Solving Tech for small builders is a first-of-its-kind three-month training programme funded by the CITB Impact Fund. The bid was put together by Construction Coach, a business coach who specialises in working with SME and micro-businesses in the industry to help them grow and be more profitable. It’s being delivered by Limes Consulting, a consultancy that specialises in supporting businesses with digital transformation.

“Having worked with over 300 businesses in the last 10 years, most builders I work with want to be able to get more information out of their heads, be able to take a step back, have better work/life balance, have more professional systems and processes in place and be more profitable, said Maria Coulter, founder, Construction Coach. “Many business owners lack the headspace to research and test solutions, making guidance and support essential, unfortunately, whilst there is an industry drive to embrace digital, there is very little practical support to help businesses do it”.

Solving Tech for Small Builders is a structured, hands-on learning experience running from April to June 2025, combining face-to-face sessions in London with weekly online training. The programme will help participants get clear on their challenges and business needs, define their goals, consider what specific technology can support them in the categories of, get work, do work, get paid; embed solutions and ensure long-term success.

Solving Tech for Small Builders offers a unique opportunity for small construction businesses to embrace new technology with confidence. Participants will create a tailored roadmap, ensuring that their chosen solutions align with their specific business needs. By joining the programme, participants will become part of a supportive community of like-minded small builders, fostering collaboration and shared learning.
