About the Speaker

Trevor Burns

Owner | Building Force Solutions

About the Speaker

Trevor Burns owns Building Force Solutions, a fractional HR firm built for construction and the shops that fabricate for it. His clients are owner-operated businesses, often family-run, where the same person is quoting jobs, running the floor, and trying to figure out whether he documented that last termination well enough to defend it. He works on the problems fabrication shops actually have. Hiring and holding onto shop and install crews. Writing discipline that stands up when it gets challenged. Getting supervisors to handle people issues before they land on the owner's desk. Keeping employment law from turning into an expensive surprise. He builds HR that fits a shop, not a corporate org chart. Trevor holds the PHR through HRCI and the ASP through BCSP. In this industry that combination matters, because he can address both safety questions and employment questions at the same time. He has 12 years in HR, most of it in construction and building products. He works with ISFA on HR and employment matters and is based in Kansas City and serves nationwide.
