Attention: Construction Company Owners
Are you a dedicated building contractor who’s put in countless long hours of blood, sweat, and tears to build a successful business – but is struggling to figure out how to properly prepare your company for a potential sale? You are not alone!
Would you like to discover a documented “step-by-step” roadmap that details how to prepare both you and your company for a potential sale… and build REAL transferable value in your business?
If you said yes to either of these questions, I have great news for you!
My upcoming two-day LIVE in-person workshop will give you the guidance and tools to plan and begin charting your personalized business transition plan!
Hear what 2023 attendees had to say about the event.
Reality Check
Here are some disheartening Statistics from the Exit Planning Institute:
FACT - 250,000 companies in the US will ATTEMPT to exit or sell by 2030. Of that…
Only 50,000 will be “deemed” market-ready…(wait, it gets worse). Of those…
Only 30,000 will actually sell: Of those…
16,000 will sell with concessions at a discounted price… and
Only 14,000 will sell at the desired price. That means…
Only 6% of businesses will sell for their desired asking price!
Only 6% of businesses will sell for their desired asking price!
OVER 200,000 businesses will never sell because they are not saleable! They will simply close their doors leaving that company value to just go away!!!
Sadly, MOST construction business owners do not know “how” to make their companies saleable, (Not a surprise, because until now there has been VERY LITTLE construction industry-specific guidance and training available).
Lack of proper planning is the #1 reason MOST contractors will end their life’s work, with little (or NOTHING) to show for it.
Is that what you envisioned for your contracting business?
After everything you have done over the years…all the hard work you’ve put into building goodwill and a trusted reputation…
The solid trade contractor and supplier relationships you have cultivated and nurtured…
Your loyal past customer list…your ties to the community…
Along with dedicated and skilled employees…
So, you may be wondering…What is the Solution?
Keep reading for details on how to successfully avoid that disaster so it doesn’t happen to you!
To address this issue, I am introducing a live 2-day workshop:
Crafting Your Future:
A Business Transition and Succession Workshop
Building Your Business with a Profitable End in Mind
In attending this training, I guarantee to show you the roadmap on how to get your company sold at a time of your choosing, no matter where you are now.
That is not an empty promise!
You’ll take home a crystal-clear transition strategy (specific to YOUR business) and a detailed step-by-step action plan to reach your goals –
You’ll gain clarity and confidence – No longer be unsure or confused about outlining your potential business transition plan.
I will lay out a detailed step-by-step road map to a business transition timetable (at a time of your choosing) that you can implement on your schedule with a plan that best works for you…
I will review every step in this process so you can customize your plan to your personal goals - which means you’ll understand every step in the process because you built it!
The depth of understanding you’re going to take away from this exclusive event is not available anywhere else...
Here is a good question to consider:
What if you don’t intend to sell your business outright, but rather want to work less hours and transition into more of a consultant/management role?
If you’re a contractor who doesn’t want to permanently exit your business (and most don’t!) because you are still very good at (and love) what you do…
You’ll be taken step-by-step through a proven process to delegate specific company functions in an organized fashion so you can put the right people in the right seats… and
We’ll be reviewing company “value-drivers” that help build future value within your business, so you can increase your company profitability!
Just like a building plan - together, we will help you lay out your own individual roadmap – you will know where you are going and exactly how to get there!
The end goal of all this is that at some future time when you do leave your business, your transition plan will be ready to execute.
Don’t make the fatal error and leave this make-or-break business development task up to chance!
Having your plan firmly in place will allow you to sleep better at night, knowing you have the highest possible odds of success stacked in your favor.
Remember, the statistics I shared above show that 80% of contractors will fail to sell their business at all – 80%!
Of the remaining 20%, only 6% of contractors will sell for the desired asking price without concessions.
*** The 6% who ultimately succeed (in a big way) and turn their dream into reality put the necessary time and effort into properly planning their transition strategy.
Unfortunately, most contractors won’t, and that’s because there hasn’t been much usable content or detailed information on this vitally important subject for our industry! This is the missing piece of effective business planning!
That’s why I’m hosting this unique event and giving you all of the necessary resources and guidance to put your own plan together.
Instead of becoming part of the heartbroken 80% of contractors who will just close their doors leaving years of client, trade contractor, and supplier goodwill to just disappear into thin air, you’ll be able to stack the deck in your favor and give yourself the very best chance at success, so claim your spot now!
This workshop has limited seating.
Registration for this powerful 2-day event is $1,997.00 per person.
