The Zamora System: A Growth Roadmap for Small Contractors

Structure turns chaos into clarity, and clarity turns effort into growth.

Running a small construction business isn’t about working harder—it’s about building smarter.
If you’ve ever said:

  • “I feel buried in emails.”

  • “I can’t keep up with GC requests.”

  • “I’m doing everything myself.”
    Then this system was designed for you.

Zamora Capital Projects built six service packages that guide subcontractors from disorganization to discipline, one step at a time.

1. Administrative Coordination & Communication

The problem: Constant inbox chaos and missed opportunities.
The fix:

  • We centralize your communication so nothing gets lost.

  • We track bids, due dates, and follow-ups for you.

  • You gain peace of mind and professional presentation.

Perfect for:
Small contractors or solo operators who need immediate structure and relief from the daily noise.

2. Project Coordination & Communication

The problem: Updates and RFIs slip through the cracks.
The fix:

  • Organized project tracking from day one.

  • Clear logs for RFIs, submittals, and schedule changes.

  • A single source of truth for GC communication.

Perfect for:
Teams juggling more than one project or GC who need help staying responsive without constant firefighting.

3. Compliance & Documentation

The problem: Delayed payments from missing paperwork.
The fix:

  • Insurance, safety, and warranty tracking done for you.

  • Close-out packages ready before they’re requested.

  • No more scrambling—your reputation stays spotless.

Perfect for:
Subcontractors ready to work with larger GCs or public clients where documentation defines credibility.

4. Operations & Performance Systems

The problem: You know you’re busy, but not if you’re profitable.
The fix:

  • Real-time dashboards show where time and money go.

  • Streamlined workflows that cut waste.

  • Financial visibility that gives control instead of chaos.

Perfect for:
Contractors who want to grow from “running jobs” to “running a business.”

5. Vendor & Supply Chain Support

The problem: Late deliveries and rising costs.
The fix:

  • Structured purchasing and PO tracking.

  • Reliable vendor communication and accountability.

  • Material flow that supports—not stalls—your schedule.

Perfect for:
Material-heavy trades (drywall, paint, flooring, etc.) that depend on predictable deliveries and pricing.

6. Business Growth & Mentorship

The problem: You’re working hard but not moving forward.
The fix:

  • One-on-one guidance to shift from reaction to leadership.

  • Profitability audits and growth plans with clear milestones.

  • A blueprint for sustainable scaling.

Perfect for:
Owners who are ready to delegate, plan, and lead a company instead of running on survival mode.

The Progression Path

Think of the six packages as a ladder:

  1. Start with structure – Administrative Coordination brings order to your daily chaos.

  2. Strengthen communication – Project Coordination keeps jobs moving and clients happy.

  3. Protect your pay – Compliance ensures every document is complete and credible.

  4. Gain visibility – Operations Systems reveal the truth about time, profit, and performance.

  5. Build control – Vendor Support stabilizes your supply chain.

  6. Scale with purpose – Business Growth Mentorship turns effort into a lasting enterprise.

The Mindset Shift

Small contractors don’t fail because of skill—they fail because of structure.
Each package replaces uncertainty with confidence and turns every lesson into leverage for the next project.

You already have the experience.
Now you need the systems to match.
