Run the shop. Don't let it run you.
Harkhamer builds the operating system for custom-project trades — so jobs stop slipping, you finally know what each one makes, and the business grows into something you own instead of something that owns you.
Fabrication · install · custom builds — if your work runs estimate → build → install, this is for you.
You're great at the work. The business is held together with your phone and your gut.
Jobs slip through the cracks. Parts get missed and the crew drives back. Customers go quiet because nobody updated them. And at the end of the year you still don't actually know which jobs made money and which ones quietly bled.
You're the estimator, the dispatcher, the CFO, and the guy on the tools. Something's always on fire — and it's always you putting it out.
A COO, a CFO, and a CMO — built into systems, for a fraction of one hire.
A tight shop + clear numbers
Every job on rails, nothing slips, customers kept in the loop — and for the first time, you see exactly what each job costs and makes.
Automate the tedious work
Estimating, ordering, tracking materials, answering every call and lead — the repetitive load comes off your crew, one piece at a time.
Grow, on a foundation that holds
Once it's tight and the numbers are clear, we turn on marketing and lead-gen — steady, predictable work, on a shop that can actually handle it.
You start on step one at a price your shop can carry. It steps up only as the value does.
A Shade Beyond — Prescott, AZ.
A custom awning & shade fabrication shop doing real work since 1998. Great business — a website that hid it, and an operation run on paper and memory.
We rebuilt their site to show the craft — and we're building the operating system underneath it: the pipeline, the checks that stop a job going out missing parts, the numbers they've never had.

It only works if it makes you 4–5× what you pay us.
That's the whole arrangement. You start small, we prove it on your real numbers, and it steps up only as the value does. No long contracts, no black-box retainer. If it isn't making you multiples of what it costs, it shouldn't exist — and we'll be the first to say so.
Built by a builder.
I'm Christian Amondson. I've spent two decades starting and running businesses — and getting burned by the exact things you're dealing with: jobs slipping, never really knowing my numbers, working in the business instead of on it.
Harkhamer is the system I wish I'd had. And I don't build it from a distance — I build it in your shop, on your real numbers, with you.
— Christian, Harkhamer
