Build a shared project baseline across your teams in 33 hours without pulling staff off-site or losing project margins.
Fragmented leadership training doesn’t stick. When your teams operate with a shared project management vocabulary, they ramp up faster, communicate more consistently, and make fewer avoidable mistakes. Partner with 150CLD to build internal capability that actually protects your project margins.
Request a Custom Cohort ProposalConstruction Projects Shouldn’t Be a Game of “Spot the Mistake”.
You send your staff on generic project management courses, they leave with a workbook, and then… nothing changes on site.
The industry standard training is vague, theoretical, and too far removed from the realities of construction.
When teams lack a unified language, assumptions fill the gaps. Misalignment causes false starts, and that leads to the kind of rework that quietly drains your time and margin.
Can You Afford Another Project Dictated by Assumptions?
The Global Infrastructure Initiative (GIRI) estimates that the true cost of error in our industry is a staggering 21% of project value.
That waste doesn’t come from a lack of technical skill; it comes from miscommunication and teams who don’t share the same delivery language.
Every month your emerging leaders operate without a unified framework is a month where rework eats into your commercial margins.
Hi, I’m Colin Tomlinson, Founder of 150CLD.
When you train your teams with us, they don’t just pass an exam.
They learn our proprietary Site Clarity model—a repeatable way to think clearly, act confidently, and bring other people with them.
We integrate this directly into your PFQ training through five core questions designed to build situational awareness across Safety, Quality, Environment, Reputation, Time, and Cost.
Identify Risk Early and Manage Sub-Contractors Effectively.
“By using the course models, I looked at the wider influences on the project, I identified three ‘Early Warning Notices’ that identify risk and will help manage them. I have identified an opportunity to hand over aftercare to another organisation reducing our own risk.”
— Leanne Tipple, Environmental Manager
