The Problem

Most growing trade businesses do not hit a ceiling because they cannot find more work.

They hit a ceiling because the team and people systems cannot keep up with the growth.

The owner becomes the operating system. Every important hire, decision, problem, client issue, and team challenge eventually finds its way back to them.

And every time someone leaves, it costs far more than the search to replace them. Between lost productivity, missed opportunities, and the added strain on the managers left to cover the gap, losing an employee typically costs 1.5 to 2 times their salary.

BILD Co. People Operating System™ is designed to change that.

What Is The People Operating System?

Think of it as the operating system for your people.

Instead of hiring when you are desperate, training differently depending on who is leading the crew, promoting your best tradesperson and hoping they figure out leadership, or relying on the owner to keep everyone accountable, the People Operating System creates a repeatable way to recruit, select, train, and retain.

01

Recruit

Build a stronger pipeline of the right candidates.

02

Select

Identify the skills, behaviours, character and potential required to succeed before you hire.

03

Train

Build leaders who solve problems before they reach the owner.

04

Retain

Create the kind of team and culture your best people want to stay and grow with.

The goal is not more HR. We get it and think like an owner. The goal is a stronger business.

What Changes When The Right People Systems Are In Place
Reactive hiring
A repeatable talent system
Employees who constantly need direction
Leaders who take ownership
Inconsistent standards
A team that knows how you do things here
Owner dependence
Greater business freedom
The result is a self-managing team, stronger retention and a business that can grow beyond the owner's capacity.
Who Is It For

The BILD Co. People Operating System™ is built specifically for growing trade and service businesses where the people side of the company has become one of the biggest constraints to growth. It may be time to install a People Operating System if:

  • You are turning down work because you do not have the people to deliver it.
  • You are constantly recruiting, interviewing or replacing employees.
  • Your best tradespeople have become supervisors, but have never been taught how to lead.
  • Employees are unclear about expectations, standards or what it takes to move up.
  • Different crews or managers operate differently.
  • Too many routine decisions and problems still come back to you.
  • You cannot confidently step away without worrying about what will happen.

You have built the business. Now you need to build the team that can carry it forward.

How Do You Get The People Operating System

It starts with a People Operating System Audit. We look at where the people side of the company is creating the biggest constraint, what is already working, what is missing, and what needs to be installed to support the next stage of growth.

The Audit Is Pressure Free

Worst case: you leave with a clear plan for what needs to be built.

Best case: you work with us to install your own People Operating System.

From there, we determine whether the BILD Co. People Operating System™ is the right fit and what implementation looks like for your company. Every business has a different budget and a different capability to build in-house, so we offer three ways in:

Done For You

We build and install the system for you. For owners who want it handled and want it fast.

Done With You

We build it alongside your team. For owners who want guidance without giving up the wheel.

Do It Yourself

We hand you the framework and tools. For owners with the capability and want to install it themselves.

Whatever your budget or capability, there is a path built for you.

Your business should not need you to be the operating system.

Build the people, leaders and systems that allow the business to grow without you carrying everything yourself.

A pressure free look at what is holding your team back and what needs to be built next.

Build the person. Build the business. Build the empire. Build a life by design.
