Who We Are
Shapcott Lauber is a contractor-focused advisory firm that helps privately held general and specialty contractors win the right work, strengthen operations, and grow and protect their margins. Our Discoveries, Business Coaching, and Fractional Advisory services give owners honest answers and a clear plan for profitable, lasting growth.
Business Coaching
Shapcott Lauber's Business Coaching helps privately held general and specialty contractors turn Discovery findings into results. Through regular working sessions with owners and their leadership teams, we build accountability, install practical systems, and track progress until the business runs more profitably and depends less on the owner.
Fractional Advisory
Shapcott Lauber's Fractional Advisory services give privately held general and specialty contractors senior-level expertise without a full-time hire. We step in as part-time advisors on finance, operations, or growth, guiding decisions, strengthening your leadership team, and keeping the business on track toward stronger margins and lasting value.
Want to Add 3-5+ Points to Your Bottom Line
Our Roadmap to a Stronger, More Valuable Contractor Business Will Help You Get There.
S&Ls 7-Step Contractor Business Control™ Framework is the roadmap we use with general and specialty contractors to turn hard work into a business that pays off. It starts with the foundation: the right people and the systems that let them run on structure instead of on you. At its core are Originate, Execute, and Measure, the three steps that transform the business by winning the right work, delivering it profitably, and knowing the score before closeout instead of after. From there, you make what works repeatable and harvest the rewards. For a GC managing subs and schedules, or a specialty contractor protecting margin on every crew-hour, the result is the same: more profit kept, less dependence on the owner, and a company worth more when it's time to step back.
BUILT FOR EVERY CORNER OF CONSTRUCTION
Our clients work across commercial, multifamily, residential, and design-build construction, plus the specialty trades that make every project possible.
The work looks different in each segment, but the business problems are the same: winning the right jobs, protecting margin, keeping cash flowing, and building a team that doesn't depend on the owner for every decision.
Whatever you build, if you're privately held and ready for more control, we can help. Here are some of the segments that S&L and our clients serve in:
✓ Residential Remodeling Renovation
