Succession Planning

Set the stage for the next generation of leadership.

Developing a thorough succession plan will increase your business’s value and set the stage for the next generation of leadership. We guide succession planning conversations and help you navigate the toughest of transitions - trusting others with the business you put your heart and soul into.

Performance & Operational Effectiveness

Get on the path to higher profitability.

Want to improve your reputation for performance and drive more profits? Uncover why you’re consistently realizing profit fade on projects, having schedule overruns, seeing ongoing quality issues, or experiencing high rates of litigation on projects. Equalizer9 takes a deep dive into your operational practices to identify the root causes of your performance and operational issues — and then we work with you to implement high impact, corrective actions.

Virtual Logistics & Phasing Planning

We bring virtual construction planning services that make your boring 2D hand drawn, or bluebeam drawn, logistics plans come to life in high definition, virtual reality. We can re-create your plans into 3D and 4D still images, or even more complex videos.

These services can be highly impactful in communicating your logistics and phasing plans in a presentation setting where you need to dazzle your client or communicate a complex process in an easily understood format. It is especially effective when communicating these plans to decision makers that are not construction savvy.

These services can also be effective in communicating logistics and phasing plans to your trade contractors, and other site adjacent stakeholders such as pedestrians, occupied users, and neighboring businesses or residences.

If you need to look highly professional and sophisticated, let Equalizer9 get to work for you.

Presentation Readiness

Have a big presentation coming up? Really need to put this project in the win column? But putting forth a compelling presentation is not exactly your strength as a company? Equalizer9 has you covered. We have won over $4 Billion in construction presentations.

In lock step with your team, we will deep dive into your project. We will help you uncover the client’s pain points, pet peeves, and purpose. We will develop the messaging that solves the client’s problems. We will produce a “brain-friendly” deliverable with creative powerpoints, boards, videos, and 3D/4D logistics plans. And, we will coach your team on how to effectively deliver a benefit laden presentation on “Go Day”.

Our win rate is high. Let’s talk.

Peer Group Facilitation

Peer groups offer industry leaders the opportunity to learn best practices and avoid costly mistakes by comparing similar challenges and common initiatives. Equalizer9 forms peer groups among similar companies along revenue size, sector types, delivery methods, and corporate structure. We try to match these similar companies, being careful that no competition exists between them.

The benefits to these peer company participants will include:

• Exploring Innovation and new spins on old ideas

• Discussing “Get Work” strategies that are working

• Gaining perspective on industry financial norms and metrics

• Enhancing Profitability models

• Brain storming recruitment and retention of staff best practices

• Sharing fee enhancement strategies

• Discussing industry trends

• Best practices across multiple issues

So, low investment but high impact.

1) How to lower the anxiety through unique preparation and coaching techniques,

2) How to effectively communicate in a "benefit-rich" fashion to clients,
