Speaking / Workshops

Straight talk for builders,
from a builder.

Keynotes, workshops, and team trainings for builder associations, trade groups, and construction companies — delivered by a fifth-generation builder who has held nearly every seat in the company.

Signature Topics

Talks that send contractors home
with a different question.

KEYNOTE

The Builder’s Dilemma

Most contractors were taught to build projects, not companies. Why working harder stops working — and what the owners of profitable, predictable companies do differently.

KEYNOTE / WORKSHOP

Profit Is Not a Four‑Letter Word

Where margin actually disappears — estimating, allowances, change orders, unbilled time — and the review rhythm that protects it while there is still time to act.

WORKSHOP

Structure, Not Chaos: The CBOS

A working session on the Contractor Business Operating System — mapping the seven stages onto each attendee’s company and naming the first system to install.

TEAM TRAINING

Red Carpet Management

The client experience as an operating system: communication standards, readiness gates, and the strong finish that protects trust, payment, and referrals.

Formats

Built for your room.

  • AKeynote — 45–60 minutes, association events and conferences.
  • BHalf‑day workshop — hands‑on, working directly in the attendees’ businesses.
  • CTeam training — inside one company, aligning owner, office, and field.

Every session draws on the frameworks in The Intentional Builder and decades of field experience — jobsite language, real numbers, no theory for theory’s sake. Attendees leave with the Self‑Assessment and a first implementation step, not just notes.
