Tamika co-owned a construction business, so she knows the estimating, the variations, the progress claims and the cashflow gap between them.
Builders carry the biggest numbers in the trades and the thinnest margins when pricing is wrong. Coaching starts with your gross profit per hour and your work in progress, then the systems that let you step off the tools and run the business.
Coaching is with Tamika, online, wherever you are in Australia. Weekly calls and help between them.
For a builder, coaching usually begins with two numbers: gross profit per hour across the jobs on the go, and the work in progress sitting between what has been claimed and what has been spent. Those two tell you whether the business is making money today, not at the end of the financial year.
From there we work on pricing that covers the real cost of running a building business, variations that get charged, progress claims that go out on time, and the systems and people that let you step off the tools and run the business.
Hourly rates and material markups both hide your real margin. Here is how to price trade work from your true cost per productive hour, with a worked example.

Yes. Progress claims, deposits, variation pricing and work-in-progress tracking are the levers, and they are the core of the builder coaching work.
