Вставка

- 90% of all construction companies fail, why is that? Most construction companies start off with an owner that has experience on the construction side, but not on the business side. To stick around in this industry, you need both.

I’m 21 and I’m in school full time. I would love to start a drywall contracting company with a couple of Brothers in the faith✝️. Your vids are full of great insight man!

I am from the Bahamas,
we have a school over here "btvi" it is a trade school to be more exact it is a technical and Vocational School the teach us almost everything....
I will be the first to admit that some of the things you speak about no they don't teach us, this is the more intimate part of it, AKA, nothing beats experience ....
Thanks for the video appreciate it much!
Your videos are awesome! Extremely beneficial information and insight
Awesome man, like the content. I’ve got a 2 year old business that’s sort of plateaued in the last 6 months. Looking for an edge. My problem is I’m VERY specialized. So finding jobs on bidding type platforms doesn’t typically work out best for me. I started this biz on print advertising but like I said, it’s probably gone as far as I can take it in my area. I’ll be looking over your playlist, subscribed
Tks for advices

Hey Daniel, I’m a fire sprinkler fitter contractor in Australia and even though I can’t utilise all your tips, there’s a lot I can. Very insightful and useful.

Thank you! What kind of advice do you think you won’t be able to use? I don’t really know the Australian market, but I imagine sales must be very similar to here.
You are awesome, thanks!
You're welcome!

So thankful God revealed your page to me today. My husband has worked in a family owned, general contractor, construction company for 30 years. He is the boots on the ground guy per say. Foreman ,equipment operator the best in our area I might add 😉 labor hand even job creator or P.R.guy the people person. All this to say he’s not a computer or office person but I am and I’m trying to learn how to do that side of the job as quickly as possible.We have been given the opportunity and support from his boss/dad to go after work just with his backing and paid off equipment just have to pay back a percentage of profits to him. All this to say your videos help me tremendously on how to support my husband and direct us correctly. Thank you!
Hey Sarah. Congratulations. And thank you so much for the compliments! I’m available if you want to get on a call and we can discuss your business.

