The Summit Is Coming to Denver

The Contractor Coalition Summit started as a bold idea: what if the most successful general contractors, custom home builders, and construction leaders in the country stopped keeping their best strategies to themselves and just… shared them? No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just four days of real conversations, hard-won systems, and the kind of transparency that actually moves businesses forward.

What began as a small gathering has grown into one of the most talked-about events in the residential construction industry. Past attendees have called it mind-blowing, marriage-saving, and business-changing and sometimes all three. And if you’ve been on the fence about whether an event like this is worth your time, keep reading.

Morgan Molitor of construction2style, Mark Laliberte, Brad Leavitt of AFT Construction and Nick Schiffer of NS Builders are about to present at Contractor Coalition Summit

The Contractor Coalition Summit is heading to Denver, Colorado, and this one might just be our best yet. We’re taking over The Ramble Hotel: one of the city’s most distinctive boutique properties and bringing together an incredible lineup of hosts, speakers, and industry partners for four days of sessions, connection, and conversation that you simply can’t get anywhere else.

Whether you’re a solo operator trying to build better systems, a company owner looking to scale with intention, or a project manager ready to lead with more confidence, this summit was designed with you in mind. Every session is built around real experience, real documents, and real strategies that you can take home and implement the Monday you’re back in the office.

This isn’t a conference where you sit in rows and watch a slide deck. This is a room full of people who care deeply about this industry, who aren’t afraid to ask hard questions, and who leave with a plan.

Contractor Coalition Summit: Meet the Hosts 

Brad Leavitt, AFT Construction (Scottsdale, AZ)

Brad runs one of the most well-organized luxury custom home building operations in the country. At this summit he’ll pull back the curtain on how AFT actually runs — from how they price projects and structure contracts, to how they’ve built and organized a team of 20+ people. His sessions will touch on cost-plus prime contract structures, what a healthy org chart looks like at scale, and how to position your company so clients understand and trust your process from day one. If you’ve ever wondered how top-tier builders protect their margins and their sanity, Brad’s sessions are where you want to be.

Nick Schiffer, NS Builders (Boston, MA)

Nick is a master of systems — the kind that make a company run smoothly whether or not the owner is in the room. At this summit, Nick will walk through how he builds and retains his team, including the onboarding and employee handbook frameworks that set expectations from day one. He’ll also cover how NS Builders logs daily time on job sites, how they run their initial client calls to truly understand a homeowner’s vision, and the pre-construction agreement and home care documentation that keep projects and relationships on track. Nick’s approach is methodical, replicable, and battle-tested on high-end residential builds. 

Morgan Molitor, construction2style & Neon Lion (Minneapolis, MN)

Morgan leads one of the most recognized design-build brands in the country and has built a content and digital marketing engine that most contractors don’t even know is possible. At this summit she’ll cover how she and her full team at construction2style and Neon Lion use AI — not as a novelty, but as a daily business tool. From building custom prompts to drafting client communications, job site reports, proposals, and a month of social content in a fraction of the time, Morgan will show exactly how contractors are using AI today. She’ll also dig into SEO strategy, Pinterest as a lead generation tool, and how brand partnerships can become a meaningful revenue stream for construction businesses.

Tyler Grace, TRG Home Concepts

Tyler is the owner-operator of TRG Home Concepts, a boutique residential remodeling company out of the Philadelphia area specializing in detail-oriented renovations of older homes. Tyler believes that staying small and maintaining intense control over his projects is what allows him to deliver an uncompromising product and experience. At the summit, Tyler will bring a grounded, real-world perspective on what it looks like to run a lean, craft-focused operation with intention — and why that model can be just as profitable and sustainable as scaling up.  

Mark Williams, Mark D. Williams Custom Homes (Minneapolis, MN)

Mark is the newest addition to the Contractor Coalition Summit host crew, and if you’ve spent any time in the Minnesota construction world or stumbled across The Curious Builder Podcast, you already know why we’re so excited to have him in the room.

A third-generation builder with over 20 years of experience crafting high-end custom homes in the Twin Cities metro, Mark brings a depth of perspective that only comes from growing up in this craft and choosing it again and again. He’s not just building houses, he’s building relationships with the families who will live in them and the talented tradespeople who bring them to life. That genuine love for the human side of construction is something that comes through in everything he does.

Mark comes to this summit as a longtime friend and industry partner of Morgan’s, and his voice adds something special to this lineup, a builder who is deeply rooted in community, committed to the craft, and genuinely curious about what makes great builders great. 

Why You Should Be in the Room

This event has grown into one of the most sought-after gatherings in the residential construction space — and that’s not just because of the hosts. The Contractor Coalition Summit has become a major draw for industry sponsors and partners who want direct access to serious builders.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect face-to-face with key figures and brands including Adaptive, Neon Lion Media, Rockwool, Andersen Windows, Little Creek + Co, Emser Tile, and more. These aren’t booth visits — these are real conversations over meals, in breakout sessions, and during the kind of unscripted downtime that only a four-day immersive summit creates. Past attendees consistently say the relationships built here are worth the ticket price alone.
