We all know the next one is approaching. And while the next recession may be inevitable, its impact on a GC can be surprisingly controllable. The usual advice may be valid; save your money, trim your expenses, reduce your debt. However, these moves are more like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic than addressing the problem head-on with a meaningful strategy. Most GCs tend to take their economic beating lying down, incorrectly believing there is nothing they can do. But there is! Stand up and fight for your prosperity, regardless of the economic cycle. Learn how in our free report.

15 Avoidable Ways to Lose Money as a Contractor

Sometimes, a job goes south because of a devastating weather event, the loss of key personnel due to injury, material or equipment failure, or other circumstances that can wreck profit. But, there are also many habits, practices, and decisions based on misinformation and inaccurate “truisms” that contractors unknowingly engage in. These may have just as devastating impact on your bottom line, but without the accompanying drama.
This session looks at common misconceptions, habits and practices that may be robbing you of profit.
Creating and Making Money with a Real Lead Carpenter System
September 10, 2019 at 12 pm Central Time
The lead carpenter system is so far the greatest production method to impact the remodeling industry. Many companies are enjoying the countless advantages this system helps facilitate including higher profits, better customer satisfaction and employee retention. Yet most companies, as well as many carpenters calling themselves lead carpenters, don’t really understand the roles and responsibilities of a “true” lead carpenter. Before you can hire or train employees to implement the system at your company, you must understand what is really expected of the business as well as a Lead Carpenter. Attend this presentation before you make assumptions. You might be surprised at what a real Lead Carpenter System can do for your business and aspiring field employees!

Remodelers Advantage
One of the most important aspects of marketing is positioning your company in your space — but many remodelers often overlook this critical component. However, it’s the best way to separate your company from the competition, especially if you’re in a crowded market or competing against entrenched firms.
Wes Powell, co-owner and vice-president of Builder Funnel, says positioning isn’t something you do with your products or services, but instead it happens in the mind of your prospect. Comparing it to the automobile industry, Mercedes-Benz might hold the position of quality, Volkswagen might hold the position of economy, and Toyota might hold the position of reliability, but each one has its unique position in your mind and none of them overlap.

Markup & Profit
Odus Sweetin, owner of Sweetin Construction Co., Chattanooga, TN, asked us many years ago if we'd be willing to share some ideas on the importance of profit. He said that he'd run into many other contractors who have misguided ideas about profit. This article was originally published in 2004 via email only.
Too many confuse profit with salary or with hourly wages. They also believe that profit is optional: that contractors should be satisfied with making a "good living."
Let's look at how we are paid.
Hourly Wages: Hourly wages are paid for physically working on a given job. Hourly wages can (and should) be paid to the owner if they are the one working on the job. These wages are paid directly from the job cost (cost of goods sold) account. Time for this work should have been included in the original estimate or change work order. If it is not, the job cost accounting will not be accurate, and in turn the markup for that company will be inaccurate (too low).

Pro Remodeler
Chip Doyle writes, "I spend a lot of time asking my students to stop trying to persuade their prospects to buy from them. At first, they think I’m joking. They don’t understand the difference between selling and persuasion.
Selling is the activity of qualifying potential buyers that meet specific criteria. A common definition of persuasion is to prevail on a person to do something, as by advising or urging. If persuasion is telling, then selling is asking."

Smart home technology is expected to be a major area of growth for the remodeling industry over the coming years. This sentiment comes from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies’ Remodeling Futures Program, who recently conducted a literature review of major studies on the topic. Seven key takeaways—as compiled originally by Elizabeth La Jeunesse, senior research analyst—as well as areas deserving further study regarding smart home technology have been identified. (Note, this look defines “smart home technology” as devices that enable remote control and/or monitoring of household systems.)

Qualified Remodeler
Shawn McCadden writes, "I can’t imagine how someone would risk starting and running a remodeling business without knowing how the financial side of things work—knowing whether they will make a profit. Not knowing can put your retirement and your family’s future at risk.
It might be just as foolish as setting out on a road trip to the other coast with duct tape over the gas gauge. Imagine not even checking your gas gauge as you begin your journey. Yet, every day a new remodeler will start a business and do just that. It’s one of the main reasons 85 to 95 percent of all contractors eventually fail in business. Others can keep limping along pretending to be business owners because their wives have a good job with health insurance."
