@@BrandonCockridge18 No that’s not what I’m saying. This guide has some much good info that I keep listening to it to instill it in my mind and make it second nature. I’ve dramatically increased my revenue since I started listening to this video and channel.

@@yodabomb2018 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.

Researching on How to start my own construction business. Since i was a kid i have loved the idea of starting my own business, I never wanted to work for someone else. I know that my business will thrive, through the grace of god.
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.
Thanks for sharing your story and I'm sorry to hear about your father. We would recommend the Heavy Ape course for sure if you're starting a new construction business.
I learned to always start from the bottom. From Knowing where to start digging, to close outs of a contract. Currently working in commercial landscape construction.
Construction isn’t my target business, pressure washing is. With that being said this video is easily applicable to ALL forms of service business. Great info
@@emmanuelawosusi2365learn the fundamentals to a handful of trades and go from there. I’m a painting contractor on my first year. Started as a pressure washer but realized I can book more consistently and for higher margins as a painter. It will also allow me to expand and allow crews to work for me in the future.
Really love this video! Thank you ! I’m 22 years old been trying to run my painting business for 3 years now and just when it started taking off covi hit ! 2022 I had work enough to pay bills . It got hard but what keeps me going is my family ! This year I hope everything goes a lot better ! Thank you for this video ! It an eye opener !
Very Cool video. I'll never work for myself, too much stress. I really enjoy working for a good company. I make over 6 figures as a commercial superintendent, in San Diego, CA. With a 401k, 4 weeks of PTO, 25k bonuses, free education, company truck and gas card.etc. That's good enough for me. My hats off to all of you contractors hustling! Keep grinding and stay humble!
alot of this information can be used for all construction business. i am a masonry restoration company that has been in bussiness for 20+years with my sons as employees and i will be taking alot of this information to heart. Thank you!
Sharing this on LinkedIn. Great video. Thank you for taking the time for this. Been in civil industry 25 years. Just stepped out in my own a year ago! Will hit $750K this year!!!
I’m pursuing a degree in construction management at a public in state university so I don’t hound myself with debt and I plan on getting my start in residential construction. In my twenties I’d like to work for a company and get experience in commercial and residential work and eventually start my own business. Videos like this are crucial for those who are up and coming.
Every month I watch this video again, again and again. You really put a lot of effort on this. Thank you. In one day I will open my own large construction company in USA and Europe, and will meet and thank you personally. Your videos are motivating..
@@SweatVenture Actually I have started business, so far small company but I know I will hit the target. I really apprechiate your hard work while you created this video. The new name I like most, as construction people put a lot of "sweat" what they do. For me creating and growing company is like rising a child, giving him/her what you have, your time, your money, your heart and when you get the result desired, I sit back and think "This is life, and you have done something in this life". 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.
Back again, i changed my entire lookout on business. Decided I'm the brain and to sit back and stop trying to take on every role. Ive had a hard year but things are looking up.
Amazing Guide, I am an Engineer and mechanic working for A construction and scaffolding company at Fort McMurray, but coming down I want to start a new Company by next year. And this was a complete package of motivation and Guide for me !!
Just started my LLC, and still in the orientation phases of the business. I’m a jack of all trades type, carpenter in flooring for many years, prior military with an electrical and mechanical engineering background. I think I will fair well. You have really motivated me to leave my 9-5 and get this party started within the next few months. The bidding and financial part is the intimidating part for me. Though, I’ll get through it. Thanks!
Right on! Sounds like you're definitely on the right track with the experience, skills, and attitude you have. If you want some tips and knowledge for bidding, give the Heavy Ape courses a look.
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.
That's exactly how I run my home improvement business. I have a very high close rate about 95 percent with a 50-70 percent gross profits . I would never change the way I'm laser focused on customer relations and my sale process .
This is probably best thing to get around for any contractor or worker who wants to take their business to new level. Points and topics covered are niche to new market trend, helpful and technically sound. Thanks for awesome video
Glad that finally, I found this video, it encourages me to take the next step toward my father's dream to continue his construction business. Thank you always!
Excellent video! The construction industry needs more quality advice like this, small business owners know their trade inside out, but running a business is also a trade, and it's a trade most aren't trained for. Content like this will hopefully help to strengthen businesses, and blue collar families! Keep it up.
Beautiful am encouraged. Best guide ever, not biased, legit, straightforward, inspiring, not to charm us and we have to make our choices as we Answer our WHY!....
Really enjoyed the video! My friend and I are in the planning process for starting our own General Construction business and hearing sage advice from those with experience like this is invaluable. Thanks for sharing!
