SIMPLIFIED SERVICES THAT GETS RESULTS
At Shapcott Lauber, our advisory work isn't theory. It's a structured process built for general and specialty contractors, one that turns your goals into action and your action into measurable results.
We work beside you and your leadership team to help you win the right work, run every job profitably, and know your numbers in time to act. We also help you develop the leaders who will carry the company forward and plan a succession or exit strategy on your terms, so the business you built holds its value long after you step back.
Along the way, we hold everyone accountable and help you spot the blind spots that are quietly costing your company money, time, and good people.

RISK-FREE DISCOVERIES
Shapcott Lauber earns your trust before you invest a dime. Our risk-free business Discoveries give privately held general contractors a clear, honest picture of what's holding the company back and which priorities matter most. From there, our Coaching and Fractional Advisory engagements help you win the right work, run it well, and keep more of what you earn.
BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION AT THE INTERSCTION OF:
ORIGINATE • EXECUTE • MEASURE
TM
Most contractors are strong in one area and stretched in the others. Real control comes when all three work together.
Originate, find, price and close the right work so the pipeline is predictable.
Execute, run every job from sale to close out on systems, not heroics.
Measure, keep score to see real job profit and cash in time to act.
FROM OWNER-DEPENDENT TO Owner-Led
WHERE MOST CONTRACTORS ARE TODAY
X Every decision lands on the owners desk
X Work comes in feast or famine
X Jobs run on heroics, not systems
X Margins are a guest until year-end
X Busy, but cash is always tight
X No clear plan for succession or exit
WHERE WE TAKE YOU
✓ A leadership team that carry's the load
✓ A predictable pipeline of the right work
✓ Jobs that run the same way every time
✓ Numbers you can count on in time to act
✓ 3-5 points of margin as the goal
✓ A company that holds its value
"We turn hard-working contractors into business owners in control of
their company, profit and future."
