Contracting Is A Trade Of Choice And For Many It Is A Calling
It is a professional who may wear work boots, tool belt and a hard hat every day. They make our homes and businesses a better place to live, work and play. Who is an Emerging Contractor?
Our formal definition of an Emerging Contractor is "Anyone who is ready to make changes, grow and improve their construction company" Simple, straightforward and to the point.
If You Are Ready To Start Your Own Contracting Company
Someone who currently works as an employee and is ready to strike out on his / her own you could be an Emerging Contractor.
If You Are Ready To Get Your Contractor’s License
Someone who brand new or whose contractor’s license expired during the last recession you could be an Emerging Contractor.
If You Are Ready To Grow Your Contracting Company Sales And Profits
Someone who has an active business license, contractor’s license and looking for projects you could be an Emerging Contractor.
If You Are Ready To Add One Or More Employees
Someone who may have dramatically downsized during the recession and is ready to go again you could be an Emerging Contractor.
If You Are Ready To Expand Your Construction Company
Someone who is moving to a little less hands-on role in their contracting company you could be an Emerging Contractor.
Being an Emerging Contractor is not about having the “Most Employees” or only bidding the “Big Jobs” It is about doing the best that any contractor can do in their specific field by themselves as a one person owner/operator or as with employees, adding additional tools, trucks, equipment and employees when the timing makes sense.
For some, it starts with learning the difference between customers and clients. It’s getting that first project and how to deal with the paperwork. As they gain clients and find out who your best client is, where they live, and how your construction company can provide the products and services they desire and do it in a way that increases your construction company sales and profits.
For others, they now have experience from before that they want to build on and grow a larger company with 3, 4 or 5 steady employees working full time. Keeping the pipeline full with work, doing a little less hands-on in the field and a little more in the office, estimating and meeting new clients.
If any of this describes you then you could be an Emerging Contractor. There are two ways to build your construction company; the hard slow way learning by experience or the fast easy way by hiring a qualified construction company business coach who understands you and the construction industry and can guide you to earning large profits and controlled growth.
