About W3M

Built by someone who ran one of these businesses.

W3M Consulting exists because I built this system for my own company first, saw what it did, and realized every trades founder I know needs the same thing. This isn't a software product. It's a system built by someone who has lived the problem.

The story

I didn't start as a consultant. I started as a GM.

For years I ran a stone fabrication and installation business serving the Metro Vancouver multifamily and commercial construction market. I know what it feels like to manage estimators, chase quotes, and answer to a founding partner who wants to know — right now — what the pipeline looks like.

I also know what it feels like to not have a good answer. To know the business is doing well but not be able to prove it. To watch quotes go out the door and disappear because there was no system to follow up. To understand, clearly, that the business would be worth significantly more if it could run without any one person holding it together.

So I built the system. I built it inside our existing Microsoft 365 — no new software, no platform fees, no workflow change. I used Excel, Power Automate, SharePoint, and Power BI. I tested it, documented it, and watched it change how we operated. Every quote generated in minutes. Every quote logged automatically. A dashboard that answered in thirty seconds the questions that used to take a week to dig out.

Then I realized: every trades founder I know has the same problem. And none of the software companies trying to sell them something have actually run their kind of business. That's the gap W3M fills.

W3M Holdings is the company I built to hold what matters. W3M Consulting is the client-facing practice that helps other founders build something worth holding. The name is a reminder of why the work matters — and it's the most honest differentiator I can offer. You're not hiring a faceless SaaS vendor. You're hiring someone who put their family's name on it.

How we work

Three things that don't change, client to client

Your system, your data, your tenant

Everything is built inside your Microsoft 365 environment. Not our cloud. Not a third-party platform. You own the system outright — and it keeps running whether you call us again or not. That's not an accident. It's the point.

Fixed scope, fixed price

We scope the build before any work begins. You know what you're getting, what it costs, and when it will be done — before you commit. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprises at invoice time.

Documented to the last detail

Every system is handed over with a full maintenance guide, SOPs, rebuild documentation, and a training session. Your team can run it. Your GM can understand it. Your buyer can read it. The system doesn't depend on us being involved.
