We think like owners' reps. And build like a GC. Every project starts with understanding. Knowing what the owner wants and needs. It's about finding the best way to build without cutting corners. Always thinking ahead. Spotting problems before they happen. And keeping surprises to a minimum. That’s the owners’ rep mindset. But there's more. Being a GC means taking action. Making sure every detail is right. From the foundation to the finishing touches. And this blend of thinking and doing is where the magic happens. The best of both worlds. That's what’s brought to the table on our projects. One strong team. One smooth process. Every single time. #saltcm #construction #commercial

2024: Proof you can simplify anything! This year, I was either cycling 8,500km across Europe with just 10kg of luggage, or helping businesses turn contracts into tools that actually work. Highlights: 🎉Celebrated 10 years of simplifying contracts with my twin sister Emma joining the team. 👏Earned glowing feedback for making construction law practical and engaging. 🎤Moderated (aka MCed) events and expanded our work beyond construction. 🖥Crafted radically simple agreements with the Majoto Beta Club and TermScout. 🚵♂️Balanced time on client work and teaching commitments, with pedalling through 14 countries. Biggest lesson: Simplicity is everything—whether you're crossing continents or closing deals. Strip away the fluff, focus on what matters, and trust the process. Looking ahead to 2025: Let’s make deal-making simpler together! I’m Sarah 🦊 Simplifying contracts for business success

Success on every project starts with solid groundwork, and preconstruction is where it all begins. It’s about gathering critical information, defining the scope, and aligning trades and subcontractors from the start to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction. With the right preparation in place, our team is set up to execute efficiently, no matter the challenge. Whether we have all the details upfront or need to navigate uncertainties along the way, our proven processes keep things on track and ensure seamless delivery. From preconstruction to the final build, every step is handled with precision and purpose—that’s how we #BuildToLast. #DesignBuild #ConstructionLeadership #TeamworkInAction

Reflecting back on our RedTeam on the Road session in Orlando, JOANNE CARRABIS, Director of Construction Operations at Iron Fish Construction, LLC, discussed how implementing RedTeam into their workflows significantly increased profits by capturing previously missed change orders. Contractors, often busy on job sites, would forget to record these orders, but RedTeam ensured they were tracked and captured, boosting revenue. The visible revenue increase motivated the team to continue using RedTeam, underscoring the importance of quantifiable results in adopting new workflows. 📊 #ConstructionSuccess #ProfitBoost

We've arrived at the final month of 2024. Crazy to think about, honestly. It seems as though we were just shouting Happy New Year! But in this short year we've accomplished so much. Multiple projects in states spanning the Southeast. Contracts completed and contracts begun that we won't complete for months, even years from now. Personal team developments and milestones met that have strengthened our foundation. It's been a great year. And next year proves to be even Greater. 😉 What are your end of year goals? #concrete #construction #concreteconstruction #concretecontractor

We bought a new house a month ago, and have been moving for the last month, which means I’ve had tools in my hands more in the last month than pretty much any time since I was a kid working on my dad’s jobsites.   From planes (sticking door), power screwdrivers (building bookcases), impact drivers (mounting bookcases), mallets, hammers, etc. etc.   And I had two thoughts as I was doing this. First was “What h**l was I thinking deciding to do all this myself? I’m too old for this s**t.”   Second, and maybe more interesting, I was thinking about aspects of how tool-specific skills  both stack on top of each other and inform and extend each other in enabling me to achieve goals.   Being able to plane a door depends on other skills – like being able to dismount one. It also requires the ability to see how things fit in space, which adds to other abilities, like the ability to set a lock in a door, or to assemble a bookcase that’s square without cabinet clamps or an assistant.   And it made me think about Agile and what I do professionally in a slightly different context. ...link to the rest in comments.

If you own a construction company with a team of 5 to 20 people and are looking for increased revenues and time freedom, listen up! I bring a wealth of experience, having led teams to $100M in sales as a subcontractor over the past decade and a half. Here's what we worked on... 1- Identified what each team member had to do to hit revenue goals 2- Helped the team prioritize profit-producing activities and enabled them to automate, delegate, or eliminate the non-productive activities to streamline their efforts  3- Removing myself from the day-to-day to be able to gain that 30,000-foot view to provide the team with the direction that they need The result is that we were able to create a self-managing team that achieved consistent revenue growth (both top-line and bottom-line) and increased time freedom. If you are ready to FINALLY grow your revenues with your existing team and reclaim your time freedom, DM me to book a call. No pressure. No hard sell.
