The Blueprint.

$1,497one-time, everything included

The complete system for getting a trade business sale-ready. Built on the Punch List's 154 items. Run like a job.

What it is

A punch list never closed a job. A foreman does — somebody who knows what's next, orders the work, gets the right sub on the right day, keeps the whole job on schedule, and marks it closed before the crew moves on. The Blueprint is the foreman for this job. Same 154 items — but run: first the long-lead items, the ones that take years to get right, found and started now instead of discovered too late. From there, the next play is always ready — finish one, the next is up. One a week or six on a Saturday; the pace is yours.

The sheet for each pro you lean on, ready before you ask. The board that shows what's closed and what's still open. A job this long gets set down — busy season, a big job, life. The foreman is how you pick it up where you left it instead of starting over.

You could run this job yourself off the list — it just means time spent figuring out the how instead of following the plan. The Blueprint is the plan, already drawn — for the owner who wants the job run.

What's in it

  • Seven modules that teach the how, with audio for the truck
  • A bound workbook in your mailbox, where the work gets written down
  • The next play always queued up and ready to run
  • Scope sheets for the professionals you rely on, so they know exactly what needs done
  • A folder that builds the file a buyer's team asks for, as you go
  • A board that shows what's closed, what's open, and what's still seasoning

Everything, day one. Updates included for good — as the Blueprint grows, yours grows with it.

Two ways to run the same job

You can run it yourself off the Punch List — $47, the complete list, everything you close is closed for good. Or you can put the foreman on it, and the figuring is already done — what's first, what counts, what goes to which desk — so your hours go to the work instead of the figuring.

The job doesn't change: the same 154 items, every box closed. What changes is who runs it. Start where it makes sense: same IDs, step up whenever, nothing wasted. The only math that matters is what an hour of your time is worth.

You know your business. We know what buyers look for. Between the two, nothing falls through the cracks.

Before you buy

How much time does it take? It's designed around a working owner's week. The work comes in manageable chunks — about two hours each — and you run one or several at a sitting, whatever the week gives you. Nothing needs a free weekend. Some items only time can produce — which is the reason to start now, not the reason to wait.

Do I need the Punch List first? No — the Blueprint carries the whole list inside it. If you already own the Punch List, everything you've marked carries straight over; the same 154 items, the same IDs.

Can my team work it with me? That's the design. The scope sheets exist to be handed over — your bookkeeper, your insurance agent, your attorney each get theirs, so the items that sit on their desks get closed by the people who close them best.

What if I'm not sure I'll ever sell? Prepped to sell is prepped to keep. The same work that makes a buyer comfortable makes the business easier to own: books that tell you the truth, a day that runs without your cell ringing, a crew that stays because the shop runs right. You end up with the company you'd rather be running — and the option to sell it on your clock, instead of hoping the question never comes up.
