Chris Davis, Fractional CEO/COO

The problem is you're struggling to grow past a certain level because you’re stuck in the weeds holding everything together. If you walk away for more than a few days, it all falls apart.

Fractional Chief Operating Officer services for construction, real estate, trades, and home services companies doing more than $5M in revenue who need executive level operations leadership without the $300K+ salary.

If you're leaving margin on the table, dealing with chaos, or trying to scale without systems - scroll down . This page was written for you.

Chris Davis, Fractional COO

"That quiet frustration you feel… the one that shows up on Sunday nights and doesn't leave until Friday… that's not a motivation problem. That's a structural problem. And it has a structural solution."

— Chris Davis, MBA - Fractional COO - 2026

SOUND LIKE YOU?

You need someone to create systems, order, consistency, and efficiency

If you walked out the door today and didn't come back for two weeks, be honest with yourself… what would happen?

You already know the answer. And that answer is costing you more than money.

You're working 60, 70, sometimes 80 hours a week… and the business still feels stuck. Not because you're not working hard enough. You've been working hard for years.

The problem is that you are the linchpin of your business. If you're removed, even for a moment everything starts to fall off course.

Every decision loops back to you

Every fire needs your personal attention

Every hire added more to your plate, not less

You can see where you should be, you just can't get there

You built this to give you a life. Right now it's doing the exact opposite.

If You Check 3 or More of these - We Need To Talk

  You're the "de facto" COO, CFO, and HR director, and you're exhausted.

  Projects finish late or over budget because nobody owns the process end-to-end.

  You've hired project managers and executives, but you're still the one getting 10 PM calls. 

  Margins are shrinking even as revenue grows and you don't know exactly why or how to fix it. 

    You have the work but not the team or right leadership structure to execute profitably in fast growth and at scale.

  Your best people are bottlenecked by unclear roles and no real accountability system or operational rhythm.

  You've tried consultants before and got a deck & recommendations but no implementation or execution leadership. It fell on you. 

 You know the ceiling is operational and not the market or competition. The demand and projects are there. Leadership and execution isn't. 

I Don't Consult.
I Operate & Execute.

I know what you're dealing with because I've been inside enough companies to see the same pattern play out over and over again.

You've hit the point that every serious founder, owner, and PE investor hits eventually… Where the thing you built has gotten bigger than the way you've been running it. You can feel it.

I've served as CEO, COO, and Integrator for construction, real estate, home service and other industry companies from start-up to over $300M+ in project, portfolio and P&L value with complete ownership.

I've successfully stabilized companies, integrated divisions, increased margin & EBITDA, and built enterprise systems that scale leveraging technology, processes, and inserting L5 leadership with accountability. 

The companies I work with don't need more advice. They need someone who's held the P&L, made the hard call, and slept with the results. That's what I bring.

Here's what I know for Certain: The answer isn't another hire underneath you.

What you actually need is an operator beside you. Most consultants/integrators give you a framework, motivational speeches, and a slide deck. I embed into your company, own the operational layer, run the day-to-day, and accountability chart. I don't leave until the system runs without me...and you! Then we hire the "right" COO to for your company and long term operational leadership. 

That's a completely different solution.

And most business owners don't even know it exists until they've already wasted years trying everything else.

From the Desk of Chris Davis - Fractional COO Integrator & Operator

Let Me Tell You A Little About Who You'd Be Trusting​

I've been inside enough companies to know exactly what you're dealing with. You've hit the point that every serious owner hits eventually, where the thing you built has gotten bigger than the way you've been running it, and you know it.

​I think of it like being buried under an avalanche. You've got one hand sticking up out of the snow and you're waving for rescue. You know you need help. You're just not sure who to trust with something this important.

I've spent 30 years actually running companies, not advising them from the sidelines.

  • I led a real estate company as CEO & COO that made the Inc. 500 for the fastest growing private companies in the United States for two years in a row, which almost never happens
  • As CEO, I was a finalist for Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur of the Year for fast, profitable growth
  • As CEO & COO/Integrator, I've successfully implemented strategies and growth operating systems inside 12 different companies over 30+ years across real estate, construction, trades, home services, and technology
  • Before any of that, I served in the military & specialized government service, and that's where I learned that discipline, accountability, and getting things done aren't optional when people are counting on you in special operations situations. 

