EC Business Consulting

Built from the field.
Straight talk for EC owners.

Whether you're adding a new division, fixing what's broken in your current operation, or trying to build a business that runs without you on every job — we've done it and we can help you do it too.

Small EC companies ready to grow — or fix what's holding them back.

Adding a new division
Ready to launch arc flash testing, infrared inspection, or low voltage services? We've built these divisions from scratch and can walk you through equipment, certifications, pricing, marketing, and client acquisition.
Fixing current operations
Jobs running over budget, techs not following systems, estimating is inconsistent — if your business has gotten past your ability to manage it by memory, it's time to build real systems.
Building for the long term
Want to build a company that works without you on every job? We help EC owners build the processes, hiring frameworks, and pricing structures that make growth sustainable.

What we cover.

Every engagement starts with a discovery call. We figure out exactly what you need, scope the work, and give you a flat quote. No surprises.

Discovery call
30-minute call. We figure out exactly what you're working on and whether we're the right fit.

4
Deliverables
You leave with real, usable assets — not a deck of recommendations. Systems, templates, and frameworks you can use immediately.

This isn't theory. It came from the field.

We didn't learn electrical contracting from a business school. We learned it by running crews, losing money on bad estimates, hiring wrong, and fixing it — one system at a time.

The arc flash and infrared programs we consult on are programs we built and operate. The business systems we help EC owners implement are systems we use ourselves. When we say something works, it's because we've done it.

Fluff. No theory. No guesswork.
"The best advice comes from someone who has done the work — not just read about it."
30+ years in electrical contracting. Built and scaled a company to $20M in a new market. Launched arc flash, infrared inspection, and low voltage divisions from scratch. Trained estimators who went on to build careers in commercial electrical. Every EC company I've worked with has the same problems — they just show up in different order. I've had all of them. And I've fixed all of them. That's what I help other EC owners do.
