Two Ways to Work With Eddy

Solo operator to about 30 people

Running your own business?

You’re the owner, and most days you’re also the estimator, the scheduler and the one chasing the money. That works for a while, and then the business stops growing past what you can carry yourself. One-on-one coaching is built around your numbers, your estimating and your crew, not a generic business framework.

What we usually work on

Pricing, markup and what your crew really costs per hour
Job costing, so you know what a job made before you bid the next one
Cash flow, deposits and getting paid on time
Systems and hand-offs, so the business doesn’t stall when you’re away
Hiring, sales and follow-up

Twelve weeks over Google Meet, weekly on Contractor Fast Track or every two weeks on Contractor Core, with text and email support in between. It ends with a hand-over, so the tools keep running after we’re done. Most owners start with Fast Track; if you’d rather see the whole picture first, start with a fixed-fee diagnostic.

Established companies with a management team

Running a larger company?

Past thirty or so people, estimating, operations and the office start pulling in different directions, and each one blames the other when a job goes sideways. Underneath it are the managers in the middle, the procedures that live in people’s heads, and the overhead that grew faster than the profit. For construction and trades companies, engineering and other project-based firms, and divisions inside larger companies, there are two ways I work.

Group coaching

In-person sessions with your management team, built from scratch around what they’re dealing with: morale, a merger or restructure, or people promoted for their technical skill who now have to lead.

Group coaching →

Management consulting

A full review of how the company runs, from the numbers to how jobs get done to where your work comes from. Then a plan built with your managers, and help putting it in place.

Management consulting →

The coach owners start with becomes the consultant their company needs once there’s a management team. Both are scoped to your company and quoted after a conversation.

If Any of This Sounds Familiar

You're busy, but the business isn't paying you what it should.

The same handful of problems keep showing up, whether the company is five people or fifty. If more than a couple of these land, a discovery call is the right next step.

If you run your own business

Revenue is up, profit isn’t. The year was busier than ever and the bank account didn’t notice.
Estimates are a guess. Some jobs make money, some lose it, and you can’t tell which until they’re over.
Everything runs through you. Quotes, scheduling, client calls and billing all land on one desk.
Busy, but always tight on cash. Deposits, progress billing and collections are out of step with the bills.
Sales come in feast or famine. No real pipeline, and quotes sit for a week before anyone follows up.
No real job costing. You find out what a job made after it’s done, if you find out at all.
Change orders get done and never billed. The extra work goes in on a handshake and comes out of your margin.
You’re estimating at night. A full day on site, then quotes at the kitchen table.
Hiring feels like a coin toss. No clear job description, no real interview, and you find out in month three.
You can’t take two weeks off. The business only runs while you’re in it.

If you run a larger company

Overhead grew, profit didn’t. More staff, more trucks, a bigger office, and the same net at year end.
Margin leaks between the bid and the final cost. Jobs look good at tender and thinner at closeout.
Nobody can say what actually makes money. Which jobs, clients or divisions pay their way only shows up at year end, when it’s too late to change anything.
Procedures live in people’s heads. Five PMs run a job five different ways, and new hires learn by guessing.
Managers promoted for their technical skill. Good builders, now expected to lead people without anyone showing them how.
Good people are leaving. And morale is slipping in a way everyone can see and nobody’s naming.
A merger, restructure or downsizing hasn’t settled. The org chart changed; how people work together didn’t.
Winning work is a grind. Tendering at thin margins, stuck as a sub, with no real sales effort behind it.
The owners or the board want a plan. For next year, for growth or for succession, and nobody has the time to build it properly.
Someone wants new software. To fix a problem nobody has actually fixed yet.

Coaching Pricing · CAD

Transparent pricing for coaching and diagnostics.

Fixed-fee diagnostics and 12-week coaching packages — plus $450 check-ins for graduates, or for anyone who just wants a mentor.

Questions owners ask before getting started.

What does a construction business coach actually do?

A construction business coach works directly with owners of construction businesses — builders, trades, and the companies around them — to improve the operational and financial performance of their businesses. At Tumbleweed, that means hands-on work with estimating, job costing, overhead recovery, systems, sales flow, and team structure — led by someone who has actually run construction companies, not just studied them.

Do you work with solo operators or only larger companies?

Both. Solo operators are a common starting point, including businesses in their first year — the focus is usually on pricing, job costing, and getting out of the owner-does-everything trap. The work scales up to companies with roughly 30 staff and up to about $20M in revenue.

How much does construction business coaching cost?

Fixed-fee diagnostics start at $1,500 CAD. 12-week coaching packages start at $1,800 CAD, and after that there’s the Alumni & Mentor Check-in at $450 CAD per check-in, booked monthly, every two months, or quarterly, with no minimum term. All prices are in Canadian dollars.

Do you only work with companies in BC?

No. I'm based in Langley, BC, but coaching and diagnostics run by Google Meet for clients across Canada.

What's the difference between a diagnostic and coaching?

A diagnostic is a fixed-fee, finite engagement — a focused review of your profit, systems, or sales with a written action plan you can use independently. Coaching is a 12-week engagement with regular sessions and direct support between calls, focused on implementation, and it ends with a hand-over to your team and a graduation check against the goals you started with. Either can be the starting point — a diagnostic is never required before coaching.

How long is the discovery call?

Usually somewhere between 20 and 45 minutes. It depends on your situation and how much I need to find out about the business before I can tell you honestly what would help. It's free, and there's no pitch.
