Hey. I am glad that you enjoyed my post. Thanks for the constructive advice you gave me. Oh wait, you didn't give me any constructive advice, you just copied and pasted my post onto another thread and added some little smiley face. Well thanks anyway. I am sure that you are a good dude despite doing that.

You are going to have to grow a few more layers of skin if you wish to hang out here at CT!

This is Who we are and How we do it!

You will soon understand and become one of the pokers and prodders rather than the one being poked and prodded!

Honestly, I thought it was kinder
not to respond to your post.
I thought that some of the guys who
eat dirt and sweat blood to buy the
equipment, repair and maintain it,
and make payroll might enjoy it.

1. How would you compete against people that are self performing their scope of work, when you have to mark up a subcontractor that has a markup included in his price already?

2. How are you going to compete against people that own their own equipment out right and only charge labor and fuel in this recession when you will be renting or whatever?

3. Do you know how much time, energy, experience etc.. it takes to put a bid out for commercial or government projects?

4. What are you going to do when the large contractors (that are just using you for participation points) require a performance surety and you have no equity in your business to get one because you don't physically own anything?

5. Working for your fathers sitework company when you where a kid and having a construction management degree does not, I repeat, does not qualify you to start a business in this specialty construction industry. You need to bid work for somebody for at least 5 years to learn the ins and outs of this cut throat ****. That would be a basic education because I know when received my degree it did not prepare me for jack squat.

Good luck to you, I hope you achieve your goals my friend.

I started my commerical contracting company before i completed by degree, maybe i was stupid but it turned out ok. I would suggest you build a up a truck load of cash first, i burnt through so much money in the first 18 months.

In most SBA HUB contracts you have to self preform at least a minimum percentage of the work. It is difficult, not imposible, to get certified without speciallized equipment of some sort. Just my two cents.
