Serving Construction Owners Across Canada

Three ways to work with me

I work mostly with construction and trades businesses, but what I do applies to any owner-run company. There’s no franchise playbook here. You get me, and you get work that fits how your business actually runs. I start from tools and templates I’ve built and tested over a lot of years, then fit them to you, whether that’s an SOP, a health and safety program or an estimating template, and they come with the coaching at no extra charge. If you want to see what one looks like, the CSR Phone Playbook is a free piece of the toolbox.

Fast Track

You’ve got a problem to fix.

You come in with a specific set of problems, like revenue going up while profit doesn’t, cash that’s always tight, or a business that can’t run a day without you, and we start with a written plan to fix them. Over twelve sessions, weekly or every two weeks, I build the tools and SOPs those problems need, we measure where you started and where you finish, and you leave with a written 90-day plan for what comes next. When the twelve sessions are done, you can keep going on mentorship or run the plan yourself.

Included: a written plan, the tools and SOPs your problems need, support between sessions, a before-and-after measure, and a 90-day plan to keep.

$3,600 CAD for 12 sessions, billed monthly in advance: $1,200 a month if we meet weekly, or $600 a month every two weeks. The twelve sessions are a commitment, because I build the program around your business.

Mentorship

You want a mentor.

Some owners don’t have one big problem to fix. They want someone who’s been there to think things through with before the big calls: a hire, a risky job, a bid that looks a little too good. There’s no plan and no end date. You set the agenda each session, you can text or email me in between, and the tools come along when you need them.

Included: text and email between sessions, answered within one business day, and tools from the toolbox when you need them.

Every two weeks: $600 CAD a month. Monthly: $400 CAD a month. Billed monthly in advance, month to month.

Group Coaching

You want your team trained.

I’ll come to you and work with your people in person, whether that’s your managers or your crew, on whatever the business needs them to get better at, from leading a team to closing out a job properly. It’s built around your company, so I quote it after we’ve talked.

Included: prep with your team before the day, the tools you work through, and a written summary of who’s changing what.

Not sure where the problem is? A fixed-fee diagnostic will find it: Profit, Systems or Sales for $1,500 each, or the full Business Health Check for $3,000. All prices CAD, plus GST.

Not sure which one fits? That’s what the discovery call is for. It’s free, it usually takes 20 to 45 minutes, and I’ll tell you straight which option makes sense, including none of them.

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.

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.

Common Questions

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. One-on-one coaching runs up to companies of about 30 staff. Past that, for companies with a management layer up to roughly $75 million in revenue, the work is management consulting and in-person group coaching for the management team.

How much does construction business coaching cost?

It depends which kind of coaching you need. If you’ve got a specific problem to fix, Fast Track is $3,600 CAD for 12 sessions, with the tools and SOPs it builds included. If you want general guidance from someone who has run these businesses, ongoing coaching and mentorship is $600 CAD a month for a session every two weeks or $400 CAD a month for one a month, month to month with no minimum term. Fixed-fee diagnostics start at $1,500 CAD. All prices are in Canadian dollars, plus GST.

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 regular sessions with direct support in between: twelve sessions on Fast Track, ending with a hand-over and a graduation check against the goals you started with, or month to month in mentorship. 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.
