Chuck Miller Consulting LLC engages in the business of construction consulting, including Business Planning, and Coaching, Construction Project Management, and Expert Witness and Arbitration Services. Our clients are small volume builders, remodelers, and construction trade contractors; owner-builders undertaking residential or light commercial building and remodeling projects; and government licensing boards, arbitrators, mediators, and attorneys specializing in construction related issues. Chuck has over 50 years of experience in the construction industry. He understands the special needs of small volume builders and remodelers and works with them to create custom solutions . The construction industry operates on following a specific set of plans and specifications to arrive at a desired finished product. But a survey of builder and remodeler members of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) revealed that fewer than 12 percent had a written business plan, fewer than 15 percent had written operating budgets, less than 18 percent had written mission statements, and almost 70 percent of respondents had no formal planning procedures. Maybe that’s the reason small businesses in the construction industry have the second highest 5 year failure rate of all industries. Chuck Miller Consulting was formed to help small businesses in the construction industry survive and thrive beyond 5 years and to increase the five year survival rate for small businesses in the construction industry. Chuck works one-on-one with builders, remodelers and construction related companies to develop a working business plan focused on market research and analysis, product development and pricing strategy, sales and marketing strategy, operations planning, and financial forecasting and budgeting to achieve and maintain the key financial and operating ratios. Chuck also offers ongoing consulting and coaching to his clients.