Hey I'm 23 years and I started my construction company recently but everything seem not to be making sense. Do you've any advice you assist me with I'm from Zimbabwe
Do you know of any good lead generation sources for Residential GC's looking to start in the residential market? Usually the residential stuff is looking for a specific sub (ex: painter, or flooring sub) instead of an actual GC. I don't mind starting small, but I am hoping to find a source for leads of at least remodels or additions, garage/shed builds. Things like that while I build by Brand, company, and portfolio. Great content on your channel and thanks for any advice.
Hi Bobby. So the best method for residential is going to be using a digital marketing agency to get leads from Google. The second best is Home Advisor. The only thing I would advise with Home Advisor is pick only the high income zip codes. Go to Zillow.com and find the zip codes that have the highest home values and call Home advisor and tell them you only want those zip codes. Otherwise you’ll get low value leads.
Getting your own leads on Google is going to be the best because you don’t have to share the leads with other contractors. The thing is most contractors don’t know how to do this. If you call me at my office I could recommend you a digital marketing agency that we’ve worked with before that can help you. 305-433-6432. -Daniel
(Question) The big binders to your left arm what are they ane where to purchase them? "Building, Residential etc...
Hi Maurice. That’s the Florida Building Code. Every state has their own codes.
Thanks! I've seen it in the office of a roofing company.
Hello
I am located in Kitchener Ontario Canada.
I am looking for assistance in growing my small GC locally
We specialize in home renos
I need to "find" those projects that I can bid on
Your content has been very helpful
Hi Robert. That’s great we can help you. I’ve never worked in Canada on the construction site but we have done estimates for some of our clients and converted the numbers into Canadian dollars.
On the residential side, your very best source of Leads is going to be creating your own Google ads campaign.
We’ve been considering adding this as a service and we might be able to help you.
Can you send me a quick email with your contact info so we can schedule a time to talk about your company?
On the residential side, we can really explode the number of leads coming in. Online marketing is the future and now.
Here is my email: daniel@iambuilders.com
Hey great videos lots of knowledge.
I’m in the process of getting my licenses in Southern California. As new company just my self starting what is your recommendation as far LLCs or corporation thanks 🙏
Hey Isaias. That’s a question for a business attorney or CPA. Are you in our 8-Figure Contractor program?
Hi Isais, would you like to use Zoho project manage your construction project?
so you do estimating for contruction companies, and then you know the low bidder because you filed the estimates for them. and then you deal with your favourite companies below the table and give them the lowest bidder (lowest bid which you estimated for them) basically selling the confidentiality Data to your preferred builder which sat before you in the table and spent one hour of their valuable time to chat and look you in the eye and built relationship with you, so they win the bid with the inside information you gave them, and the other guy which you still charged them for your estimating service lost the bid because you:
for one you gave them the high bid which you know is not favored by clients
two, they lost because you gave away their secret bid price so they are beaten..
the whole idea of bidding is that every person, will without any knowledge of their competitors bid price, must at their best provide their price at which they will do the project to their best quality and at the lowest price creating competitive environment that is fair because no one knows the other persons price. the only given information is the Details of the project which must be completed and its requirements of execution.
HOW IS IT EVEN LEGAL WHAT YOU ARE DOING ? corruption at its best
Aziz 😂😂 quite a story. Where did you get all of this? It’s simple - our contractors are busy people and don’t have time to estimate to keep growing their companies or they don’t know how to. We do the estimates so they can focus on running their jobs and being owner-operators of their business.
No inside information here.… you might want to consider a career in script writing for the movies.
Anyway, if you need help growing a construction business rather than complaining about what other are doing, please let me know and we’re here to help.
-Daniel
No I am not going what’s it about
i need to talk to u, how?
Hii.. My goal is starting a construction company now.. Any advices please bcoz for no one to guide but i have a strength and ability to start just i need good advice..
Hey Manu. Of course - Our training program is designed for guys like you that are just starting your own company: iambuilders.com/8-figure-contractor-training
Am a builder by profession but I work for another company. I want to run my own construction company. What more entrepreneurship skills for construction do I need?
The biggest thing is, you have to learn how to find leads, estimate the jobs, negotiate, and finally you get the contract. Then you can actually perform the work, which you already know how to do. A lot of guys don’t realize that to start your own company you need to learn a whole new set of skills, we can have our 8-Figure Contractor Academy that teaches you and your team everything you need to grow a construction business, including professional construction management and sales. Let me know if you are interested.
I run a construction company .But I have no organization chart.plz help me to make it and give advise a bout construction
Of course I can help. What do you need help in specifically? That way I can point you in the right direction.
Can a Certified General Contractor also hold/be a Builder Contractor License in the same state (Florida) at the same time?
What do you mean? In Florida there is a CGC and a CBC license. They are both general contractors. However, the CGC means you can build unlimited, and the CBC means you’re limited to three stories.
@@iambuilders
Hi,
No, what I am referring to is: I am already a Certified General Contractor in the state of Florida but Im now want to also take the exams to be a Builder Contractor in Florida. Can I have both licenses at the same time? First, GC one and then the BC one and have both valid licenses at the same time???
Who can help me find a good app to estimate my jobs ?
Hello. We can help you estimate your projects. Go to my website and enter your info: www.iambuilders.com
I want to be come a contractor after SHS can I
What do you mean by SHS?
I am an electrician in New York, I opened a company to do sub contracting in electrical. Let me know if you are interested in working with me.
I want to start a construction estimating business. Can you help me with that?
Hi Taimoor. As much as I would love to, we provide estimating services for our clients so it would be a conflict of interest. I am happy to help you with other areas of construction.
@@iambuilders what about structural design? Can you help me with that.
I'm based and operate in Jamaica 🇯🇲, is your course still of use to me?
Hello. Our course is designed for all types of construction in any country. I specialize in B2B so your typical clients will not be homeowners but architects, developers, general contractors, etc.
This should work for you and your country as well. The good thing is there’s a 14 day trial right now so you can start watching the videos and see if it’s a good fit for you.
@iambuilders appreciate it, I'm a Drywall Subcontractor that's working on getting my own contracts with my own firm and grow as much as I can overtime.
Texas doesn’t require license?
I’ve been told by clients that it’s kinda like the Wild Wild West out there lol. I believe all you need is to the paperwork and licensing fees. I’ve also heard you don’t need one so…. Not 100% sure.
Most people want license and bonded before they even talk to you.... so finding a job without is going to be hard unless you know the person
Not necessarily. That’s only if you’re going for government jobs. We do leads and prospecting for some of our clients and it’s actually very rare for someone to ask for bonding unless it’s a huge job or a public works job.
@@iambuilders hasn't been my experience

What is the best way to call or contact you for business?
Hi Thai. Call me at my office or email me any time: 305-433-6444 or daniel@iambuilders.com.
What did you have in mind?
Does lead companies charge a lot for nothing
If you use Bluebook or Dodge, these are for commercial. You might be thinking of Angi, Yelp, and Homeadvisor. Those aren’t the best.
The commercial platforms give you plans and all the contact info for you to prospect and find clients.
