If you’re in a position to buy a company, you’re not starting from zero. If you really want to know what starting from zero is, come and talk to someone who has hit rock bottom and started a small construction business as a result of being laid off during a pandemic.

I have special insight into this company and I assure you they started with nothing more than an idea a couple trucks and maybe some hand tools. That being said I have much respect for anyone bootstrapping a construction business. Its not easy. Keep up the good work and know your numbers!

A couple of trucks is a good starting point

@@SuccessfulContractor "started with nothing" must mean something else to you. What Joe Wilson said is if you have either the cash or the credit to purchase a functioning company, you're not starting from zero. It's like if a billionaire decided to start a construction company without any experience in construction, but had the funds to hire consultants, staff, & advertising to get it started. That's not starting from zero.

Ask the right questions next time! Why did he start a fence business in Panama City? It’s because they had a category 5 hurricane that destroyed everything. No shortage of work there and insurance companies pay for all of it. All trades did well and still are.

I used to work for a fence company I’m going out on my own now about to take my test for licensing what do you think should be Some stuff I should be focusing on in the beginning of this process

Focus on building a good quality team. This won’t be cheap and because of that you need to focus on making a profit on every job. Trying to be the cheapest will be a race to the bottom. Keep your profits up and your prices up so you have capital to pay your team well and grow your business. Know what you need to charge to make a profit. If you can’t calculate this on your own work with a good accountant. Keep watching the channel. Every week there is more information that will help you as you grow your business.

How can you scale estimating that way without coming up with a pearl in your foot price? Is it just establishing processes and procedures for the sales staff? So that they know what to add to a job? Or does ownership have to be involved on determining the numbers for every job?
@SuccessfulContractor
@SuccessfulContractor 2 года назад
It can be a mix. I’m getting ready to show you how we do it in our new startup series. I refuse to price by the foot FYI.

Watched this a few days back, it kept bothering me so im back for my two cents. ..... "We dont charge per foot we charger per section" "dont know how those guys can be profitable charging per foot"..... Bro...if you charge per section youre charging PER FOOT. You dont do jobs smaller than lets say 200 linear feet (just guessing)....its only because your company overhead is insane. Id also be willing to bet that you have the same company motto as the ones near me, you subcontract all of your work to an army of Mexicans....you dont pay them shit, all the while running your hole about the volume of work you provide them....lmao. 3 million in annual sales, 1m in material, 350k paid out to subs, 750k in overhead. Whats profit 750k..... dont think so though.
@SuccessfulContractor
@SuccessfulContractor 3 года назад
I assure you they don’t have a single sub or subcontract crew. All their jobs are done in house with team members they employ. Is their company perfect? No, but show me one that is. This is about sharing ideas that you may be able to use in your business. Take the ones you like and disregard the rest. Thanks for watching. 🤙