I’m a truck and equipment mechanic independent business owner. It’s hard to get work with some of these companies even though the dealer is a week or 2 out I can get to the job within a few days but they still only want to use the dealer I get it on complicated jobs but simple jobs I could save money and time
This video did cross 3 continents all the way to Brazil, and it did help a lot, that content is amazing, simple and effective, thanks a lot for the content
Me high as fuck: Man I should sleep TH-cam: But don't you want to know how to build a multi-million dollar construction business Me: Well shit, let's see
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 🙏🏼
Great video. I'm just about starting a concrete supply business using a Volumetric Concrete Mixer. I hope to turn it into a multimillion dollar business in the next few years. In my opinion hardwork, being consistent, going a little above and beyond for the client will bring you more referrals. Keeping your operators happy and your equipment maintained well at all times is also key.
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.
Agreed. There is really no cookie-cutter template. Things seem to happen when you're innovative and keep moving your feet, right? Especially when it comes to meeting the "right" person or contact.
I’m not in construction nor plan to be but it’s good to learn and take this and put it into other forms of business. Or at-least learn and have more general knowledge. Thanks for the vid I’m just starting it rn !
This was a great video.. Better Mans Construction LLC Based outta Houston, TX. Every thing he said in this video I literally incorporated and typed in my business plan months before I got started with my company! Love the info & insight thanks!
Concerning Specialisation and Market Niches, the full quote on jack of all trade does it has a meaning to creation a multimillionaire construction project? How can you apply jack of all trade quote to your construction project if you just specify on one problem at some point when there is no problem to solve it runs the company down
Can you buy an existent construction company, and is it advisable? And if you do, as an owner would you have to really get your hands dirty along with the managers that are under you?? Thanks
You should take the Heavy Ape course, which explains more, but yes you can always buy an existing construction company. But, I wouldn't do this unless you have extensive experience and know what you're doing. Sometimes, it's ideal to build a company from scratch so you learn all aspects of it.
Yow this is the baddest video I've ever seen and watched bro nuff respect brotha I take every detail of this please to post some videos on asphalt paving and road construction
That's not a bad idea. Although digital marketing is usually the way to go these day, you might benefit from literally going door-to-door and simply ask homeowners if they need their driveway pressure washed. You could, at least, leave a business card.
this was cool and very educative, i feel i need to work harder than this, i started land clearing and quarry business at a small scale, any tips. The partnership is not coming so far
That's awesome. I wouldn't worry about a partner just yet. You may never need one. Just focus on getting one job after another, doing each job right, and eventually expanding the size of your business, e.g. equipment and projects.
We feel you, brother. Definitely check out HeavyApe.com's course. It's perfect for you. We consulted on it and highly recommend it to anyone who's starting or looking to improve their current business.
It looks like this photo did pretty well, do you have plans to make more videos like this? How long did it take you to edit this video and what did you use to edit?
Great video a lot of great insight thanks kindly for this.I am a construction company owner and know someone who uses those bid sites for large contracts.They work.
Hello there, well im into this video 6:39 i just wanna know that is there any like subjects or courses one might study to start the construction business up?
I have 1 year experience of selling software and was thinking of helping my dad’s home renovation business (tiling, flooring, painting, masonry). In order to sell these services do I need to have experience myself working in the construction business? Because I don’t understand the equipment or technical aspect. Also is door to door sales a good approach in construction to find clients?
Thanks for the comment Ali. Short answer is no--go ahead and help your old man! I actually have a similar experience helping my dad a while back. You just need to learn how to win more projects for him. IMHO, I wouldn't recommend door-to-door. I would focus on social media. Like comment below this said, HeavyApe.com is the ideal place to start. This course has an entire section of lessons dedicated to marketing and scaling construction businesses.
@@SweatVenture Thank you for your advice. I will look onto this course for sure. Could please also tell me if this makes sense. So I was thinking of helping his business after my current software developer 9-5 job. Is it feasible to do this alongside my 9-5?
@@Ali-bk1hr Short answer--yes. It won't be easy... but then again it wouldn't be easy if you didn't have a day job. I am a consultant in the Heavy Ape private group so I'm happy to help you more more there too, but, for now, I would recommend learning about marketing and prospecting leads as much as possible. This is how you will help your dad the most. He really doesn't need your help with construction-related work at all. You need to get more clients for him. It's that simple.
I have been learning construction from i was smaller now i am a 28 year old who want to own a construction company and help develop faster ways on how to deliver quality houses in the future with a good team just need the capital to help me out
I been in construction work for 28 years now and me and my bro is have a construction company now i can trust hime to come in with me Becuse i know he for the Same time i been in construction work
These numbers are so off. Im currently working on a construction job where the minimum income earned on-site is 90k a year. This includes spotters and laborers. There are plenty of two crew HDD construction companies generating 2-3 Million a year just in that field alone. These numbers are more along the lines of landscaping or maybe residential construction.
