Preconstruction process

Tyler-
That was awesome a lot great information. Gives contractor an insight on the value of their work and how vet clients. By the way you gotta switch the intro beat. You’re from Dirty Jerz, we know Nick probably listens to Kenny Chesney but you gotta get a better beat for the intro specially with the Rebrand if not you’re hip-hop card is gonna get revoked.

Must listen

Great show and must listen to anyone in the trades. It’s great for anyone looking to grow their business, perspective in your trade or just to vent frustration of problem areas from running a construction company in today’s economy. It’s been a great add to my podcast line up and look forward to new episodes and old ones.

Great helpful tool

Appreciate all the content y’all put out. As a small business owner I learn a lot and am glad to have found likeminded contractors that are selling more than just a job! I’m an electrical contractor building a business based on experience and a higher end over product and service etc.
