@@925Construction hey brother , we’re similar in age. I’ve actually gone back to school to earn a degree in construction management. That same boss encouraged me to get my education. He also studied building science and architecture. If schools not for you, no problem! You can get training or look for certification programs in project management, or take a course at community college. I highly recommend taking Economics as it’s the foundation in business. Build a strong foundation and you’ll be alright !

My father has been a construction worker for years. Recently things have been bad, we can barely afford a 1 room apartment. The contractors he's been working for screw him over, by not paying him or avoiding him. It's gotten. So bad he almost got into fights with those people. As for me, I'm sick and tired working so hard at jobs that pay me so little. So I decided to stand up and start up my business soon. I know it won't grow right away but I want to make it work for the sake of my father, he's had 30+ years of experience, as long as I can negotiate then I can make this business grow. Hope u guys liked my story and if anyone is willing ti give tips or help me out, I would appreciate it, I would love a mentor hahahaha.

This is a great video! I have a roofing business that does well! I believe that showing your clients pictures of your work is truly another way to land that deal. Clients choose their contractors not only based on their reviews but also on knowing they can do the job! This is where my portfolios come in handy and I send at least 10 with every bid and land 98% of my bids! I built this software with my team and love it because I have everything nice and organize with the ability to share it in seconds! You have to love what you do and most importantly, take pride in your work and the word will spread. Return every call asap and make sure you always follow up, but never be too pushy.

There is a lot of to talk about, but dont want take your time much. My recommendation to those who start from scratch: Watch this video at least 3 times, memorize it.

About to hit the 2 year mark since opening my business as a civil subcontractor focusing on excavating, demo and grading. I’m a one man show also. 2022 was my first full year and managed 164k in revenue, putting almost all of it back into the company investing in a couple trailers, better truck for towing, and attachments for the mini. This year is off to a rough start and having issues collecting. Seems like I always have open invoices 60-90 days and the contractor I do 90% of my work for says he hasn’t gotten paid on the job therefore can’t pay me. Any advice on how to get paid in the 30-45 day range? Especially when most invoices are under $10k.

Thanks for sharing, George. First off, a lot of people are having issue collecting right now. People are in fear of the banks and economy and are dragging their feat. But, this will pass. Also, I know it's tough, but you might want to consider not being a "one-man show" anymore. Very hard to scale big like this. Check out the Heavy Ape course. It should help you a lot where you're at right now.

@@SweatVenture thank you for the quick reply! I’ll definitely look into the course. I know hiring the right way is costly and risky, but I have to mitigate risk as much as possible which I could’ve done better in the past. Because the end goal is that million dollar company. Thanks again 🙏🏼

Lets say I have already developed a million dollar business and now I need advanced procedures for joint ventures or developing a corporation with other partners? I am a KB1 General Contractor and I think I would like to take it a step larger. How do people build skyscrapers? I can not bond for that amount and I have never built one. I would need partners. How do I develop partners whom I have never met? I think its beyond a business plan. I may need to compile a portfolio that lays out my financial standing and resources but I am not sure what that looks like. How do I find the right businesses that would like to partner with me? What does that business look like? What would I request of them to prove they are worthy?

Those are great questions Philip. Firstly, I would recommend taking the HeavyApe.com course, bc there's a lot of good nuggets of info pertaining to scaling a construction business on there. That being said, the first thing that comes to mind about finding "big", reliable partners is speaking with experienced, "big" attorneys who handle contractors. Consider how many big fish they know and have worked with in the past. If you approach them in the proper way and show that you have some clout, they shouldn't have any issue referring you to potential partners.

Thanks for the info. I have one successful project complete with a joint venture but I was one of the lucky few who forced things through in a small town with people that I know who bend the rules and I happen to have a friend who could provide bonding capacity for me to get this one project that is beyond my normal bonding capabilities. Anything is possible if you insist on things being done but now I am looking for these next big steps.

Good video but only in theory, real life is something different. I had my own business for 5yrs, and 20+ yrs experience in my field, extensive experience over others. I do live a bit better than as an employee earlier but to land a decent jobs its more who you know whan what you know. Thats how market works if you wanna be a serious player, if you dont have a hook ups and buddy buddy contracts chances of making it big are slim to none.
