In 2019, I took a simple handyman, ✓ built a brand around him (logo, website, socials), ✓ digitized his workflows (Buildertrend, GSuite, QuickBooks), ✓ hired a staff of skilled tradespersons, ✓ 💰💰💰→ and ramped his operation from $300k/yr to $3.5MM in less than 33 months. 🚀 And I can do the same for you. Here's where to start: ➡️ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏: Business Clarity Quickstart Positioning Sprint 🚀 Purpose: Create a laser-focused positioning statement outlining your ideal customer, ideal project, and ideal position in the market. Deliverables include: → Your Purpose Statement (why does your company exist?) → Core Values (your hire/fire, live-or-die for framework) → Core Focus (what you do better than anyone else?) → Your 10-Year Target → Comprehensive One-Year Plan (and the steps to get there) → Who wants what you have (your ICP; their demographic, psychographic, geographic) → What “yes” projects look like (vs. time-wasting, money pits) → What capabilities you’re underutilizing (and how to fix) This focused session will inform your entire downstream: → Service offerings → SOPs → Marketing → Pricing strategy, and → Strategic partnerships. You walk away with: → Clear positioning based on real margins and ideal clients → A working ICP (ideal customer profile) and ideal project filter → Strategic yes/no framework for future bids and business decisions → A 2-page summary-roadmap outlining your steps to scale Includes: → Pre-call intake questions → 90-minute live call → Deliverables within 72 hours 💰 $850 flat fee 🎯 Best for: Getting clear, fast. --- ➡️ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐: The Builder’s Blueprint – Your Operational Flywheel ⚙️ You get a working blueprint to scale from high-effort jobs to a high-margin operation. We work through your current bottlenecks, talent structure, and SOP gaps to create your ideal client fulfillment strategy. You walk away with: → Clarified service ladder, including what you do and what you don’t do anymore → SOP starter pack: lead intake, bid/no-bid, scope control, punch list, and closeout → Roles & responsibilities matrix (Admins, Crews, Vendor Partners, and Subs) Includes: → Everything in the Business Clarity Quickstart Positioning Sprint 🚀 → Pre-call review of operations, team, software, pipeline → 2x 90-minute strategy calls (1 week apart) → Roadmap PDF and SOP templates → Access to me via email for 14 days after 💰 $1,850 flat fee 🛠️ Best for: Building the business you know you’re capable of. --- ➡️ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑: Fractional Ops Partner – Done-With-You Execution 👷 Are you "priced for high-end but standing in front of low-end buyers"? Let’s fix that and remodel your entire operation. You get: → Everything in the Business Clarity Quickstart Positioning Sprint 🚀 → Weekly mentorship → Custom systems → Done-with-you execution → Ongoing support to go from bottlenecked technician to strategic operator. I help you think, plan, and build—then I help your team do the same. We work on: → Business development (sales ops) → Software integration (Selection, implementation, training, job costing, SOPs...) → Subcontractor network → Team meetings and accountability rhythms (EOS style) → Proposal writing and positioning Includes: → Weekly 60-minute working sessions → Shared Notion dashboard for deliverables and tracking → Ongoing async access for review, copy, SOPs, and ops support Ideal term: 12 weeks 💰 $3,500/month ⚙️ Best for: Founders ready to scale with a trusted advisor by their side. --- Why Hire Me? ✓ Licensed Residential Builder (Michigan): Four decades in the trenches. I understand contractors' time demands and the importance of real-world, accurate project management. ✓ Remote-Ready & Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with JobTread, Buildertrend, Procore, Jobber, HousecallPro, Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, or similar platforms. GSuite, MSOffice, Dropbox and more. ✓ Expert in Codes & Regulations: Especially around California ADUs and other state-specific permit hurdles. ✓ Clear Communication: Native English speaker, available for video calls during YOUR business hours. I know how to ask the right questions to fill in the gaps. ✓ Organized & Detail-Oriented: My follow-up is reliable, and your documents stay meticulously filed. No more searching for missing forms. Tools & Platforms - Construction & PM: JobTread, Buildertrend, Procore, HousecallPro, Jobber, and more - CRMs & Communication: HubSpot, Salesforce, FollowUp Boss, Slack, Zoom, Loom - Office & Collaboration: Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Dropbox, Basecamp, Asana, ClickUp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If I could give a 10-star rating, I would do so in a heartbeat! Paul was the perfect person to help bring clarity, ideas, strategies, customer identification, and help provide direction for where our company is headed.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “He managed our ADU permits in California—dealt with city hall and zoning, got our permits in record time, and kept us in the loop the whole way. We’ll hire him again for our next project.”