Hey just went into business with my brothers all as sole proprietorship to do windows and door installs, we wanna hire people, what’s the structure of what I need to do it all legally , Canadian “ON What sort of registration do I need , ideally the people we hire are more or less already qualified installers, it’s much less of an apprenticeship.
We’re located in the US so, of course, regulations will be different in Canada. That being said, I’m assuming to legally hire employees for your business in Ontario make sure that your business is registered with the Ontario government, acquire a business number from the Canada revenue agency, and check out the Employment Standards Act. It’s always best to speak to an attorney. Also, you should definitely check out the Heavy Ape courses. GOOD LUCK!

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.
Agreed. There is really no cookie-cutter template. Things seem to happen when you're innovative and keep moving your feet, right? Especially when it comes to meeting the "right" person or contact.
Another solid video. Well done.
Thanks Henry
I’m not in construction nor plan to be but it’s good to learn and take this and put it into other forms of business. Or at-least learn and have more general knowledge. Thanks for the vid I’m just starting it rn !
Glad to hear that, thanks!
Thank you for putting in the time and effort to create this video.
Our pleasure. Make sure you check out the Heavy Ape course
THANKS 10000000 Very informative, helpful, an appreciated Salute. FAITH WITH WRKS IS ALIVE
this is a informative video, but it has some funny clips in it, i couldn't ignore them hahaha!
great video!!
Thanks, we like to have fun! Be sure to check out our Construction Quickie videos as well.
This is a great video. Definitely will be breaking these steps down. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out the Heavy Ape course.

Every thing he said in this video I literally incorporated and typed in my business plan months before I got started with my company!
Love the info & insight thanks!
💪🏼
Glad to hear that, thanks!
Safety precautions and guidelines.
Thank you so much. This is so helpful guide. It's so powerful
Thanks for watching!
Me and my bro own construction company now together and what do you think of that?
Concerning Specialisation and Market Niches, the full quote on jack of all trade does it has a meaning to creation a multimillionaire construction project? How can you apply jack of all trade quote to your construction project if you just specify on one problem at some point when there is no problem to solve it runs the company down
Can you buy an existent construction company, and is it advisable? And if you do, as an owner would you have to really get your hands dirty along with the managers that are under you?? Thanks
You should take the Heavy Ape course, which explains more, but yes you can always buy an existing construction company. But, I wouldn't do this unless you have extensive experience and know what you're doing. Sometimes, it's ideal to build a company from scratch so you learn all aspects of it.
In addition to this video, you can contact government agencies via their government websites and sign up for their procurement opportunities.
Thank you, I found this video very helpful 🙏🏻
Yow this is the baddest video I've ever seen and watched bro nuff respect brotha I take every detail of this please to post some videos on asphalt paving and road construction
We have some videos already! Please check our playlists!
Any tips or suggestions on generating leads for a pressure washing company? Maybe call up tons of realtors?
That's not a bad idea. Although digital marketing is usually the way to go these day, you might benefit from literally going door-to-door and simply ask homeowners if they need their driveway pressure washed. You could, at least, leave a business card.
E&C spitting the facts once again. Get it boys!
They sure did
I’ve had too many nightmare biz partners go into it again with someone else. I’m all solo these days and keeping it that way.
Can’t say that i disagree
27yo framing contractor in LA any good contracts available. Which crm to track all work would you recommend
I would check out Procore or CoConstruct.
just started a construction company with one of my friends . hardest part is getting work
That's why they call it work!
Door to door generates leads
I love you guys bringing in Scripture ,very good job here
Glad you liked the video!
Right location
Hard work
Good moves
Well said
If one quits, but first sipphons a few months of knowledge and experience, should they be permitted to putting a company in your area?
Was thinking about starting an asphalt/ paving company because I have the years of experience in it
Go for it, just prepare yourself mentally for a bumpy road ahead!
IMHO 75% is hard work and the other 25% is knowledge
💪🏻
I find it more to be "its not what you know, but who you know"
This is gold!
💪🏻
good video. this is extremely useful not just for construction, but for any type of business.
this was cool and very educative, i feel i need to work harder than this, i started land clearing and quarry business at a small scale, any tips. The partnership is not coming so far
That's awesome. I wouldn't worry about a partner just yet. You may never need one. Just focus on getting one job after another, doing each job right, and eventually expanding the size of your business, e.g. equipment and projects.
Very well detailed for contractors
Thanks
Thanks Saldos, glad you got something from it.
I could use some help. 3 years in. Last year revenue was roughly 2.8. This year 1.2 and taking losses.
