An operator-built SOP library
Dispatch protocols, flat-rate pricing frameworks, tech scorecards, maintenance agreement programmes, and ServiceTitan setup guides — written for and used inside running trades companies, not adapted from templates.
About IronMargin
Built by operators who've run the business you're running.
IronMargin isn't a coaching brand or a conference. It's the operating system a team of home-services operators uses to find margin, tighten operations, and build enterprise value in a trades business.
IronMargin is built and run by a team of home-services operators. Between them they have run multi-trade HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies with 100+ employees and $20M+ P&Ls, and worked through private-equity ownership, acquisitions, and the diligence that comes with an exit. Backgrounds in the field and in heavy construction, not a classroom.
The coaching options available to trades operators fall into three categories: too expensive (PE-level consulting firms that don't work with sub-$50M companies), too generic (membership networks built on conference content and benchmarks), or taught by people who have never actually run a dispatch board.
IronMargin exists because none of those options are good enough for the owner who knows their numbers, has heard the vocabulary, and needs the specific operating playbook — not the theory.
IronMargin is deliberately not built on a personality. It is built on a system. The SOPs, the P&L frameworks, the rebate network, and the coaching content are the product — drawn from operators who are still accountable to the same P&L problems every IronMargin member is solving.
What we actually give you
Coaching from current operators
Monthly working sessions led by operators who have run $20M+ multi-trade P&Ls — the problems are worked live, in real dispatch environments, not in case studies.
A rebate network that pays for itself
Aggregated purchasing across supply, fleet, uniforms, insurance, and financial services. At a conservative 3% blended rate, a contractor spending $200,000/year captures roughly $6,000 — more than the annual Core membership.
PE language, in field terms
EBITDA add-backs, quality-of-earnings reviews, org-chart design to reduce key-man risk — the gap between knowing the vocabulary and knowing what to do with it.