I'm not a consultant who shows up with a slide deck and a list of recommendations. I'm not a "certified integrator" who runs your quarterly meetings and considers that a job well done.
​
​When I come into your company, I come in as your COO/integrator/operator. I sit beside you and I run the day-to-day and execute strategies. I don't run one system. I run the right combination of proven frameworks, filtered through 30 years of doing this for real. This includes:

Jim Collins' Good to Great®

Identify the right people for the right seats and build the flywheel that creates compounding momentum

EOS Principles®

Install the operating rhythm, accountability structure, and meeting cadence that keeps the team aligned and executing (L10,Rocks,IDS,VTO®)

Vern Harnish's Scaling Up®

Build the infrastructure that lets a company grow into new markets and multiple locations without breaking​

Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership®

Create a culture where leaders own their results, stop making excuses, and fix what's broken instead of explaining it

I take what works from experience and a combination of each and apply it to what your specific company needs right now. I'm not running a cookie-cutter operating system. I'm helping you build a real operating structure tailored to your business, your team, and where you're trying to go.

When I walk in, it's Execution time.​

Excuse time is over, passing the buck is over, and everyone working in their own little world is over. We work as a team, we execute, and we build something that runs whether you're in the building or not.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Why I Only Work With
Five Clients At A Time

Other 'integrators' or consultants hand you a framework, meet with you once a month (if that) and charge you $150K–$200K!

​I'm a Fractional COO Integrator & operator. I work IN YOUR BUSINESS daily to install the systems and strategies that give you your life back and get your business on the right track for growth and profitability at scale.  

I combine proven operating frameworks with 30+ years of real-world experience in the trenches actually running companies, building teams, and driving revenue while increasing margins & EBITDA organically and with M&A "roll-up" strategies.

​​That's not a marketing line. That's just the reality of how I operate.

When I come into your company, I'm all in. I'm in the weeds with your team, I'm running your leadership meetings, I'm building your systems, executing strategies, and I'm accountable for results. That takes real time and real focus, and I'm not willing to spread that thin across a dozen clients just to grow a bigger roster.

“Bringing on Chris Davis was the smartest decision our vertically integrated construction, development, real estate, and investment company made early in our growth. His operational expertise, systems thinking, and ability to eliminate chaos created immediate improvements in efficiency, profitability, and sustainable growth. Chris didn’t just streamline our operations, he gave our firm accountability, clarity, and confidence in operational execution. If you’re looking for a fractional COO who delivers real results, Chris is the one.” Luis L. Ph.D. - CFO/Owner Real Estate  

Chris' amazing attention to detail, his experience and expertise in all aspects of the construction process & operations, from preconstruction, construction and close out is THE best in industry. I personally know of many situations where he saved clients $100’s thousand dollars from his Value Engineering and Construction Process Expertise! His Honesty and Integrity always lead his decisions and he has never let us down!" - Michael K, CEO/Founder - General Contractor
​

"Our general contracting company was a fragmented, vertically integrated operation with no systems, no accountability, and no operating cadence. Chris Davis walked in and immediately changed that, installing SOPs, KPIs, and an operating rhythm that gave us visibility we'd never had, while rebuilding the executive team and delivering a $75MM project to CO in 60 days on target with the amazing team.

Chris doesn't need a runway. He assesses fast, builds structures that hold, and moves the business forward. He's the operator you call when it has to get done right." - Robert S. - Interim CEO → COO 2025/2026 - Commercial General Contracting

"Chris has repeatedly delivered results in complex, high-stake situations. He turned around a major project facing significant cost overruns by tightening financial controls and renegotiating vendor contracts. He resolved critical permitting and entitlement delays by restructuring sequencing and leveraging key stakeholder relationships. He also stabilized a distressed project impacted by contractor disputes and supply chain breakdowns, restoring timelines and protecting investor returns" - Benjamin S, EMBA - Start-Up Executive

PROOF OF WORK

What It Looks Like When I'm In Your Corner

30+ years of enterprise leadership driving scale, profitability, and operational excellence across real estate, construction, and multi-entity platforms.​

01

Rapid Scale — Inc. 500 #16

1,000%+ Revenue Growth in Under Two Years

P&L Ownership · PE Reporting · Integration · Multi-Market Expansion

"Built PE-grade financial reporting, governance, and operating systems fast enough to keep pace with the growth and hit INC 500 #16."

