Who we serve
Trade Contractors
You live in the real world: scope clarity, field productivity, GC schedules, change orders, and cash timing. Winning work isn’t the same as winning profitable work—and trades feel that gap fast.
What’s probably making this hard right now
- Bids that take too long, miss scope, or get pushed into “race-to-the-bottom” pricing.
- Schedule whiplash and coordination issues that kill productivity.
- Change orders that don’t get captured, priced, approved, or collected cleanly.
- Cash flow volatility: pay-when-paid, retainage, and mismatch between labor spend and billing.
- Foremen/supers doing the best they can without clear rhythms, expectations, or financial visibility.
- Hiring and retention: keeping great people while the market stays noisy.
Enter — Well Built
We help trade contractors tighten the “get work → do work → get paid” chain. That means better estimating habits, better field/office coordination, better terms and communication, and better financial control so the profit you sell actually shows up.
- Estimator & PM skill upgrades tied to real work.
- Job financial control (WIP + decision-making that protects margin).
- Sales + negotiation so you win on value and protect terms.
- People systems so you can hire, keep, and grow great talent.
How we typically help Trades
- Estimating systems & training: scope capture, assumptions, production rates, handoff.
- Field execution habits: look-ahead planning, constraint removal, communication cadence.
- Change management: tracking, pricing, documentation, and collections discipline.
- Forecasting: backlog + manpower + cash visibility so you can scale intentionally.
What we don’t do
This list can expand later — here’s the simplified version:
- We’re not a staffing firm.
- We don’t sell software or take referral fees.
- We don’t replace your CPA, attorney, or coach/EOS implementer.
- We don’t run your projects day-to-day.
- We’re not a claims/litigation firm.
We can work alongside your existing advisors and help your team implement what matters.

Talk with Well BuiltYeah, but… (FAQ)
Trade-specific note: this is built for contractors who need results that show up in bids, jobs, and cash.
What’s the difference between Well Built and other consulting firms?
We’re contractor-specialists. Our work is built around real construction leadership, operations, and project realities.
Do you only work with construction companies?
Yes—our work is built for the building industry. The tools, rhythms, and training are contractor-specific.
Do you replace our current coach, EOS implementer, fractional CFO, etc.?
No. We can work alongside them and help your team implement what matters.
Is this just training, or do you actually help us implement?
We help implement. Training is useful—but only if it becomes new habits, systems, and results.
How long does a typical engagement last?
It depends on your goal. Some start small; others build a longer roadmap for growth and execution.
What does it cost?
Scope drives cost. You’ll know the cost before committing, and we’ll recommend the simplest first step.
