If your business is in the $1M–$10M revenue range, you're caught up in the day-to-day, and it feels like everything relies on YOU...

If by the halfway point you don’t believe this workshop is worth many times your investment, just let us know — and you’ll receive a full refund. Most contractors recover the cost immediately by fixing a single payment schedule, change order, or job-costing mistake — often worth thousands on their very next job.
Either way, you win.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have clear systems for cash flow, job costing, change orders, equipment tracking, and estimating accuracy — all designed to work in the real world of contracting.


“Susan helped us uncover estimating blind spots that were quietly killing our margins.
We boosted job profitability by at least 25% once we fixed the math and tightened how jobs actually perform.”
— John D., Electrician
A clear operating model for how money actually moves through your jobs — so profit shows up as cash, not surprises
Payment structures that match real job flow, keeping you ahead of labor, materials, and subs
A clean, enforceable change order system that protects margins without friction or pushback
A simple, weekly job-costing rhythm that gives you early warning when jobs start to drift
An easy way to see whether jobs are performing as estimated — without waiting until month-end or after the job is over
A tighter estimate → job → feedback loop that improves accuracy over time

“Susan’s estimating system helped us boost job profitability by at least 25%.We didn’t realize how much we were missing — until we fixed the math.”
— John D., General Contractor
Most Importantly:
You're not being held accountable to what actually matters—the metrics that move the needle.
My background in accounting and business administration allows me to see where construction businesses actually make — and lose — money, beyond surface-level estimating or reports.



A clear, simple model that shows why profit doesn’t equal cash — and how money actually moves through your business so you can finally fix cash-flow problems at the source.

The 4 phases of job flow, when costs truly hit, and how to structure payment terms that keep you ahead of expenses instead of financing jobs out of your own pocket.

A simple, repeatable 3-step process to handle change orders correctly, price them quickly, communicate changes without conflict, and stop doing free work.

A simple job-costing system built on a weekly rhythm using the four numbers that matter — so issues surface early and estimating gets tighter over time.

Susan has helped hundreds of contractors increase profits and take control of their estimating. Her unique background in both field operations and financial systems means you’ll get real-world strategies that actually work.

Live, Hands-On Format With Real Questions and Real Answers
This isn’t a webinar. It’s an live working session where real contractor questions get real answers — using real job scenarios.
Built by a No-Nonsense Contractor Who’s Been in the Field
Susan’s been where you are. That’s why this training is practical, easy to follow, and actually makes sense.
Live workshop for contractors to improve estimating, cash flow, and profitability with practical tools.
This workshop is for experienced contractors, remodelers, specialty trade owners, and estimators who already estimate — and want more control over cash flow, job performance, and estimating accuracy as volume grows.
This isn’t a course.
It’s a live, hands-on working session where we fix the structural estimating and cash-flow issues that quietly create stress — even in profitable businesses.
One contractor said, “I’ve been estimating for 20 years, and I still walked away with stuff I didn’t know.”
Yes. These principles apply across the board — from general contractors to specialty trades.
The numbers are different, but the math is the same.
We’ve had remodelers, GCs, custom home builders, electricians, painters, landscapers, and others walk away saying: “This opened my eyes to things I thought I had nailed down.”
Most attendees already do. What they discover isn’t that their system is “wrong” — it’s that it doesn’t account for timing, job flow, equipment, or feedback loops clearly enough. This workshop fills the gaps most systems don’t catch.
Immediately. Everything covered is designed to be applied on your next job — from payment structure to change orders to weekly job-cost reviews. Most contractors say the workshop pays for itself instantly.
This is a live, virtual half-day intensive led by Susan Giddings.
Class size is intentionally limited so you can ask questions, apply concepts in real time, and leave with clarity — not just notes.
This is a working session, not a passive webinar.
