Still carrying the whole business on your shoulders?
It's time to run your company,
not chase it.
2026 is coming
What are you doing to make a difference?
THE PROPOSITION
If you’re growing — but still firefighting — a Fractional COO gives you the structure, systems, and leadership your business needs to scale properly.
Here’s what you get when we work together:
1. Stabilise Your Operations
Clear workflows, predictable delivery, less chaos, fewer surprises.
2. Free Yourself From the Daily Grind
Your team begins to lead. You stop being the only decision-maker.
3. Build Systems That Run Without You
Processes that create consistency — even when you step back.
4. Grow With Confidence
Better planning, better reporting, and fewer fires.
5. Prepare for Scale — or Exit
A business that can grow, or be sold, because it no longer depends on you.
This is how contractors move from survival mode → control → growth.

Founder of Savvy Projects and Savvy Executive Partners
I bring Tier One operational standards into SME contracting without the overhead.
This is not generic business coaching.
This is construction leadership, built on lived experience.
I help construction business owners move from firefighting to focused growth — bringing stability, structure, systems, and control that last long after I’m gone.
WHO THIS IS FOR ?
This is for contractors who:
Are growing but feel constantly overwhelmed
Want stronger managers, better systems, and less chaos
Know the business needs structure — but don’t have time to build it
Need help preparing for the next phase (scale, stability, or exit)
Want to stop working 70–80 hours just to stay on top of things
Want clarity, control, and confidence
This is NOT for people who want:
A quick fix
A motivational course
More apps without improving delivery fundamentals
This is real operational leadership — applied in the real world.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Most SME contractors grow “by accident,” not by design.
Work keeps coming in.
The team tries their best.
But without structure:
the owner becomes the bottleneck
managers stay reactive
quality becomes inconsistent
stress becomes the normal state
weekends disappear
and one bad project can set you back a year
Structure beats chaos — every time.
A Fractional COO installs that structure.
WHAT’S INCLUDED

Operational audit
Staff and structure assessment
Preconstruction and delivery workflow analysis
Installation of systems (planning, reporting, procurement rhythm, communication)
Leadership and manager development

Board-level support when needed

A clear roadmap for stability, structure, and scale
You get a co-pilot, not a consultant.
