The Treatment To Your Construction Bookkeeping Symptoms

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Jan 14, 2022

Most contractors are skilled technicians who learned their tradecraft in an apprenticeship program taught by a Master Technician, experience, or combination of these methods. 
 
There is a way to learn to operate your contracting company from a Master Contractor.
 
With time, they developed a Paradigm, Mindset, Understanding, whatever word makes the most sense to you about how construction companies operate based upon their experiences.
 
In their experience, production, getting work done is the most important part of the business because they always do as employees. 
 
Since all learning is based upon connecting new things to things we already understand, most contractors fall into the trap of only doing what they know and not learning what they don't know.

Construction Industry Insights For 2022

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Jan 07, 2022

There is a natural ebb and flow in the business cycle, which in regular times operates, somewhat predictable.
 
In normal times, contractors who pay close attention to their Five Key Performance Indicators financial reports and stay aware of the macro global economy and the microlocal economy can plan and earn an expected profit after paying themselves a reasonable salary.
 
The past two years have been anything but ordinary, and frankly, we are having a tough time with the economic forecasts models we follow, including our internal ones.
 
Something similar occurred from 1976 to 1980, and suddenly in early 1981, the national and global economy began to turn around, and there was a severe shortage of contractors and qualified construction workers.

What Is Your Contractor Superpower?

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Dec 24, 2021

As a Construction Contractor, much of your world is Outside The Box. You make what seems impossible and turn it into a finished product; the whole house remodel, kitchen or bath remodel, new roof, install an attic fan, replace windows, deck, patio, hot tub, swimming pool, children's backyard playhouse. 
 
The Handyman Contractor fixes "Things," which are very important to the clients who need them—fixing a door, hanging a closet rod, moving something, removing something. Compared to a Whole House Remodel, it may seem like you are not doing anything. The reality is that to the person who needed the work done that a few simple little things may change their whole world for the better. Your Work as a Handyman Contractor brings joy to their life. Be Proud of it. No job is insignificant, and no construction business is too small for us.
 
I want to be the person who says Merry Christmas! You have earned it.

A Guide To Construction Business Recovery In The Pandemic World

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Sep 11, 2020

As you well know, the COVID-19 pandemic is not just a public health issue; it's also caused lock-downs and resulting financial worries on a global scale.
 
Almost all business sectors have experienced declining profits, liquidity that is drying out, and even bankruptcy. Although the short-term outlook varies depending on your industry sector, all business leaders need to set up a strategy to guide their way towards recovery. 
 
Nevertheless, the rough and tumble world of construction company ownership is not for the weak or the timid. It is an arena where the admission price is a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and long nights and lost sleep, with peaks of enthusiasm and depths of despair.
