The cost of wrong

What's the wrong setup costing you?

Picking the wrong software, or duct-taping the right one by hand, doesn't show up on an invoice. It leaks out as hours. Drag the sliders and see what a year of it really adds up to.

The wrong setup is costing you roughly

$56,160 a year

18 hrs a week · 864 hrs a year, gone to admin

Rough numbers, but you get the idea. A consult tells you exactly which of those hours you can claw back, and what it'd take to do it.

Based on 48 working weeks a year. We kept it conservative on purpose.

FAQ

Consultations, answered

The questions builders and construction managers ask us before they book a consult. Can't find yours? Get in touch and we'll talk it through.

What is a consult, in plain terms?

It's a focused session where we sit down, work out how your business actually runs day to day, and find where time and money are leaking. You come out with a clear, ranked plan of what to fix first, not a sales pitch.

What does a consult cost?

Reach out and we'll sort the details with you. We keep it lean and the goal is simple: the plan should pay for itself many times over in time saved and work won. If it won't, we'll tell you straight.

Do I have to build it with you afterwards?

No. The plan is yours to keep. Plenty of people take it and run with it themselves, and that's completely fine. Most come back to build it with us because it's quicker, but there's no obligation either way.

What will I actually walk away with?

A workflow map of how your business runs, a ranked list of what to automate or fix first for the biggest payoff, and honest advice on the apps worth your money. A roadmap you can act on, not a vague summary.

How long does it take?

Usually a focused session plus a short write-up. You'll have your roadmap within days, not weeks. We don't drag it out.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Not really. Come as you are. It helps if you can talk us through a normal week, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, chasing, but you don't need reports or spreadsheets ready. We'll draw it out in the chat.

Will you just tell me to buy more software?

No. Half the wins are getting more out of what you already run, or dropping tools that overlap. We only recommend a new app when it clearly earns its keep, and we'll always tell you when the answer is to change a process, not buy something.

Is this only for businesses ready to automate?

Not at all. A consult is just as useful when you're not sure where to start or whether automation's even worth it. We help you see where the time's going first, then you decide what, if anything, to do about it.
