ABOUT THE EVENT
This five-day conference is for general contractors, remodelers, and creators in the construction industry who want to grow smarter, build stronger businesses, and have some fun along the way.
Led by CCS founders Brad Leavitt, Nick Schiffer, and Morgan Molitor - three powerhouse entrepreneurs with expertise spanning the coasts and every phase of the construction journey - you’ll get real-talk advice on what works, what doesn’t, and how to scale with purpose.
And this year, we’ve officially leveled up. Mark D. Williams has joined the crew - our CCS hype man, eternal optimist, and unofficial mascot. If you know, you know. And if you don’t? Just wait. His energy is contagious, and he’s proof that showing up for your business (and your people) changes everything.
From profitability and pricing, to branding, social content, systems, SEO, partnerships, and more - we’re not gatekeeping anything. This isn’t a "sit in a ballroom for 8 hours" kind of event. It’s immersive, intimate, and built for connection. We share the good, the bad, and the straight-up messy. Because that’s where the breakthroughs happen.

About Carlson Projects
Since 1992, Carlson Projects has grown from Greg Carlson's roofing venture into Lincoln's trusted name in whole-home transformations. Now, with sons Scott and Stefan bringing fresh vision to traditional craftsmanship, we create spaces that help individuals and families change the way they live!
What we'll be able to experience together with Carlson Projects: Two Homes, Two Stories
Project Bold: Experience a basement transformation that matches this family's vibrant spirit. Following our 2023 colorful main floor remodel, we're crafting a color-rich lower level with custom cabinetry, dual bathrooms, a creative kitchenette, and an envy-worthy gym. Natural light floods every corner, making this walkout basement the ultimate family haven. We will be able to showcase a finished project as we also walk through the next phase of this fun project.
Project Warmth: Located right around the corner from our Project Bold, we have a 2007 home that has gracefully entered 2025 with a complete "Spacelift." Without changing the footprint, we've replaced cool stainless steel and dark finishes with inviting limestone fireplaces, rich ash flooring, and carefully curated lighting. The result? A dramatically warmer, more welcoming home that proves thoughtful updates can completely transform a space's character.
4:45PM
Break & Refresh
We’ll be back to the hotel around 4:30/4:45 PM for a little downtime before the evening festivities begin. Grab a power nap, freshen up, or just kick your feet up — happy hour starts soon and you won’t want to miss it.

TESTIMONIALS
"Imagine an event that would change the direction of your business forever! The Construction Coalition Summit hosted by @construction2style@nsbuilders @aft_construction was one of those events! We are forever grateful for the relationships we made this week."
- Fine Point Homes | Forth Worth, TX
"A huge thank you to everybody who organized, contributed, and helped make the #contractorcoalitionsummit a smashing success. I will admit that I was a little skeptical going into this - I have been building for over 17 years, have a small tight-knit group of trusted employees and trade partners, and like to think we have a pretty good gig. But, my mind was blown. My cup is full of new knowledge, inspiration, and new friendships, thanks to Morgan and Jamie (@construction2style ), Brad (@aft_construction ), and Nick (@nsbuilders ). THANK YOU for imparting your epic knowledge and experience, and for laughing with me…for four straight days. For a guy who takes extreme care to protect our nights and weekends, this was well worth it."
- Mark D Williams Custom Homes | Minneapolis, MN
"Left Nashville with a smile and about 12 pages of notes from Contractors Coalition Summit. Spent 3 full days learning from @construction2style, @nsbuilders, and @aft_construction along with 30 builders from all over the country. Now it’s time to get to work! Rising tides raise all ships."
- Emergent Construction | Indianapolis, IN
"What a great event with some great people! @construction2style killed with the organization of the event and @aft_construction with @nsbuilders gave us some pivotal information that’s going to take our operation to the next level. Not only that, but also the great network of people we got to meet was also amazing. Some of the best builders in the country!"
- Modern Renovations LLC | Wilmington, MA
"Three powerhouse days of motivation for Allyson! First, at the #contractorscoalitionsummit in Nashville, learning from @morganmolitor @construction2style and Brad Leavitt @aft_construction. Then it was over to @urbanlandinstitute to learn about the best and brightest new high-rise buildings in Chicago and finally to @aiachicago to learn everything about residential architecture.
What a hit! Listening to your talk really pumped me up to tackle social media even more and get serious. You are such a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration. I couldn’t miss an opportunity to see you speak and you didn’t disappoint – I hope you hear me when I say that because you are a rockstar."

"Just returned from three impactful days in the first #contractorcoalitionsummit led by three of the industry’s best @aft_construction @nsbuilders and @construction2style. Brad, Nick, and Morgan went above and beyond to share best practices with 30+ contractors, all of whom share a vision for excellence in our construction industry. Rising tides lift all ships. I am excited to be back in the office this morning with a plan to make immediate improvements with our people, our systems, and our processes."

"Progress not perfection… I feel as though to be successful professionally or personally you need to invest in yourself. There is no such thing as perfect but you can always aim for it. I decided to invest in myself and my business over the last four days at the Contractor Coalition Summit in Nashville. It was an eye opening experience where I plan to implement what I learned to grow and better this company."
- Mullen Building | Osterville, MA
"Had an amazing time the last 4 days at the #contractorscoalitionsummit learning from the building industry’s best. Huge respect and many thanks to @aft_construction @nsbuilders @construction2style for not holding back and putting everything they got into this intensive to get better. It’s great to connect with builders all around the nation and to see how much they all care for the homeowners they build for. This is why we do what we do! And we got to stay at the beautifully designed @bobbyhotel in Nashville. Can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to OHYH."
- Our House Your Home | Richland Hills, TX
"It was truly a great event. Very close knit bunch of builders from all over and very invested in growing the building community along with themselves. The blend of building science and business strategies was incredible!
Honestly, probably received more communications from these 30 builders than shows we do with 2,000 people in attendance. As a sponsor, this was very well worth it.
On the execution side and involvement as a group, it was spot on! From the rooftop to the steakhouse, all was very elegant and cozy.
Coming out of this, I feel that long lasting connections were made and I have a greater understanding of the benefits of growing these events as the role of a sponsor."
