GROW YOUR CONCRETING BUSINESS WITH FOCUSED COACHING & MENTORSHIP

Concreting is demanding, high-output work. You’re managing pours, crews, plant and subcontractors – often all at once. More than everybody else, you need to get the jobs finished before 10am when your boys get on the piss (Haha).

But staying busy isn’t the same as making money, and most concreting business owners know that gap too well.
As a concreter business coach, I help concreting business owners close that gap – with the pricing, systems and team management that turns a hard-working concreting operation into a profitable one.

Common problems we fix

Quoting jobs lean to win them, then watching the margin disappear on labour and plant
Crew utilisation is low – too much standing around, too much travel between jobs
Extra work done on site without a variation process to capture and invoice it
Scheduling is reactive – you’re filling gaps rather than planning ahead
Cash flow is a constant stress – big jobs, slow payments, wages every week
No time to run the business properly because you’re on the tools or the site every day

How coaching helps

Price book & quoting: a proper costing model that builds in labour, plant, materials, travel and overheads so you quote with confidence and protect your margin from the start.

Crew utilisation & scheduling: systems to plan pours, allocate labour efficiently and reduce unproductive time so you get more from the team you already have.

Variation management: a clear, consistent process for identifying and invoicing scope changes so extra work always makes it onto the invoice.

Cash flow management: invoicing discipline, progress claim timing and a simple cash flow view so you always know what’s coming in and when.

Numbers that matter: weekly visibility on margin, labour cost and job performance so you can catch problems early and fix them before they cost you.

Do you work with concreting businesses specifically?

Yes. I work exclusively with trades and construction businesses. Concreting has its own characteristics – plant costs, pour schedules, subcontractor management – and the coaching framework is built around the realities of running that kind of operation.

What's usually the first thing we fix?

Usually pricing and labour recovery. Most concreting businesses are winning work at reasonable rates but losing margin in the execution – labour running over, plant not costed correctly, variations not captured. That’s where we start because it has the fastest impact.

Can you help with cash flow?

Yes. Cash flow in concreting is a real pressure – big jobs, delayed payments, weekly wages. We put simple systems in place: invoicing discipline, progress claim timing, and a basic cash flow view so you’re not surprised by what’s in the account.

What if my business is already at a decent size?

Good. The framework scales. Whether you’re at $800k or $3 million, the fundamentals – pricing, margins, systems, people – are the same. We’ll work at the level you’re at and build from there.
