Great video. I was trying to communicate to my dad to increase his prices. He was concerned about 2 things: 1 - doing estimates, people are all about the best value. His reason was that a house doesn't increase profit for the client, so they are just trying to get the job done for a reasonable price. Therefore he feels the need to be really competitive with pricing. With materials and labour as fixed prices, his profit is the only adjustable variable. His second objection to charging more was just that there is a market standard for the cost of something like building a house. So if the cost of building a house is on average X, then it is hard to get a job bidding X+$, because at a point that service isn't worth it. He also talked about reputation - trying to not be the guy who's really expensive, but not sure that's as easy to address. Any thoughts or videos on these? Thanks!
Great video 🤙 I just got a project manager with a small company. I'm 2 months in. I have construction experience, I've been a plumber for 10 years and always asked questions about the other trades. I picked up here and there along the way. Still have a lot to learn and I'm excited for it. I'm currently managing 2 100k+ jobs and 1 8k job. I feel good about the clients and my general contractor and our team building together. Never did I think I'd land this job but it makes me real happy within. And to see the creativity, dreams and then the result of the clients dream home,brings an unexplainable sense of gratitude and accomplishment. It's strategic and hard work but it definitely pays off. Thank you for your video. Looking forward to watching more through out my days. Have a great day. 🤙
If I start working at 18, how many years of experience do I need before becoming a general contractor? I am very motivated to work hard and love doing and watching construction. How long would it take me to make 6 figures consistently? That's my goal.
Not as long as you think as long as your not stupid. Learned drywall, finish carpentry , framing, flooring , painting and basic tile in two years. Still have to have subs for electrical and plumbing and any crazy tile work if needed
@@alexandertuck2683 Sweet, do you think I could become one when I'm 21 or 22? Also, how do you get a job in construction to learn all of the drywall, finish carpentry, framing, flooring, painting, and basic tile?
I work as a wood floor installer, started 1.5 years and I’m doing my best to learn everything I need to know and start my own company, that’s one good path to choose, work hard pays off
