion


Why It Pays for Itself


"I was stuck doing $1.5M/year with zero time. After this, we rebuilt our org chart, started charging for preconstruction, and turned our backlog into actual profit." - Jonathan M


Realistic Financial Impact:


  • Area Improved: Better Hiring & Retention
  • Annual Profit Boost: $15K–$60K


  • Area Improved: Improved Cash Flow Management
  • Annual Profit Boost: $5K–$25K


  • Area Improved: Pre-Construction Sales
  • Annual Profit Boost: $15K–$30K


  • Area Improved: Better Marketing & Lead Flow
  • Annual Profit Boost: $50K–$100K


  • Area Improved: Communication & Risk Prevention
  • Annual Profit Boost: $10K–$50K


Total Potential Impact:


  • $95K–$265K/year
  • Even capturing just 20% of this = $20K–$50K/year back in your pocket.



Who This Is For?


Homebuilders or remodelers who:

  • Are doing under $10M in revenue
  • Are owner-operated or consist of small teams (2–10 people)
  • Looking to grow, but feel overwhelmed or stuck
  • Ready to stop guessing and start scaling with structure


What You’ll Walk Away With


By the end of this course, you’ll have:

  • A team you trust and systems they follow
  • Fewer fires and more time to lead
  • Clients who respect your process and pay for it
  • A clear strategy for growing without falling apart


Food for Thought


“Most small builders leave tens of thousands on the table every year. Not because they aren’t working hard, but because they’re not working smart. This course shows you exactly how to fix that. If all it does is help you retain one great hire, avoid one client dispute, and close one more qualified project, it could pay for itself 10x over in your first year.

Summary of Course


Most builders who find themselves here are wearing every hat—project manager, salesperson, marketer, and problem solver. You're likely overwhelmed, stuck in the day-to-day, constantly reacting to fires, and unsure how to grow without sacrificing quality or burning out. You’re landing work, but cash flow feels unpredictable, your team lacks structure, and your business relies too heavily on you to function. By the end of this course, you'll have a business that runs on systems, not stress. You'll know how to hire and onboard the right people, set clear expectations, manage cash with confidence, and attract the right clients consistently. You’ll transition from being the bottleneck to the builder who leads with clarity, scales intentionally, and builds a business that supports your life—not one that consumes it.


They’ll make that transformation by accomplishing the following:

  1. Clarifying their vision
     → Define personal, financial, and business goals that guide every decision moving forward.
  2. Building the right team
     → Hire based on clearly defined roles, not gut reactions, and attract people aligned with your vision.
  3. Onboarding for retention
     → Implement a structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plan with clear KPIs to ramp up new hires quickly and effectively.
  4. Creating repeatable systems
     → Document workflows and SOPs using the 1% rule to build a scalable, teachable business.
  5. Controlling cash flow
     → Forecast expenses, track incoming payments, and build a financial buffer to make growth sustainable.
  6. Marketing intentionally
     → Use free platforms like Instagram, Google, and LinkedIn to create visibility and attract qualified leads.
  7. Building a real sales funnel
     → Pre-qualify leads, charge for pre-construction, and move from chasing clients to leading them.
  8. Improving communication
     → Run structured weekly check-ins and use tools to align your team and clients, preventing costly mistakes.
  9. Managing risk and quality
     → Set up quality control checkpoints, proactively prevent disputes, and protect your reputation as you grow.
  10. Scaling with control
     → Know when to pause, when to push, and how to shift strategy with the market—so growth never outpaces your foundation.

By doing this, they’ll build a business that’s more profitable, more intentional, and finally scalable without chaos.