We feel you, brother. Definitely check out HeavyApe.com's course. It's perfect for you. We consulted on it and highly recommend it to anyone who's starting or looking to improve their current business.
Thank you, I feel I've grown too fast and took the risk and lost on the last project of 2021. I will definitely check it out. I appreciate the advice.
I just subscribed. Thanks so much for the content.
Thanks Chris. We appreciate the support. We've got a ton more content coming like this shortly so stay tuned. 2-3 videos in the next 7-10 days alone.
Great info helpful for all ages 👍🏼
Glad you liked it!
It looks like this photo did pretty well, do you have plans to make more videos like this? How long did it take you to edit this video and what did you use to edit?
Great video a lot of great insight thanks kindly for this.I am a construction company owner and know someone who uses those bid sites for large contracts.They work.
Thanks for sharing this with me
Thanks for watching!
Thank you my brother !
Mui bom informacione 🤝🤜🤛
Thanks bro!

We cover scaling businesses in other videos.
Hello there, well im into this video 6:39 i just wanna know that is there any like subjects or courses one might study to start the construction business up?
Definitely check out Heavy Ape.
thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a gtb. Awesome video!!
Thanks Tory! Make sure you check out the Heavy Ape course, if you liked this video.
I have 1 year experience of selling software and was thinking of helping my dad’s home renovation business (tiling, flooring, painting, masonry). In order to sell these services do I need to have experience myself working in the construction business? Because I don’t understand the equipment or technical aspect. Also is door to door sales a good approach in construction to find clients?
Bro you need to take heavy ape course for sure
Thanks for the comment Ali. Short answer is no--go ahead and help your old man! I actually have a similar experience helping my dad a while back. You just need to learn how to win more projects for him. IMHO, I wouldn't recommend door-to-door. I would focus on social media. Like comment below this said, HeavyApe.com is the ideal place to start. This course has an entire section of lessons dedicated to marketing and scaling construction businesses.
@@SweatVenture Thank you for your advice. I will look onto this course for sure. Could please also tell me if this makes sense. So I was thinking of helping his business after my current software developer 9-5 job. Is it feasible to do this alongside my 9-5?
@@Ali-bk1hr Short answer--yes. It won't be easy... but then again it wouldn't be easy if you didn't have a day job. I am a consultant in the Heavy Ape private group so I'm happy to help you more more there too, but, for now, I would recommend learning about marketing and prospecting leads as much as possible. This is how you will help your dad the most. He really doesn't need your help with construction-related work at all. You need to get more clients for him. It's that simple.
I worked under construction is here. In Canada and Low Payment of of basement
Well now I’m motivated to get into this
Get it!
Ace video. Thanks for the insight. Some things I've missed here and there.
Started a manufacturing company about 5 Year ago and need advice we do Airbnb containers
Hey Roger. How many are you doing per month? What is cost per each?
@@SweatVenture my first project is about six containers.
Very nice, this is my first comment in year 2021, although i am not in this business, just am architect from Saudi Arabia, but very helpful 👍
Thank you!
I have been learning construction from i was smaller now i am a 28 year old who want to own a construction company and help develop faster ways on how to deliver quality houses in the future with a good team just need the capital to help me out
Keep it up!
Thank you for the motivation
I can’t believe there are biz owners outt there only making $66k/year. That's a lot of work for not much money
It’s crazy right?
Yes!
@@botijaism Yeah so the question is. Do you want a ton of money or a ton of time? Or just some of both.
Now i sustainably built houses and businesses now is from building to food transferring
I been in construction work for 28 years now and me and my bro is have a construction company now i can trust hime to come in with me Becuse i know he for the Same time i been in construction work
So you want to work with your bro or not?
These numbers are so off. Im currently working on a construction job where the minimum income earned on-site is 90k a year. This includes spotters and laborers. There are plenty of two crew HDD construction companies generating 2-3 Million a year just in that field alone. These numbers are more along the lines of landscaping or maybe residential construction.
Hey just went into business with my brothers all as sole proprietorship to do windows and door installs, we wanna hire people, what’s the structure of what I need to do it all legally , Canadian “ON
What sort of registration do I need , ideally the people we hire are more or less already qualified installers, it’s much less of an apprenticeship.
We’re located in the US so, of course, regulations will be different in Canada. That being said, I’m assuming to legally hire employees for your business in Ontario make sure that your business is registered with the Ontario government, acquire a business number from the Canada revenue agency, and check out the Employment Standards Act. It’s always best to speak to an attorney. Also, you should definitely check out the Heavy Ape courses. GOOD LUCK!
It's also important to have insurance through the WSIB to cover any potential injuries or accidents on the job. Never neglect insurance.
Great Video, thanks for the information! 👍🏽
Thanks, Jacob!
