Working with HELM
We've helped hundreds of construction, design-build, and architecture firms like yours with every facet of their business, supporting them on their way to a more fulfilling work life and new levels of success. Our approach? Combine a deep bench of expertise with total commitment to supporting your goals.
You can expect higher quality projects, greater economic security, more satisfying relationships with clients and team members, a renewed sense of purpose and engagement — the list goes on. Here's how it works:
We set you up for success with Launch
Our partnership begins with a head-to-toe review of your company: goals, strengths, challenges, opportunities. Then we'll collaboratively create a vision for moving forward.
Chart your course with your Workplan
Your custom-tailored Workplan is a month-by-month map for reaching your goals — providing structure and accountability, and outlining your unique menu of HELM services.
And stay aboard with you for the Journey
Support is critical to success. Your dedicated HELM team will be with you every step of the way, helping you overcome obstacles and attain your goals — then reach for new ones.
Organize your finances? Grow your management team? Recruit more effectively, get marketing support, improve your work/life balance? Yup, with HELM consulting, all of that and much more is possible. Our seasoned team offers expert knowledge in every aspect of the construction business &mdash from estimating and accounting to recruiting, marketing and strategy — but just as important is our focus on meeting you where you are (stresses and all), crafting a program that's realistic for you, and supporting you every step of the way.

HELM Coaching is an invaluable tool for both leaders and teams. Leaders grow their business with more confidence and clarity, and strengthen relationships with employees and clients, and have more attention to think big. Coaching can also be a game-changer for teams — reducing stress, boosting work satisfaction and job performance, and helping team members take on new responsibilities with confidence.

New Frameworks
With HELM coaching, we've seen an across-the-board ‘level up’ in what our team brings to their work.
In addition to consulting and coaching, we also offer complete embedded Project Management Services. Your dedicated HELM Project Manager will work remotely to support you behind the scenes with estimating, contracts, scheduling, budget accountability, change order management, team coordination, punch list resolution, and much more. They'll increase your capacity and keep your projects on schedule and on budget. We can also train your team simultaneously to build your in-house expertise.
For nonprofit and mission-driven organizations, a new building or renovation project can be a critical investment. For your organization's leadership, it can also strain time and resources. That's where HELM's Owners Project Management comes in. Our experienced team will oversee every detail of your project – freeing you to focus on the important decisions, raise the funds you need, and have confidence the results will fulfill your vision and provide long-term value to your organization and community.
