Who we serve
General Contractors
You’re responsible for the entire job—scope, schedule, subs, owners, designers, cash flow, and outcomes. You don’t need more theory. You need clarity, aligned teams, and execution that protects margin.
What’s probably making this hard right now
- Change orders, scope gaps, and misaligned expectations creating daily fires.
- Buyout / procurement pressure—best price vs best value vs long-term partner trust.
- Margin fade that doesn’t show up until it’s too late (WIP rhythm is unclear or inconsistent).
- Cash flow stress: billing, retainage, pay apps, and project timing never lining up cleanly.
- Field/office friction: missed handoffs between precon → ops, or PMs → supers → subs.
- “We’re busy” but the business still feels reactive and owner-dependent.
What this costs you
- Schedule risk, rework, and tough conversations that become disputes.
- PMs spending time reacting instead of leading.
- Owners and designers losing trust—even when your team is working hard.
- Backlog that looks good on paper but doesn’t translate to predictable profit.
- High performers burning out while “systems” lag behind growth.
Enter — Well Built
We help general contractors build a business that’s clear, aligned, and repeatable—so projects run predictably and margins hold. We’re not here to hand you a binder. We help you decide what matters, build the habits, and implement the systems that stick.
Business Strategy
Get clear on where you’re going, what to fix first, and how to scale without chaos.
Get Work
Win the right work with better targeting, better terms, and less wasted estimating effort.
Do Work
Improve project execution, team alignment, and financial control so profit shows up on purpose.
How we typically help GCs
- Diagnose the real constraint (not just the loudest symptom) and build a prioritized plan.
- Strengthen project execution with simple rhythms: planning, buyout, communication, WIP, accountability.
- Upgrade leadership & culture so teams can scale and stay aligned under pressure.
- Improve “getting work” so you pursue profitable fits and negotiate from strength.
What we don’t do
This list can expand later — for now, here’s the line in the sand:
- We’re not a staffing agency or temp labor provider.
- We don’t replace your CPA, attorney, or insurance advisor.
- We don’t sell software (and we’re not paid to recommend tools).
- We don’t run your projects for you day-to-day.
- We’re not a claims/litigation firm.
We can work alongside your coach, EOS implementer, fractional CFO, etc. Our job is to complement what’s already working and help your team implement what matters.

Talk with Well BuiltYeah, but… (FAQ)
GC-specific note: this is built for contractors who want practical change—not generic consulting.
What’s the difference between Well Built and other consulting firms?
We’re contractor-specialists. We don’t lead with theory—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. We often help translate strategy into implementation and build systems that make the whole team stronger.
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 clients start with a focused project; others build a longer roadmap for growth, leadership, and execution.
What does it cost?
Scope drives cost. We’ll recommend the simplest starting point that creates momentum—and you’ll know the cost before committing.
How do we get started?
Start with a conversation. We’ll listen, ask a few questions, and point you to the best first step.