Spouse or business partner can attend for an additional $497. Please contact David at david@remodelforce.com to add a business partner or spouse.
To help your budget, you can also pay in installments. Please contact David regarding a payment plan!

The primary focus of this workshop is to work on YOUR personal transition plan.
With so much uncertainty still surrounding our industry, the economy, raising interest rates, fluctuating housing prices, supply chain issues, and who knows what else, your exit strategy is NOT something you should be leaving to chance.
In fact, it’s something smart contractors are making a main priority and primary focus, in 2024.
While you are likely very good at working in your business, I want to help you expand your critical understanding of planning and executing the creation of a 3-to-5-year transition roadmap.
A detailed plan that will protect your business investment, your employees, and the future goodwill of great clients who want to continue working with you.
We’ll help you think through the hard decisions – including getting the right employees in the right seats in your company.
My panel of industry experts will review employee assessment evaluations and explain the ins and outs of using these tools to not only maximize the talents of existing employees but how to use them to find and hire experienced new employees to fill the necessary positions as you begin to exit the specific functions you are now doing.
Simply put, you’ll gain an unobstructed view of how to successfully identify those who will be taking over and managing those functions, giving you greater peace of mind.
“David's workshop gave me a clear idea of the steps I'll take and the results I'll get if I take those actions.”

Let us take care of you.
We are all set to take great care of you before, during, and after your workshop in Denver. Our commitment to you includes help planning your travels, top-notch training, excellent food, relaxing and stress-free accommodations, networking with other building contractors, and continued involvement after the event.
This exclusive 2-day live in-person event is designed to help you take strategic ownership of your exit strategy and quickly lead to a higher valuation of your business.
To ensure we accomplish our task, in addition to myself, I have invited a panel of highly respected business experts to join us for the workshop:
Building Industry Author, Speaker & Coach
Contractor Transition Strategies / Remodel Force
Who am I? My name is David Lupberger, and I have been in the construction industry for over 30 years. With more than three decades of experience in the industry, first as a design/build remodeling contractor and then as a business consultant/coach, I have been assisting contractors with implementing proven business systems and processes. Through numerous trade shows and association meetings, I have spoken to thousands of building contractors with a personal passion and commitment to improve their profitability and work/life balance.
Introducing the Four Experts in Their Area Joining Us in Denver.
The time will come when we all eventually must exit – it is inevitable! You will leave this session with a well-planned employee-management strategy before and after you exit!
Justin Landry
Founder & Lead Consultant
JL Freelance HR
Justin is an employee-assessment expert who will review and help you understand how to ensure you have the "right people in the right seats" regarding your business transition. He will also show you how to identify and define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that align with your desired business objectives. These KPIs are the basis of effective staff evaluations!
Getting SBA financing to help sell your business is a reality. With the expert assistance of James Stolt, we will detail the actual process of getting a company sold and financed by the SBA! This insider knowledge alone is worth the price of admission!
Why Do I Need to Know About SBA Financing? Because 75% of construction business sales go to children or key employees (who only have a little money), you'll gain a detailed step-by-step understanding of how to sell your company with the benefit of SBA financing.
James Stolt
First Vice President, SBA Lending
44 Business Capital
You will also have access to James Stolt, an expert at SBA loan funding. I will review using "phantom stock" to access SBA loan financing so that you can reward children or dedicated employees with company ownership as you "cash out!"
We'll also be joined by business broker and advisor Carolyn Ryan, MBA, who will reveal everything you need to know about selling your company outright to a third party.
Carolyn Ryan, MBA
Founding Partner, Business Broker & Advisor
Main Ascent Business Brokers & Advisors
Carolyn is a business broker and advisor with over 30 years of experience as a business owner and a global business development specialist. She will review all aspects of selling your business outright or through a broker.
In addition, you will hear from Rob Brown, an expert in business transition using the Employee-Owned Cooperative model. Contractors know nothing about this option - it is a good one for many! In an employee-owned cooperative, workers participate in the profits, oversight, and often management of the company. Workers can gain equity in the business and receive company voting shares.
Rob Brown
Director of Business Ownership Solutions
Cooperative Development Institute
Rob will review the benefits of an Employee-Owned Cooperative where employees participate in the profits, oversight, and often management of the company. This legacy tool grants company equity to deserving employees. Rob has assisted several construction companies in creating employee-owned cooperatives.
