BUILD A Strategic Foundation
If you’re looking for AI training, workshops, or 1:1 strategic advisory, this profile still applies—get in touch and we’ll guide you to the right engagement.
Who BUILD Is For
We work with CEOs and owners of mid-market AEC firms facing one of two urgent realities:
- You’re actively losing ground to PE-backed or digitally mature competitors
- You’re preparing for an exit or merger in the next 6–12 months and need to maximize enterprise value before the deal process begins
If you’re under immediate competitive pressure—or your investment banker has recommended strategic positioning work—we should talk.
We understand board timelines, value-creation expectations, and M&A realities, whether you’re preparing for exit, navigating post-acquisition integration, or defending your position in a consolidating market.
Our Best BUILD Clients Look Like This
You Move Fast
- You trust your instincts and make decisions quickly
- You take action instead of getting stuck in analysis paralysis
- You don’t need convincing, credential theater, or hand-holding
When we give you direction, you run with it.
You have high emotional Intelligence
- You can handle honest, unfiltered feedback without taking it personally
- You value truth over validation
- You don’t need us to manage your emotions or build consensus for you
You’re here to solve real problems.
You’re Fighting For Something
You’re not just trying to maintain the status quo.
You might be:
- Defending market position against consolidators
- Building a business aligned with who you are as a leader
- Positioning for the highest possible valuation before exit
You see obstacles as challenges to solve—not reasons to slow down.
You Know You’re the Bottleneck
- The business is growing, but too much still runs through you
- You want to scale without losing what makes your company different
- You care about culture, identity, and integrity—not just growth
- You want scale with intention—not a generic playbook.
You Value Direction Over Complexity
- You don’t need a 47-step framework
- You want clarity, alignment, and momentum
- You want a 90-day roadmap your team can actually execute
You value resilience and strategic clarity over perfect plans.
You See Strategy as an Investment
You’re prepared to invest $35,000+ because you understand this:
Documented positioning, marketing systems, and sales-marketing alignment don’t just improve execution—they directly impact revenue, margin, and valuation.
