WHAT WE DO
We help Aussie Subbies manage their builders' contracts, and get paid on time.

TEMPLATES AND CHECKLISTS
Over the last 15 years reviewing, drafting and administering subcontracts, I have developed and refined a collection of templates, checklists and spreadsheets to keep you on top of your game.
These resources are in downloadable format - ready for you to use within seconds of purchase.

THE SUBBIES' TOOLBOX
The Subbies' Toolbox is an end to end contract management and security of payment system with ongoing support.
We bring the Subbies' Toolbox to you in a monthly subscription format, with ongoing support and monthly workshops.
Delivered by our Director, Michelle Cirson, stress less knowing you have a security of payment and contracting expert in your executive team.

NEGOTIATION SCHOOL
Negotiation School is my signature online course, exclusively for construction subcontractors.
The course is delivered over four weeks, in a combination of live workshops and online daily micro lessons.
This course is perfect for Subcontractors who struggle to stand up to their builders, or seasoned negotiators with a team that need commercial street smarts and a dose of confidence.
HERE TO PICK MY BRAIN?
When it comes to debt recovery, the longer you wait to chase your money, the less likely you are to be paid in full, or at all. If you want the science behind this fact, check out my blog on the topic.
If your gut is telling you your builder's job is going south, chances are it is, and your payments could be caught up in the collateral.
Early advice will pay you dividends when it comes to construction contracts.

Before we work together, there’s something you should know.
You won’t catch me billing in six minute increments, asking you for money up front in trust or dribbling case law at you from the head of my boardroom table.
Truth is, I'm more at home in a crib hut. Take a moment to watch my video, because there’s something I need you to know.
