I've got about every forum found for my drag racing stuff, and finally found this for my construction biz
Looks to be some great information and for once useful info from guys in the feild. Got started tinkering in construction when I was 12yrs old helping grandfather, stayed by his side until was out of HS and then at 18yrs old went on my own subcontracting, mainly doing the typical windows and siding routine and selling what I could on the side. After seeing how customers were being treated by shady salesman I knew i could offer a personal touch and not make the homie feel like they got the short end, not to mention I really wanted to get into building, ground up type projects, instead of focusing on 1 aspect.
So in Jan of 2000 partner and I started this business, by that fall I bought him out and it's been growing slowly ever sense. I never started this business with a take over the world goal/mentality, I enjoy this type of work and meeting the homeowners, but it's merely a way to support my habit...Dragracing :Thumbs:
This year however I want to focus on growing/expanding so I have a retirement plan so to speak, and all the advise I've read so far here gives me great hope that '05 will be an even better year!! Eventually want to start building a few specs homes a year, but for now the little stuff is keeping us busy.
