4 Client Slots Open · Engagements Start This Week

Need something done? We start this week.

A bid due Friday. A dashboard nobody trusts. A process that exists in one person's head. Whatever's stacking up right now — that's exactly what ClearBuildCo is built for.

ClearBuildCo places a senior construction operator inside your business — on the tasks that matter, for as long as you need — then exits cleanly when the work is done.

No ramp time. We understand construction. We start moving on day one.
A doer, not an advisor. We move real work — not decks, not frameworks.
One task or a monthly desk. Scope it small or build a recurring support layer.

How It Works
A contractor should understand the entire company in under 10 seconds.
01
Tell
Us.
  • What's stuck?
  • What's late?
  • What's sitting on next quarter's list?
02
Scope
It.
  • One task.
  • One sprint.
  • One operating desk.
03
Do
It.
  • We start this week.
  • Senior operators execute.
  • We document what was built.
GO
Go.
  • The work moved.
  • The friction is gone.
  • Your team keeps going.
Tell Us. Scope It. Do It. Go.
Movement and execution. Not another framework.

You already know what needs to improve. That's never been the problem.

Forecasting. Dashboards. SOPs. Handoffs. AI. The list isn't a mystery. The problem has never been awareness — it's having the capacity to actually get to it.

The issue is rarely awareness.
The issue is capacity.

The goal isn't more ideas. The goal is getting the right ideas implemented.

The Backlog Has A Price Tag
$50M contractor · 0.5% improvement$250,000
$50M contractor · 1.0% improvement$500,000
Small improvements compound. Delayed improvements compound too.

One specific thing that needs to move. That's where we start.

Most engagements begin with a single named problem — a bid that's behind, a process that's broken, a capacity gap nobody owns. You don't need a program. You need the thing done.

Preconstruction

"A bid is due Friday and nobody has time to finish it."

  • Scope gaps unresolved — we close them
  • Proposal needs a professional pass before it goes out
  • Estimate file needs organization before pricing runs
  • Sub scope review sitting in someone's queue
  • Precon coordination work that nobody currently owns
Operations

"We know exactly what's broken. We just don't have the bandwidth."

  • Dashboard nobody trusts — we rebuild it and document the structure
  • AI tool purchased, still not connected to a real workflow
  • SOP that exists in someone's head and nowhere else
  • Handoff from preconstruction that's already losing information
  • Reporting that resets from scratch every month
Leadership

"We need a senior operator. We can't justify another full-time seat."

  • Meeting prep that actually requires construction knowledge
  • Project that needs senior eyes on the controls — not a status update
  • Interim coverage while a PM search runs
  • Improvement initiative that's been tabled three times running
  • Decision that needs structured data before it gets made
Whatever's true for you right now — tell us the one thing that needs to move and we'll scope it from there.

What you've tried
VA

Offshore task farms

Low cost, zero construction context. Work comes back wrong and you spend more time fixing it than doing it yourself. They've never been in a trailer, read a subcontract, or built a bid schedule under deadline.

What ClearBuildCo is
SPM

Senior PM who does the work

ENR Top 10 to ENR 200. We've run the bid, built the dashboard, written the SOP, sat in the OAC. We know what good looks like because we've built it — under the same pressure you're under right now.

What you can't justify
FTE

Full-time senior hire

$150K+ all-in for a role you need 15 hours a month. Slow to hire, hard to right-size, harder to exit. The business pays for a seat that costs more than the problem it solves.

Delay doesn't just slow things down. It compounds.

Operational drag isn't a single problem — it's a chain. One delay creates the next. Most contractors feel the symptoms without seeing how far back the cause actually starts.

01
Improvements Get Delayed
  • Backlog stays the same
  • Busy work takes priority
  • No dedicated capacity
Problems don't get solved.
02
Decisions Get Delayed
  • Outdated or incomplete data
  • Waiting on information
  • Everyone proceeds anyway
Wrong calls. Missed opportunities.
03
Rework Increases
  • Fixing preventable mistakes
  • Clarifying scope gaps
  • Rebuilding coordination
More time. More cost. Lower morale.
04
Margin Erodes
  • Unrecoverable hours
  • Change orders pile up
  • Inefficiency compounds
Profitability takes a hit.
05
Growth Is Limited
  • Capacity maxed out
  • Too busy to improve
  • Can't scale effectively
The business stays stuck.
Small improvements compound. Small delays compound too.
$50M Contractor · 0.5% Improvement
$250,000
In recoverable margin. Every year.
$50M Contractor · 1.0% Improvement
$500,000
In recoverable margin. Every year.
The Real Cost

It's not the price of solving problems.
It's the cost of delaying them.

Operational drag doesn't feel expensive. Until you price it out.

Every contractor has champions — experienced people who know what needs to improve. The problem isn't knowledge. It's capacity. The champions are running current work. The improvement work never gets done. And it costs more than most firms realize.

