Executive Summary

The pitch

{{ exec_summary_1 | default: "Ironline Builders is a self-perform commercial general contractor serving Central Ohio — tenant build-outs, restaurant and retail fit-outs, and small ground-up shells in the $150K–$2.5M range. We win on bonded capacity, hard schedules, and crews we control instead of subbing out the whole job." }}

{{ exec_summary_2 | default: "The model is deliberately disciplined. We self-perform concrete, framing, and carpentry — the trades that make or break a schedule — and tightly manage a vetted subcontractor bench for the rest. That keeps roughly a third of every contract in-house, protects margin, and lets us commit to dates the do-everything brokers can't." }}

The opportunity

{{ opportunity_body | default: "Central Ohio is in a build cycle — Intel's New Albany campus, a surge of warehouse and medical-office work, and a steady churn of retail and restaurant fit-outs. Mid-size commercial GCs are backed up 4–6 months. A disciplined, bonded contractor with open capacity can win work on availability alone." }}

Why us

{{ why_us_body | default: "Dominic Vance ran field operations as a superintendent on $80M of commercial work; Rachel Okafor managed project budgets and owner relationships at a regional GC for nine years. We bring the crews, the sub relationships, and three letters of intent worth $3.1M before incorporation." }}

The ask

{{ ask_headline | default: "$250,000 to fund mobilization and working capital." }}

{{ ask_body | default: "A revolving line of credit covering equipment, the bonding-collateral deposit, and the receivables gap on our first three projects. Combined with $150,000 of owner equity, it funds a fully insured, fully bonded GC ready to mobilize on day one." }}

Services & Capabilities

What we build

{{ concept_intro | default: "A focused commercial scope: the project types where a disciplined mid-size GC with self-perform crews has a real edge on schedule and price. We do not chase heavy civil or high-rise — we own the build-out and small ground-up lane." }}

Project types & typical economics

{{ concept_box1_body | default: "We self-perform concrete, framing, and finish carpentry — roughly 30–35% of contract value in-house. A vetted bench of 40+ licensed subs covers MEP, roofing, and specialty trades under lump-sum agreements with retainage held to spec." }}

{{ concept_box2_body | default: "Negotiated GMP and competitive hard-bid both supported. Standard markup is fee of 4–6% plus general conditions at 8–10%; self-perform labor billed at a blended $78/hr loaded rate, protecting margin the open-shop brokers give away." }}

Market Analysis

The demand

{{ market_lead | default: "Central Ohio is one of the fastest-growing commercial construction markets in the Midwest — anchored by a generational semiconductor investment and a deep bench of mid-market owners who need a bonded GC with open capacity." }}

{% for m in market_metrics %}

{% endfor %}

{{ t.lead }} — {{ t.body }}

{{ market_box2_body1 | default: "Intel's $28B New Albany campus has pulled the region's larger GCs onto mega-project work, thinning the field for $150K–$2.5M jobs. Owners report bid backlogs of 4–6 months and subcontractors stretched thin." }}

{{ market_box2_body2 | default: "A bonded GC entering with open capacity, self-perform crews, and credible references competes on the one thing owners can't buy at any price right now: a contractor who can start." }}

Competitive Landscape

The edge

{{ competition_intro | default: "The mid-market is contested by two kinds of firm: large GCs distracted by mega-projects, and broker-style contractors who sub out 100% of the work and can't hold a schedule. Our wedge sits between them — bonded capacity with crews we actually control." }}

Operations & Go-to-Market

The machine

{{ ops_intro | default: "Ironline runs lean field-heavy operations: a core self-perform crew, a managed subcontractor bench, and a project pipeline fed by the founders' relationships. Overhead stays low so capacity goes to the work, not the office." }}

{% for s in route %}

{% endfor %}

Crew, subs & equipment

{{ t.lead }} — {{ t.body }}

Bonding, insurance & BD engine

{{ cac_body | default: "A $2M single / $4M aggregate surety line plus $2M general liability and full workers' comp — the credentials to bid institutional and public work. Business development is relationship-led: the founders' developer and architect network drives the pipeline at near-zero cost." }}

Overhead

{{ staffing_body | default: "Two owner-operators, one PM, and a part-time controller. G&A held under 7% of revenue; the field carries the company." }}

{{ company_legal | default: "Ironline Builders LLC" }}Confidential — Page 6

Financial Plan

The numbers

{{ fin_lead | default: "Conservative first-year assumptions — eight to ten contracts averaging $510K, a blended 14.5% gross margin, and G&A held under 7%. Every figure below holds even if we miss the backlog plan by 15%." }}

{{ startup_label | default: "Startup & working capital — use of funds" }}

ItemAmount

{% for r in startup_costs %}

{% endfor %}

Total{{ startup_total | default: "$400,000" }}

{{ funding_note | default: "Funded by $150,000 owner equity + $250,000 revolving line." }}

Line{{ unit_col | default: "Per job" }}

{% for r in unit_economics %}

{{ r.line }}{% if r.sub %} {{ r.sub }}{% endif %}{{ r.amount }}

{% endfor %}

{{ unit_note | default: "~8% net margin per project; nine contracts cover all fixed cost and reach break-even by the eighth month." }}

Three-year revenue projection

{% for b in projection %}

{% endfor %}

{{ projection_note | default: "Year-2 growth comes from a higher bid-hit rate and larger ground-up shells; Year 3 adds a second self-perform crew and a raised bonding line, funded from operating cash — not new debt." }}

The Ask

Let's build

{{ close_lead | default: "Ironline Builders is a disciplined, credentialed GC entering a market that is short on exactly what we offer: bonded capacity and crews that hold a schedule. The capital below is the only thing between a finished plan and steel in the ground." }}

Milestones to break-even

{% for s in milestones %}

{% endfor %}

Bottom line

{{ bottom_headline | default: "Bonded, billing, and cash-flow positive inside year one." }}

{{ bottom_body | default: "The plan reaches break-even in month eight, services the line from contribution rather than principal, and self-funds the second crew by Year 3. The $250,000 isn't a bet on demand that might show up — it's working capital for a backlog already lining up." }}
