Clear advice for contractors who carry real site risk
We help owner-operators and site leaders make grounded decisions on margins, crew capacity, subcontractor relationships, and compliance — without adding another layer of corporate bureaucracy to your week.
Advisory areas for builders and trade businesses
We work with owner-operators, site supervisors, and directors who need structured guidance on margins, crew capacity, subcontractor relationships, and compliance without adding another layer of corporate bureaucracy.
Project Cost Review
Point-in-time review of a specific project estimate or live job, identifying margin risk, missing allowances, and subcontractor quote gaps before you commit.
Workforce & Crew Planning Advisory
Advisory on crew roster design, multi-site deployment, apprentice ratios, and seasonal capacity for trade businesses adding headcount.
Why contractors call us before the next tender lands
Most of our clients run between three and twelve active jobs at once. They know their trade. What they need is someone who has sat across the table from insurers, council planners, and subcontractor crews — and can translate that experience into decisions they can act on this week.
We do not sell software subscriptions or generic playbooks. Every engagement starts with your current job list, your crew roster, and the contracts already signed.
About Redwood HubWe brought them in when our civil subcontractor walked off a drainage package. Within two weeks we had a replacement crew scoped, a revised programme, and a conversation with the client that kept the relationship intact. The hourly rate felt steep at first — but losing that client would have cost far more.
