Stop firefighting. Start building.
Management consultancy, Health & Safety and NVQ Level 6/7 training for construction companies that have outgrown running on instinct.
You built
the company.
Now it has to
run properly.
The work behind stable construction companies
You already know how to win work. The real question is whether the company behind it — people, sites, safety, processes, cash — can carry the next stage.
This is consultancy for construction companies that want structure, not slogans. We audit how you really run, train the people who run it, and tune the business until it holds.
When growth
starts to hurt
More projects, more people, more paperwork. The directors still solve every site problem themselves.
Managers were promoted for their skill on the tools, and never trained to lead a site, a budget or a team.
It's not about working harder. It's about a company that works without you in every decision.
The
method
Every engagement starts with an audit.
- 01
Audit
How your company actually runs: people, sites, safety, processes and project control.
- 02
Training need
The gaps the audit shows, turned into a training plan — person by person, up to NVQ Level 7.
- 03
Optimise
Roles, processes and service activity tuned, so the business runs better after we leave.
In order to
lead a site
you need more
than experience.
You need the
qualification
to prove it.

The mind behind the method
I'm Alex Calugaru, and I work with construction companies
that are growing faster than their systems.

My approach
[3–4 lines from Alex: why he started Cognumen, how he works with directors and managers.]
The Cognumen test
- Are you ready to stop being the bottleneck?
- Do you want advice without a sales pitch?
- Do your managers need NVQ Level 6 or 7?
- Would your H&S survive an audit tomorrow?
- Is the company ready for the next stage?
If “yes” — this was built for you.
