Thank you for your articles, they have helped us learn so much about running our own construction business and we are grateful. We have purchased your book Markup and Profit as well, and it’s extremely helpful as well.
I have learned a lot over the past nine months about the construction business but I still have much to learn about running it well and efficiently. Your site has been a wealth of knowledge and encouragement for me and I share it with my husband and our new team. Thank you for sharing and helping others with the skills and wisdom given to you.
Markup and profit has become my bible, just a fantastic book that is super easy to read and follow along…the fact that it is written in plain English by a contractor is huge!
I gave away my first copy of your book to my brother-in-law who’s been contracting for 20 years. As he leafed through the pages of your book, he kept saying things like, “That’s exactly right, but the way he expressed it makes so much sense…” Thank you for such helpful products. I’m working through your video estimating course (just completed courses 3-4 today between jobs!)
As the saying goes “if I knew then what I know now” I would have read both books and attended this most valuable training class 11 years ago before I started my business. This training should be taught in college for anyone considering a career in construction. Thank you both for sharing your experiences, knowledge and truly helping the little guy.
I have purchased a few of your other products one of which is “Markup and Profit (revisited)”. There is no doubt I am more confident in pricing and estimating jobs. Now it’s past time to learn more about selling. The statement “nobody makes any money till someone sells something” is so true and overlooked. I’m greatly looking forward to getting into the Profitable Sale’s book.
