Half-day or full-day training sessions for contractor groups, industry associations, and cohorts of non-competing firms — primarily across the Pacific Northwest.
Sometimes the cheapest way to level up a region's construction tech is to put 15–25 people in a room for a day.
Workshops are pitched at trade associations, regional contractor groups, BizCouncils, and cohorts of non-competing firms — typically organized by an industry association or by a sponsor. Most of my workshop work is across the Pacific Northwest, though I've traveled for the right group.
What you get
Custom curriculum
Built from the association or sponsor's actual problem, not a generic deck. I talk to organizers in advance to make sure the content is what the room needs.
Live demos
Real platforms, real workflows. Buildertrend in front of you, Bluebeam in front of you. Not slideware.
Take-home templates
Every workshop produces templates, dashboards, or workflow documents the attendees can deploy in their own shops. Slides alone are useless.
Q&A and office hours
Time blocked for specific attendee situations — not just the curriculum. Often the most valuable part of the day.
Workshop formats
Half-day workshop (~3.5 hours)15–30 attendees. One topic, in-depth. Live demos. Hands-on exercises if devices are available.
Full-day workshop (~7 hours)12–25 attendees. Two topics, or one topic deep enough that everyone leaves with templates and dashboards configured.
Multi-session cohort (4 × 90 min)8–15 attendees from non-competing firms. Same group meets monthly, makes progress on their own stacks between sessions.
Private internal trainingRun for a single company mid-rollout when leadership wants everyone aligned in one day.

You want a single-person walkthrough — that's Implementation & Training
You want a generic vendor-led webinar — call the vendor; this is independent and platform-agnostic
BookingMost workshops book 4–8 weeks ahead. Custom curriculum requires a 60-minute prep call with the organizer. Travel coordinated separately.
What it costsContact for pricing. Workshops are typically sponsored by the association or split across the cohort. Half-day, full-day, and multi-session cohort rates available.
FAQ
Can you travel?
Yes. Most of my workshops are in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Seattle, Eugene, Salem, Tacoma, Olympia, Bend), but I've traveled for the right group. Travel coordinated separately from the workshop fee.
Do attendees get anything to take home?
Yes — every workshop produces templates, dashboards, or workflow documents the attendees can deploy in their own shops. Slides alone are useless.
Can the workshop be private to my company?
Absolutely. Many companies hire me for an internal full-day training when they're mid-rollout and want everyone aligned. Same rate structure as a sponsored public workshop.
Do you certify attendees?
I don't issue certifications myself, but if your AGC chapter or association does, I can structure the workshop to map to their CE requirements.
