It starts with an in-person HR/business audit.

Every engagement starts with a comprehensive HR audit. We don’t believe in generic solutions or long, cluttered service lists. We dive deep into your business to see where you stand and where you need to go.

What it is

A thorough look under the hood of your people operations to identify hidden risks and missed opportunities.

How it works

Practical, in-person, and zero bureaucracy. We meet your team, review your processes, and keep it real.

What you get

A prioritized action plan, best practices, and a clear roadmap to keep your business safe and steady.

Trusted Consulting, Proven Results

help owner-led construction businesses bring order to people chaos.

Not HR theatre.
Not fluffy culture talk.
Not babysitting adults.

I help you:

  • make clean people decisions
  • deal with issues before they blow up
  • protect the business from avoidable risk
  • stop guessing what’s required vs optional

So things feel calmer, steadier, and more predictable.

Where Real Businesses Get Real HR.

In-Person HR Audit

Every engagement begins with our CatalystHR Deep Dive — a half-day, on-site HR audit that cuts through the noise. You’ll walk away with a Red-Yellow-Green report showing exactly what’s compliant, what’s risky, and what to fix now — so there’s no guessing, no jargon, and no surprises.

Business-First, Not Bureaucratic

We understand the realities of running a business. Your systems need to work for you — not slow you down. Our strategies protect your company, support your people, and simplify your life. We speak plain English, not policy manuals.

Tailored, Hands-On Partnership

We don’t sell templates. We build systems that fit your team and your pace. We work directly with your owner, office manager, or supervisors to get things done — in person, not just over email.

Flexible and Fractional

You get experienced HR leadership without the overhead of hiring full-time. Whether you need monthly compliance support, help with investigations, or ongoing leadership coaching, we scale to match your business growth.

This work tends to work best when:

  •  
    You’re an owner-led construction or trade business
  •  
    You have 10–50 people (Foundation) or growing beyond that
  •  
    You’re involved in people decisions
  •  
    You want fewer surprises and clearer standards
  •  
    You’re open to being challenged
  •  
    You care about protecting the business, not just getting through the week

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to be honest about what’s not working.

This probably won’t work well if:

  •  
    You want someone to just write policies or handle admin HR
  •  
    You’re looking for hourly support
  •  
    You want hiring or recruiting execution
  •  
    You avoid hard conversations
  •  
    You want to debate line items instead of outcomes

There’s no judgment here. It just means this isn’t the right setup.

No.

I’m happy to help you think through hiring decisions, role clarity, and risk — but I don’t run recruitment processes.

No.

Hourly work encourages dragging things out. This work is about judgment, speed, and preventing mistakes.

Pricing depends on the size of your team, how complex things are, and how much pressure is sitting on leadership.

We talk about this openly once we understand what you actually need.

If you’re looking for the cheapest option, this won’t be it.

That’s usually when people reach out.

The earlier issues get handled, the easier they are to clean up — but I regularly step in when things already feel heavy.

Yes.

I work with construction, trades, manufacturing, and other owner-led businesses where people issues carry real financial and legal risk.

If we’re working together, you’re not left guessing.

Urgent issues get handled quickly so they don’t spiral.

Longer than they expect.

Most clients stay because things feel calmer, clearer, and easier to manage.

That’s exactly what the first conversation is for.

If it’s not the right fit, I’ll tell you.

If you want someone steady in your corner who will tell you the truth and help you protect what you’re building, we’ll work well together.

Start Here

No sales pitch. No pressure. Just a clear conversation.
