Install Proper Foundations for Sustainable Growth
When we grew our engineering & built environment consultancy from $3M to $30M, we thought the only way to grow was to hire seniors and load them up.
More seniors meant more capacity.
And more capacity meant more growth.
We thought we had the structure right.
But we were wrong.
The business became top-heavy.
Profit margins were constantly under pressure.
Senior staff were stretched thin trying to do everything.
And as founders, we were still deeply involved in delivery, training, and problem-solving.
The business wasn’t profitable, scalable, or sustainable.
The real issue?
We were trying to grow without the right foundations in place.
The truth is, most consultancies struggle because they don’t have the right team structure.
— Too many expensive roles at the top
— Not enough juniors coming through
— No clear development pathway
— And founders still carrying the load as the business grows
Strong, profitable consultancies are built on proper foundations.
Graduates coming into the business consistently.
Trained early in your standards, systems, and culture.
Developed over time into capable mid-level and senior team members.
All while protecting margins and freeing up founder time.
And that’s exactly what I’ll show you how to build next week.
I’m running a 90-minute online workshop called:
“The Graduate Growth System”
— Tuesday 10 February
— 11:45am – 1:15pm NSW time
— Just $100 to join
— Limited to 10 spots

In this workshop, I’ll walk you through:
— How to bring graduates into your business deliberately and consistently
— How to train grads properly so they take load off you as the business grows
— How to build a clear pathway from graduate → mid-level → senior
— How to grow your team without crushing margins or burning out the founder
This isn’t theory.
It’s the same approach that’s helped Boardroom clients:
— Bill stabilise delivery by bringing junior engineers in underneath seniors
— Nathan add junior and project support, freeing himself from day-to-day delivery
— Daniel build stronger team foundations by hiring and developing juniors first
You’ll leave with a clear Graduate Growth System, practical templates you can implement immediately, and lifetime access to the replay.
No more top-heavy teams killing margin.
No more carrying everything yourself.
No more growing on shaky foundations.
Let’s install the right foundations for your consultancy — and build a business that grows profitably and sustainably.
