Whenever we do anything new in our business or even if I just have a gut feeling something is a bit risky I run it by Michelle and she sets us on the right path. That peace of mind is priceless. 

If you have any doubt whatsoever about whether or not you need this service contact me via our website and I'll tell you all the reasons you do." 

Brice Gifkins - BMG Building

"We got Michelle involved in 2017 when one builder started showing signs of financial distress. My intuition told me that something was off but I didn’t know what or how to do anything about it.

Michelle taught us what to say when the builder would give excuses for not paying us. With these strategies we were able to bring in most of our payments before the builder went broke and thankfully our trade credit insurance covered the rest. 

Just knowing what to say and having someone to give us some insight about why our builder was behaving the way it was made a huge difference to our situation – both in business and for us personally throughout the ordeal. 

We could have been the best subbie in the world and those jobs would still have gone sour because the builder's own problems were bigger than us.

We now recognise that behavior when we see it and we are able to act faster and make better business decisions for working with Michelle."

Phill Davison - Storm Electrical

"Michelle found us a few years ago when she contacted us out of the blue because she noticed something on our website that she knew could become a huge problem for us in the future. 

This isn't the first time I've been in business and we run a tight ship so I didn't think there would be much that she could tell me that I didn't already know, but I’m always looking to improve so I agreed to a meet and greet.

I'm glad I did because Michelle was right about what she found and the advice she gave us helped us avoid a huge issue that I wouldn't have seen coming. 

From that point on I've had Michelle review all of our builder's contracts before we sign them, and I always will. I've even had Michelle phone builders to help negotiate contracts for me and we haven't missed out on a single job because we read the fine print and ask for changes." 

Jon Agostinelli - Fast-Tracked Constructions

“I found Michelle through LinkedIn because her posts were often talking about issues I was running into with builders. 

Michelle only needed to work 1:1 with us for a few weeks, sorted out a couple of problem jobs and helped us on board the right CA. Now our business is growing on steady foundations and we have the confidence to take on more work without being worried about being short paid.”

Jake Kirch - Brizmasonry

“We never usually have issues with builders but recently a job looked like it was going to go south due to a discrepancy in the head contract.
I wasn’t keen on conflict but I knew we couldn’t let it get out of hand.
Michelle helped me raise the issue properly under the contract in a gentleman’s way and when the time came she helped me get my spiel in order for a meeting with the builder.
It was great having help from someone who understands technical aspects of plans and construction and can talk the lingo with builders but also keeps you on track with the contract too.
It’s not something I would have done on my own but it was highly effective.”
