A quick self-assessment and receive an instant report & recommendations covering the four things every contracting business must master to become reliably profitable:
Pipeline Management
Tendering
Project Delivery
Leadership & Management
Underneath everything lies a crucial foundation: Your numbers and the project contract — the two areas that connect your Business Accounts, Business Development, Estimating, Delivery and Change Management into one joined-up system.
How the Programme Works
Start with the foundation: the first 3 modules
These three are the backbone. Once you’ve done them, you can dip in and out of the other modules as and when you need or set up a regular accountability check on the critical numbers.
1. Tradesperson to Contractor – “Getting off the tools”
· Why hard work alone won’t grow profit—and how your numbers tell the truth.
2. Pricing Tenders – “Avoid the race to the bottom”
· Win work at the highest price the market will bear.
3. Project Cost Value Reconciliations, CVR’s – “Follow the money”
· Track real cost vs real value so you stop leaking profit or missing variations.
Then choose what you want help with next
Pipeline Management
Marketing & Lead Generation – “Keeping the pipeline full”
Move beyond word-of-mouth and build a repeatable system.
Tendering
More depth on quality submissions, particularly for public sector work, using curated material from the Supply Chain Sustainability School (instead of wading through thousands of free resources yourself).
Project Delivery
Deeper dives into delivery-specific issues as required.
Leadership & Management
Because a business only grows when the owner stops being the bottleneck:
Exit Strategy – “Start with the end in mind”
Business Planning – “Keep on track”
Board / Accountability Meeting
Time Management – “Work on the business, not in it.”
Delegation – “I don’t trust the staff to do it as well as me.”
Difficult Conversations – “I don’t want to upset them.”
Self-awareness & Leadership – “Manage yourself first.”
Culture & Engagement – “Taking the business to the next level.”
Digitisation – tools to make you faster than your competitors.
