Business ConsultingBuilt for Contractors.
You didn't start a contracting business to spend your evenings buried in job costs, chasing change orders, or wondering why a busy quarter still ended in the red. We help contractors price for profit, tighten operations, and build a team that runs the work without you.
The Problems We Hear Most Often.
Different contractors, same handful of patterns. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
Busy but not profitable
Revenue is up, the schedule is full, profit is flat. Almost always a pricing, job-costing, or overhead allocation problem, and almost always fixable.
Every job runs through you
Estimating, scheduling, customer calls, problem-solving on site. The fix isn't hiring randomly. It's building the right roles and handing off the right work in the right order.
Strong field, messy office
Crews execute well, but invoices go out late, change orders don't get tracked, last quarter's numbers are a mystery. This is a systems problem, not a people problem.
Stuck at the same size
Plateaued at the same revenue for years despite real demand. Usually a capacity, leadership, or pricing ceiling, and which one matters, because each has a different fix.
Hands-On.
Numbers-First.
We're not a firm that hands you a 60-page report and disappears. The engagements that actually change things are the ones where the consultant sticks around long enough to see the fix take hold.
- We start with the numbers, honestly.Job costing, gross margin by job type, overhead, cash flow. Most contracting businesses are sitting on one or two pricing habits quietly eating their margin.
- We map the actual operational flow.From lead in to project closeout. Where does work pile up? Where do balls get dropped? Where is the owner the bottleneck?
- We work on the people side.Who needs to be promoted, who needs to be trained, who needs a role that doesn't exist yet. Contracting businesses live or die on the team's ability to execute without the owner on every site.
- We help you build the rhythm.Weekly numbers reviews, project closeout debriefs, pricing discipline. Boring on paper, transformative in practice.
Margin Discipline
Price your work for profit, not just to win the bid.
Operational Flow
Tighten the lead-to-closeout process so nothing falls through.
Team Leverage
Build the roles, hand off the right work, free the owner.
Operating Rhythm
The weekly habits that turn good months into good years.
Who We Work With.
Galeforce is a fit if any of these describe where you are right now.
Established Contractors
General contractors, remodelers, custom homebuilders, and the major specialty trades: mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete, and others.
Past Survival, Ready to Scale
You're out of the startup grind and ready to work on the business, not just in it. The demand is there. The systems aren't.
Honest About the Numbers
You're willing to look at job costing, margins, and overhead honestly, and act on what they show. That's where every real fix starts.
Looking for a Real Partner
You want a thinking partner who's been around contractors, not a generalist who'll Google "construction industry" before each call.