Scenario 01

One missed bid opportunity per quarter

$40K–$200K
In lost gross margin — because the pursuit was underprepared, the proposal went out thin, or the team didn't have capacity to build a competitive number.
Scenario 02

A PM spending 6 hrs/week on reporting nobody trusts

$18K–$30K/yr
In fully-loaded PM time — producing a dashboard rebuilt from scratch every month because nobody documented the structure or owns the data.
Scenario 03

Lessons learned that never reach the next project

Repeating cost
Same scope gaps, same coordination breakdowns, same close-out friction — project after project. The session happened. The output never made it into operations.
Most contractors don't need another hire. They need someone to clear the operational drag that's quietly compounding across every project, every quarter.
See If We're a Fit

"Think of us as a Senior Construction Chief of Staff — the operator who handles everything your best people would do if they weren't buried running current work."

From ENR Top 10 general contractors to regional ENR 200 specialty firms, we've seen the full spectrum — firms that run clean and firms one bad project away from a margin crisis. We know where the problems live because we've had to solve them under deadline, under budget pressure, and with the same stretched teams you're dealing with right now.

You're not getting someone who's read about construction operations. You're getting someone who's been in the room when decisions like yours were made — and had to live with the outcomes.

We take on four clients at a time. Not because we can't scale — because we won't compromise what we give. Every client gets our full attention. Every engagement gets our best work.

Experience
15+ years across GC and specialty contractor environments — field-side, not firm-side
Firm Scale
ENR Top 10 to ENR 200 — large platform discipline applied at regional firm speed
Functions Run
Pursuits, estimating, operations, preconstruction, process improvement, tech stack, data & BI systems
Project Scope
$1M to $300M+ — across commercial, industrial, healthcare, and infrastructure
Background
Contractor-side operator and construction industry consultant — not a career advisor
Roster
Four clients maximum — every engagement gets our best, not a shared task queue

Your best people are too busy running the business to improve it.

We said it on the way in: the issue is rarely awareness. It's capacity. The champion knows what needs to change. They've known for six months. But every time they get close, a project pulls them back. ClearBuildCo is the Senior PM who handles what the champion would do — if they had the time.

Without a Senior PM Doer
With ClearBuildCo
Bid due Friday — scope gaps unresolved, champion is on-site and unavailable
Scope reviewed, gaps flagged, bid assembled and submitted on time
Lessons learned session held — findings filed, never applied to the next pursuit
Lessons captured, structured, entered in Knowledge Bank™, applied at next project kickoff
AI tool purchased 3 months ago — still not connected to a real workflow, team ignores it
Tool configured, prompt library built, workflow mapped, team running it independently
Dashboard rebuilt by a different PM every month — nobody trusts the numbers
Structure rebuilt, ownership documented, data cleaned — drives the weekly meeting
New PM onboards — SOPs exist somewhere, each does it differently, rework starts
SOPs rebuilt with the team, version-controlled in Knowledge Bank™, applied day one

Three ways to engage. One Senior PM.

Think of ClearBuildCo as a Senior Construction Chief of Staff — the operator who handles what your best people would do if they weren't buried running current projects. Deployed as a task, a sprint, a monthly desk, or fractional leadership. Every engagement feeds the CBC Knowledge Bank™ so your firm's operating intelligence compounds over time, not just in the moment.

Fixed-Scope Sprints

Four problems we see often enough to have already built the playbook. Same Senior PM, fixed scope, fixed price, clean exit — no ongoing hours required.

Precon-to-Ops Handoff Sprint
Standardize the handoff from estimating to the field — the PM running the job gets what preconstruction knew, not a clean sheet.
WIP Intelligence Sprint
Build a WIP dashboard your PMs trust and leadership actually uses — current, synced, and tied to how decisions get made.
AI Readiness Sprint
Map the estimating system before bolting on AI — tool selection, workflow design, and a prompt library your team will use.
Lessons Learned Activation Sprint
Capture what the last job taught you and apply it to the next one — instead of repeating the same scope gaps by default.

One completed improvement helps one project. Twenty changes the business.

Priced against the cost of the problem. Not the cost of a task.

One missed bid. One PM rebuilding the same dashboard every month. One SOP that never got written. The operational drag in most $20M–$200M contractors runs well above what a support desk costs.

A fully-loaded senior PM hire runs $150,000+ per year. A ClearBuildCo desk gives you that capability where you actually need it — without the headcount, the ramp time, or the exit conversation.

Monthly Support Credits
 
Operational Support Desk
Starting At
$2,000
/ month

One recovered bid opportunity pays for a full year.
 
Dedicated Operational Desk
Starting At
$7,500
/ month
A dedicated support layer. Closest to having a Senior PM on staff — without the seat, the salary, or the overhead.
5% of a full-time hire. None of the overhead.

Monthly capacity is defined and confirmed during your diagnostic call — not billed hour by hour.

Tell us what's stuck.

A bid behind. A dashboard nobody trusts. A process that only exists in someone's head. A project nobody has time to own. Send us a brief description and we'll come back within one business day with a clear scope — or an honest conversation about whether we're the right fit.

This is not a lead form. We read every submission, come prepared, and only take on work we're confident we can move. You'll know quickly whether this makes sense.