Stage 2 startup growing - what it didn't have was the infrastructure and leadership to sustain and scale it. Christopher stepped in as CEO/COO and built PE-grade financial reporting, governance, and operating systems fast enough to keep pace with explosive demand. In under two years, the team scaled from 13 to 72, revenue grew over 1,000%, and EBITDA grew 100%+ annually while multi-market expansion was running in parallel. Company landed at INC 500 #16, a recognition that reflected not just the revenue, but the quality of the organization built behind it.

"100% on-time, on-budget delivery at the same time we were more than doubling revenue. That's what operational discipline actually looks like."

Learn More ➔

General Contractor was growing, but growth without operational discipline produces cost overruns, missed deadlines, and margin erosion. As EVP of Operations, Christopher built the infrastructure that allowed the company to scale without those consequences. Revenue grew from $30M to $80M, operational capacity improved by 60%, and cost overruns were cut by $1.5M, all while maintaining 100% on-time, on-budget delivery across the entire portfolio. The discipline wasn't about slowing growth down. It was about building systems that made growth predictable and scalable.

Board-Mandated Stabilization Completed in 60 Days

Turnaround · Executive Recruiting · Board Reporting · Exit Readiness​

"Brought in to do the impossible — resolve legacy compliance issues, deliver a $75M project, build an executive team, and execute a clean exit. Done."

A family office brought Christopher in as board-appointed CEO with one mandate: stabilize a contractor in chaos, deliver a mission-critical $75M healthcare facility, and execute a clean strategic plan that led to the board decision to exit the business and focus on other “core” competencies. Within 60 days, operations were stabilized, the project was delivered on time, a new COO, CEO, and division leaders were recruited and onboarded, legacy compliance issues were resolved, and the board-directed wind-down was executed cleanly across HR, legal, PR, and regulatory agencies. The business was left stabilized, documented, and exit-ready; exactly as commissioned.

EOS Integration

100% Business Unit Growth in Under 8 Months

EOS Integrator · KPI Systems · Dashboard Design · Multi-Unit Alignment

"Integrated disconnected business units under a single operating rhythm — KPI dashboards, leadership cadence, and accountability framework that actually stuck."

Learn More ➔

Companies operated across multiple home services markets, but the business units weren't functioning as one company; leadership needed unified visibility, reporting was inconsistent, and accountability lived in pockets rather than as a culture. Christopher came in as COO and EOS Integrator, implemented a company-wide accountability framework, built integrated KPI dashboards across every market, and standardized financial reporting and leadership communication from top to bottom. Every business unit grew 100% in under eight months. The growth didn't come from a new strategy, it came from finally being able to see and run the whole business with operations focus.

Enterprise Build-Out

Designed the Operating Infrastructure for a Fully Vertically Integrated National Development Platform — Across 8 Divisions

"Eight divisions. One operating structure. When capital is moving fast across that many verticals, the infrastructure either keeps up or becomes the bottleneck — we made sure it kept up."

Late-stage startup - operating across eight fully vertically integrated divisions — Brokerage, Development, AEC, Finance, Manufacturing, Construction, Property Management, and Investor Relations — with a 1,100+ person workforce strategy/plan and a vendor ecosystem spanning 13 national professional services firms. Christopher was engaged as CEO and Integrator to design the enterprise operating architecture that would hold all of it together: workforce plans, a full accountability matrix, governance and compliance standards across every entity, vendor selection and oversight at national scale, and cross-entity reporting that gave leadership unified visibility across every division.

Is WORKING WITH CHRIS THE RIGHT MOVE FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

This Is For You If...