Altogether, you will hear detailed presentations from experts in their fields, covering the 4 potential avenues available when you inevitably depart your business
An outright sale to a 3rd party (Carolyn Ryan - Business Broker)
An in-house sale to a child or key employee (James Stolt - SBA Funding)
The creation of an Employee-Owned Cooperative (Rob Brown - Employee Owned Coop)
Or, simply closing your doors, leaving years of experience and good-will to go away
When you fail to plan – you plan to fail…

This April 24 to 26 is the perfect time to Unplug From Your Business & Get Recharged At this In-Person Event –
There's something special about leaving home and attending a two-day event that helps you recharge and refocus.
Especially when it comes to something as important as succession planning.
You will be there with a small but highly successful group of your peers.
Folks who speak your language and understand where you’re going and what you’re trying to achieve.
Attendee interaction will be a big part of the program.
This is about putting a small group of dedicated building contractors with shared values and goals in a room together…
…and working together to help each attendee create something with REAL WORLD value.
This is something you most definitely want to be part of, and seating is strictly limited to 30 attendees (and their spouse or team member)
The value delivered here is not just in the meeting room, during the training sessions...
It’s going to happen during the session breaks and during the intimate conversations during meals together.
It’s going to be an unforgettable one-of-a-kind, networking event. A moment in time where you can look back and say, “That was well-worthwhile. That was one of the most important investments of time and money I’ve ever made!” That is my promise!
There is something special about a group of like-minded people all moving in the same direction…
That’s where the “magic” happens…
It’s where all of your questions will be answered… and
It’s where understanding and clarity is gained and where commitments are made…
Any uncertainty you now feel will give way to a new level of internal power and confidence…
Certainty comes from being around like-minded professionals who get you and want to help you reach your full potential. Rest assured you are in good hands.
Support and Guidance Doesn’t End After the Event...
Professional Coaching / Access To DAVID - 'Hey coach, I have a question' – 'Hey coach, I need help…'
Since I only work with building contractors, my entire focus is on this very specific industry niche.
After working for over two decades in this industry, both in the field selling projects and running my own company, I know the ins and outs of the construction industry very well!
I know the ups-and-downs of what you deal with on a daily basis!
…And I bring the experience and expertise of working together with 100's of professional contractors over the last 30 years, to every interaction.
What drove me to create this unique event:
I’m now in my sixties and am involved in my own transition planning process…
For me, personally, not working is not on the table, because I still have way too many things I want to accomplish... (maybe you feel the same way?)
My life’s work is now focused on helping clients to get the most from the businesses they’ve spent years sacrificing to build.
We are going to create that roadmap together…You can ask all of your questions and get expert feedback from me, the members of our guest panel, and dozens of your peers!
“David is one of a kind, driven by strong core values that are an example to his clients. He guided me over the years, to build a winning team and culture that produces fulfillment and success.”
Craig Huseby
Plan to join us and 29 other successful contractors on April 25th and 26th, 2024! Come ready to accomplish something important that has REAL WORLD value to your life, your family, and your financial future.
What’s the Price of Admission?
The nice thing about this Live workshop is that I’m able to price it so much lower than the $12,000 fee I have charged to take private clients through this process!
Since this is a small group workshop, I wanted to set the price of admission low enough for anyone serious about attending to easily afford it.
So, after much consideration and many conversations with past clients and respected colleagues, it was decided to sell tickets for just $1,997, which is a very fair price compared to the value of the asset attendees will be walking away with. (Read about the RISK-FREE money-back guarantee below).
It’s first come, first served, so if you feel this sounds like a good fit, go ahead and secure your spot now by clicking the "Reserve Your Seat Now" button below.
Then we will schedule a follow-up call, where I can answer all of your questions and confirm that this is a perfect fit for you… (In the event we discover this isn’t a perfect fit, we’ll part friends, and I’ll refund your registration fee immediately).
We’re keeping things purposefully small, so each attendee gets all the personal attention they may need.
…And here’s the best part.
“Better than RISK FREE” Money Back Guarantee!
How? In the event you attend the 2-day conference and don’t feel like we’ve delivered above and beyond the price of admission by the end of the first day, simply pull me aside before we wrap up the final session on Day 1 and let me know.
Not only will I refund 100% of your ticket price, I will also reimburse $250 extra to help offset some of your travel expenses! What do you have to lose?
What could be fairer than that? That’s how confident I am that we can deliver our stated results and objectives.
Registration for this powerful 2-day event is $1,997.00 per person.
Spouse or business partner can attend for an additional $497. Please contact David at david@remodelforce.com to add a business partner or spouse.
To help your budget, you can also pay in installments. Please contact David regarding a payment plan!
