If I Was Building a Consultancy From Scratch, Here's Exactly What I'd Do | EP 183

Most engineering and built environment consultancy owners are guessing what to do next - and it's costing them years of growth.

In this episode I break down exactly how I'd build an engineering, town planning, surveying or architecture consultancy if I was starting again from scratch - the three stages from $0 to $2M, $2M to $5M, and $5M to $10M+.

I spent 10 years as a director and shareholder of a $3M engineering consultancy that we grew to a $30M engineering, town planning, surveying and architecture consultancy - so this episode is the exact playbook, not theory.

I also share the story of Armin, Haydn, John and James, four directors I've been working with for the last three years, who've taken their consultancy from around $3.5M to their first ever $1M month - and they're well on their way to $12M.

Inside this episode we cover:

- Why your first hire probably shouldn't be technical
- Why picking a niche on day one beats staying a generalist
- The exact structure that gets you from $2M to $5M without more hustle
- Why leadership and a board matter more than headcount past $5M
- How Armin, Haydn, John and James went from $3.5M to $12M in three years

If you're building an engineering or built environment consultancy and you don't have a clear path to your next revenue level, this episode will give you one.