  • You own or run a business and you're ready to stop being the bottleneck
  • You can see the next level but you're too buried in the day-to-day to get there
  • You're willing to step back, trust the process, and let someone run the operation
  • You want a real operator beside you, not another consultant handing you homework
  • You're ready to build a business that runs without you in the middle of everything
  • You're a good leader who just needs the right person in the right seat beside you

This Is Not For You If...

  • You want someone to tell you solutions but you have no intention of changing anything
  • You're not willing to let go of control or trust someone else to run your team
  • You lead with ego and need to be the smartest person in every room
  • You're looking for a quick fix or a magic system that does the work for you
  • You're not serious about growth and just want someone to manage the chaos
  • You're under $5M or not yet ready to invest in real operational leadership

You've Just Described Yourself. Now There's One Question Left.​

Are you going to do something about it?

You've spent years building something real. You've tried the obvious solutions. You already know the answer to what happens if you walk away. And you just read six bullet points that described your life with uncomfortable accuracy.

The owners who stay stuck aren't the ones who couldn't find the solution. They're the ones who recognized it and waited too long to act.​

I have five spots. Not as a marketing tactic, but because that's genuinely how this works. When one opens up, the right person either takes it or someone else does.

If you've read this far, you're not someone who stumbled onto this page by accident. Book the call. We'll talk about where your business is, where you want it to go, and whether working together makes sense. No pitch. No pressure. If I don't think I can move the needle for you, I'll tell you that and point you somewhere that can.

Either way you'll leave the call with more clarity than you came in with. That's a promise.

COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ'S

Q: Is this consulting or do you actually do the work?
A: Both but weighted heavily toward doing. The first month is diagnostic. After that, I'm embedded in your ops; running meetings, building systems, managing the implementation. I don't hand off a plan document and wish you luck. 

Q: We already have a project manager/ops manager. Why would we need a fractional COO & Integrator? 
A: A project manager executes processes, tasks and schedules, A COO designs the systems and processes those run inside with clarified SOPs and KPIs with defined authorities. If you have PMs but still feel like you're the ops hub, the problem isn't people, it's the architecture above them. 

Q: What does "fractional" mean? Are you splitting your time with other clients?
A: Yes - I typically work with 5 clients simultaneously. But you're buying a defined set of hours and outcomes per week that we agree on, not a fraction of my attention. Every clients gets a dedicated meeting rhythm, deliverables, and accountability. Note: If you are seeing this website, this means I have a current opening. I take down this website when I am fully booked. I DO NOT over commit myself or my support team!

Q: We hired consultants before.  What's different her?
A: Most consultants deliver insights, PowerPoint presentations, and generic "Action Guides". I come in as an operator and deliver execution & implementation. The measure of success isn't a report, it's whether your ops are running differently 90 days from now. I stay in the engagement until the results are real.

Q: What industries do you work with? 
A: Primarily commercial and residential construction, real estate (Brokerage, Development, Investment, Management),  and vertically integrated/self perform companies (GC + trades). I also work with home services and commercial services companies doing $5M+. (Roofing, Plumbing, Electrical, Remodeling, Restoration, Landscaping) and have worked with law firms, manufactures and distribution companies.  

Q: How long before we see results? 
A: Most clients notice meaningful clarity in the first 30 days because the audit alone surfaces things they've been too busy to see. Structural results (margin improvement, project delivery, team accountability) are typically visible within 60–90 days. A full 100 Day Operations Integration Plan is developed in the first week. 

Q: What if it's not working? 
​
A: Engagements are month-to-month after the initial 6-month commitment. You can also cancel after the first 30 days of the engagement and get a full refund. If you're not getting value, we'll have that conversation directly. I don't hide behind a contract or "lock" anyone in. It is about you and getting you the results you need!  

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN MY FRACTIONAL COO

Accounting, bookkeeping, or CFO functions, those are separate.

Legal, bonding, or insurance advisory requiring a license. 

M&A Valuations & Financial DD. Operations Due Diligence & Integration ARE Included. These typically require increased commitments. Available upon request.
