Background & Experience ———
Built from the Ground Up
Chad's journey in construction began from the ground up. In high school and college he worked as a laborer for a residential contractor, doing framing, concrete, masonry, and roofing work. This hands-on field experience gave him a deep appreciation for the hard work that goes into building projects — and also the insight that his own strengths lay not in the technical trades, but in leading and improving the business side of construction.
"I've been doing things the hard way for a long time… This stuff is changing my life!"
In 2008, Chad discovered his calling as a consultant during a training session with a veteran construction executive. A few months after the session, that executive told him those words above — and the impact sparked a personal and business transformation that "hooked" Chad on the difference he could make.
He has devoted his career since then to helping construction companies get a better return on their time, money, and effort — ultimately founding Well Built Consulting to fulfill that mission. Under his leadership, Well Built exclusively serves the building industry, focusing on the unique challenges of contractors and builders.
"People should do business with people they trust" — an industry executive described Chad as a sought-after consultant and thought leader with the courage to challenge the status quo.
Real-World Solutions, Not Theoretical Advice
Chad's consulting approach is hands-on and rooted in real-world experience. He helps construction leaders put the right systems and culture in place across their businesses — from improving team skills and compensation structures to strengthening communication on project teams.
Practical by Design
Because of his field background, none of Chad's advice is just theoretical. Every solution is practical and proven to work on actual jobsites and within busy construction offices.
Culture Over Quick Fixes
His goal isn't just to solve one-off problems, but to nurture a company-wide culture of continuous improvement and leadership excellence at every level of the organization.
Frank & Empathetic
Chad is very comfortable with difficult conversations and conflict resolution — his blend of empathy and no-nonsense candor builds the trust needed for lasting change.
Chad also ensures his clients get comprehensive support for whatever business improvements they need. Under his guidance, the Well Built team delivers a full spectrum of solutions — from strategic planning and executive coaching to peer group facilitation, succession planning, and leadership training — all tailored to construction businesses.
This holistic approach means Chad can help whether a contractor is refining day-to-day operations, developing their next generation of leaders, or mapping out growth and acquisitions. By replacing outdated industry norms with better strategies and tools, he positions companies to raise the bar for their employees, customers, and partners.
Ultimately, Chad's philosophy is that "good companies raising the bar" will elevate the entire construction industry — and he is determined to be a catalyst for that progress.
