Training and coaching for construction business owners. The work: estimating, job costing, operations, and sales flow. For contractors, renovation companies, home builders, electricians, plumbers, and trades. Transparent pricing. No hype.
Not a generic business coach who happens to have contractor clients. Construction is the specialty. Estimating, job costing, operations, and how the books actually flow — it's all one conversation.
None of these are unusual. They're the same handful of issues that keep showing up in construction companies as they grow.
Every engagement starts with a free discovery call. From there you pick your path — a diagnostic, coaching, or both. Neither requires the other.
A short, direct call to understand your business, identify the biggest bottleneck, and recommend the best next step. It's a fit conversation — not free consulting and not a sales pitch. If nothing I offer is right for you, I'll tell you that.
Focused, finite engagements with a written deliverable. Pick one area — profit, systems, or sales — or do the full Contractor Health Check. You walk away with a prioritized action plan you can use with or without coaching.
Regular 1-on-1 sessions with direct support between calls. Built around your estimating, job costing, team, and sales flow — not generic business frameworks. No diagnostic required — plenty of owners start here. It ends with a hand-over and a graduation check, and most owners graduate to the Alumni & Mentor Check-in.
Coaching runs 12 weeks, then regular check-ins if you want them. Diagnostics are fixed-fee.
Real implementation, not just conversations.
Built for solo operators and smaller teams who need to get pricing, systems, and profitability under control.
For companies that need faster implementation and tighter accountability — typically growing teams or businesses under pressure.
At the end of the 12 weeks we check the business against the goals we set at the start. Most owners graduate to the Alumni & Mentor Check-in. If there’s a clear reason to keep going weekly or bi-weekly, we agree in writing what the next block is for and when we’ll review it. No term lock-in, no retainer.
One session with Eddy on a rhythm that suits you: monthly, every two months, or quarterly. Bring the decision in front of you; leave with a plan. No minimum term; change the rhythm or stop any time.
Sale-Readiness Re-check · $300 CAD. Graduates of Contractor Core or Fast Track can have their Sale-Readiness score re-checked against their graduation result, whenever they want one. It’s optional and booked separately, and it doesn’t include text or email support.
Every coaching engagement draws on the same set of tools, and you only get the ones your business needs. A client who needs contract language and margin help doesn’t get handed the whole box.

Where profit is leaking — pricing, overhead, labour burden, job costing, and cash flow.
How work moves from sold to delivered — and where it gets stuck on the owner.
Why sales are up-and-down — lead flow, qualification, quoting, and close rate.
A complete look at profit, systems, and sales together — the most accurate read on where to invest your next 90 days.
Credit toward Fast Track: 50% of your diagnostic fee can be credited toward Contractor Fast Track if you start within 30 days.
One-on-one coaching is for owner-run construction businesses, from a first-year start-up through a team of about thirty. Past that, or outside construction, the work changes, and so do the options: see group coaching and management consulting.
Past thirty or so people, the owner usually isn’t the only bottleneck anymore — it’s the managers in the middle, and whatever they’re carrying. For those companies there are two options: group coaching for the management team, and management consulting when the company needs a full review of how it actually runs.

We talk. I ask direct questions about revenue, estimating, job costing, team, and sales. By the end, I recommend the best next step — even if that's not working together.
Most owners start with Contractor Fast Track, because twelve weekly sessions is where the work actually gets done. If you’d rather see the whole picture before you commit, start with a diagnostic, and half of that fee comes off Fast Track if you start within 30 days. Either way, coaching starts with a plan built for your business from the discovery call and the first session, covering only what you need.
For diagnostics: a findings call and a written summary with prioritized actions. For coaching: a focused plan for your first 90 days with clear owner and team accountability, and your starting Sale-Readiness score — how well the business runs without you today.
In coaching, we meet regularly and work the plan. We review what's moving, what isn't, and adjust — on margin, systems, pricing, and team structure. It finishes with a hand-over — the tools go to your team, or for a solo operator, onto a weekly routine set up so your first hire can step straight into it — and a graduation check against the goals we set at the start.
To the Alumni & Mentor Check-in, or finish with your 90-day plan and run it yourself.
A construction business coach helps contractors and trades owners fix the parts of the business that don't show up on a job site — pricing and margin, job costing, systems, cash flow, getting paid, hiring, and getting the owner out of doing everything. The focus is practical operating decisions, not motivation. Many engagements start with a fixed-fee diagnostic to find the real problem first, but a diagnostic isn't required — coaching can start directly.
At the end of the 12 weeks we check the business against the goals we set at the start. By then your team — or, if you work alone, your weekly routine — is already running the tools. From there most owners graduate to the Alumni & Mentor Check-in ($450 per check-in, no minimum term), and some finish with a written 90-day plan and carry on alone. If there’s a clear reason to keep going weekly or bi-weekly, we agree in writing what the next block is for and when we’ll review it.
No. That’s the opposite of the goal. The work is about building a business that runs without the owner, and without me. Your team runs the tools before we finish, and we measure how well the business runs without you at the start and again at the end.
It won’t run without you entirely, and that isn’t the goal. The test is simpler: could you take two weeks off and have nothing fall through the cracks? For a solo operator the tools go onto a weekly routine — numbers on Monday, invoices on Friday — so they run without you having to remember them, and they’re set up so your first hire can step straight into them.
Yes. For companies past about thirty staff, and for engineering firms and other project-based businesses, there are two options: group coaching for your management team, and management consulting, where I review how the whole company runs. Both are built for the company, so they’re quoted after a conversation.
Yes. Solo operators are a common starting point, including businesses in their first year. The focus is usually on pricing, job costing, and getting out of the owner-does-everything trap before hiring.
Based in BC, but coaching and diagnostics run by Google Meet for clients across Canada.
First-year start-ups through companies with roughly 30 staff. The work stays credible up to around $20M in revenue, where the conversation shifts more toward team structure, management layers, and financial governance.
Most owners start with Contractor Fast Track. If you already know where it hurts, twelve weekly sessions working on the problem will get you further than another report. A diagnostic makes sense when you can’t tell which problem to fix first, or when your banker or partner wants to see real numbers, and half the diagnostic fee credits toward Fast Track if you start within 30 days. We’ll sort out which one fits on the discovery call.
Yes — this is core to the work. Estimating, job costing, overhead recovery, labour burden, margin targets, and cash flow are the starting point for most engagements.
No. I work alongside your accountant and bookkeeper so your financial systems actually give you useful, timely information. Tax and compliance work stays with the professionals qualified to do it — the focus here is legitimate tax efficiency, structure, and asset planning in coordination with them.
Yes. All prices on this page are in Canadian dollars and do not include GST.
Usually somewhere between 20 and 45 minutes. It depends on your situation and how much I need to find out about the business before I can tell you honestly what would help. It's free, and there's no pitch.
