The big idea

Think like a general contractor

A GC doesn't pour the concrete, run the wire and set the plumbing personally. A GC wins the job, brings the right trades together and makes sure everybody gets paid. Capacity doesn't only come from employees. It comes from connections.

Partner for overflow

Stop turning work away. Line up a trusted provider who can take jobs under a clear agreement when you're at capacity.

Refer with complementary trades

Your customers already buy from the trade next door. Turn those businesses into referral partners who send work back.

Tap Texas workforce programs

Registered apprenticeships and Workforce Solutions business services can help you hire, train and grow.

Who it's for

Built for solo operators and small crews

• Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, remodelers, roofers and landscapers
• Owners who can only sell the hours they and their crew can physically work
• Startups that want bigger jobs without hiring before they're ready

“The shops that grow past the owner's own two hands don't do it alone — they build a bench of partners.”
