I AM Builders is a National Construction Estimating Firm in the business of helping contractors win projects.
We can estimate your entire project for you based on local pricing. We perform construction estimating services for busy contractors.
Most contractors are so busy running their jobsites that they NEGLECT the estimating. You’re supervising jobs, making deliveries, and going to jobsite meetings, and the only time to work on estimating is NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
We help contractors learn how to grow their construction business and help them bid (and win) on more jobs.

That happend to me two months ago contract signed. They wanted a better material for the same price. Lol over 8k difference . Small roof too
My SOV never matches the contractor numbers. 😢very frustrating the back and forth correction.
Lucky save! You're looking at missing the 600k contract but it's really saving the 40% material exposure. The GC knew it was a murder clause and you had missed something.
Where can bud on jobs from
Well how could you have made money if you had to use the 16ga over the 20ga? Maybe you could have ran some CRC and clipped it off at limiting height 🤷🏽♂️ Seems GC knew what was up and wanted to get over Did you ever do work for him again?
The GC didn’t know what he was doing lol. I’m sure they ended up using 20 gauge, but we were on the hook contractually. Yes we did, on other projects.
@ Ah okay, well, as long as he used y’all again, that’s a W

Man all the construction videos are about private structure jobs. I do civil engineering projects so I have to deal with the city, state, sometimes even federal organizations. The fights on change orders or T&M are so different than what you're describing. We're basically the sub contractor of the city, but we're the GC. We have 6 sub contractors plus ourselves doing work. So we come with CGs as well as our subcontractors but they come to us. Very confusing and we have to be hypocrites sometimes
12:01 I clicked the link and it looked like a sales funnel info course - what gives ?
Not sure what you’re talking about. We offer estimating services plus a sales system for contractors. Kind of like a school.

This is excellent advice I'm just starting out myself in the non-profit world. I'm doing something very bold, mortgage-free housing, what we're actually looking to do is give people little farmsteads wherever they live to promote self-sufficiency. I have learned a lot and now I'm doing general contract work with my brother. He's been in the game a very long time and I'm just getting started. But I have skills I bring to the table but now I see all of my other skills are where the money's at. I'm ambitious driven and having the time of my life! Thank you for all this information. Keep an eye out for us, we are Sustainable Farmstead Solutions in Milwaukee Wisconsin My name is Vanessa and I'm the founder. My goal is to help my brother with some of his marketing stuff while making important contacts. Mortgage free housing is ambitious but I got a great Head start and just know that my ideas will pan out for everyone.
Wow great info. Do you use xactimate for your estimating?
I was number 17. Thank you for all the videos. They are awesome I’m trying to learn a few things in California the market way different.
We are working on railway stations projects in UAE, any local consultants providing service?

which type of account are you using, subcontractor, supplier, or GC ? In which type of account, where we can see bidders of every project ?
As a federal Project Manager in the industry, I can confirm that his strategy on the RFI works very well!

Maybe they are.. but COs should NOT be the "Lifeblood of this business" or any construction business. It's one thing if an owner/buyer/customer legitimately requests additional work, and it's clearly over, above, and beyond the original contract scope of work... but what you're talking about is a dirty little secret SCAM of an entire industry...with subcontractors, suppliers, and even GCs intentionally UNDERBIDDING work in order to get the contract, and the make it up by OVER-BILLING THE SNOT OUT OF EVERY TINY LITTLE INCONSISTENCY in the project documentation... and *just enough* loopholes in the contract language to make the GC or the Owner liable to pay for the "cost overrun". There is no fix. This is what you get when "absolute lowest bid" wins the contract no matter what. There could be 10 companies each 100x more qualified who came in 1% above the "low bid" but too bad so sad... the only thing that is considered is that bottom line price on the bid. And it's meaningless because the ENTIRE profit on that job is going to be determined by the mountains of "change-orders" that will be created along the way... with the job probably costing some multiple of the original bid.
Every time I talk about change orders, everyone misunderstands. If you sign a contract with a detailed scope of work, that’s what you’re contractually bound to. Anything outside of that contract is additional costs. If you’re not charging change orders for additional work, you’re massively leaving money on the table and getting taken advantage of by your client. Secondly, every job has change orders. Sometimes owner changes, sometimes backcharges, sometimes rework due to coordination issues. All that is chargeable. Now my question to you - if you have an agreement, and they ask you for additional work outside the plans and agreed upon scope of work, are you doing that for free?
Totally agree the only way that actually gave me customers to my new project for a restaurant program was that ads don't work that effective as someone trying to get money buy sell the program for you
I’m a small residential GC. I ALWAYS front load my deposit and early invoices / SOV. I rarely will execute work on credit. If a client wants slower payment terms prices goes up ~5-10%. I explain that it greatly increases my risk - unless it’s a repeat client that I can trust will pay fast. I require payments usually within 3 days of invoice date. Most of clients are paying cash or have a HELOC. I do invoice as a SOV even on small residential projects unlike most small guys. As a residential GC showing a SOV for work completed is huge advantage when most other small residential GCs have haphazard invoicing methods. The SOV makes my invoices super transparent the homeowner feel like they know exactly what’s being paid for and when.
