Does This Sound Familiar?
- You pour your heart and soul into your remodeling business only to feel like you’re not seeing the profit you deserve?
- You're competing to get jobs because you keep hearing you're too expensive but then losing your shirt by the end?
- You are stuck firefighting daily, wearing all of the hats, and can't see a path to growth?
- You feel stuck because you believe that success in this industry is only for those "industry experts” you see on social media?
- Your business is so painful right now and feel that you're on an island with no one to talk to?
I know it might be hard to believe but...
Anyone can grow a remodeling or custom home building,
no matter your age, your current experience, or your lack of formal business training.
4 Myths of Growing a Profitable Remodeling or Custom Home Building Business
MYTH #1:
I have to take crappy jobs and build a name for myself before I can charge more.
The biggest myth when it comes to growing a remodeling business. And sadly, this is perpetuated by some of the most prominent builders on social media telling everyone that they struggled in the beginning, taking less than desirable work to “get in with architects.”
A good remodeling business is one where the work is priced according to an accurate scope of work, and the right mark-up to ensure you cover your overhead and turn a profit.
MYTH #2:
I can’t charge enough to pay myself a decent wage because I’m too expensive.
If you price your work low because you think that’s what you need to do to win work, then you’re going after the wrong clientele.
The problem isn’t about you being too expensive, the problem is that the majority of the people you are competing against don’t know their numbers well enough to price their work properly.
Price your work accurately, and you will begin to see a shift in the clients you are meeting and signing up. The real gap exists in your marketing and sales processes.
MYTH #3:
I can’t compete against more established companies because it’s too saturated.
Behind their glossy exterior, many of these businesses lack the efficiency, organization, and attention to detail that you strive for.
By investing in robust systems, processes, and contracts, you can demonstrate your professionalism and deliver exceptional results that leave the competition in the dust.
Don't allow the illusion of saturation to overshadow the unique value you bring to your clients.
MYTH #4:
I can’t charge for estimates because no one else is.
Here's the truth: your time, knowledge, and skills are valuable, and clients who understand and appreciate quality work will respect that if you help them understand WHY it’s important to them.
Explain how it allows you to dedicate the necessary time and expertise to thoroughly assess their project, build a complete scope of work, and minimize their financial risk while offering valuable insights tailored to their specific needs. By framing it as an investment in their project's success, you can establish yourself as a trusted professional and set yourself apart from your competitors.
And Austin Shares His Thoughts...
David, Rob, and Austin didn’t suddenly get an MBA or an accounting degree…
I simply taught them how to value themselves and their businesses, understanding that a client’s beliefs about what a job should cost aren’t aligned with reality. This has helped them both transform their mindset by pricing their work to ensure their profitability.
They now have a crystal-clear understanding of where their money is going and, most importantly, exactly where they are profiting. With this newfound clarity, they make informed decisions about potential projects ensuring their profitability.
Still have doubts that YOU CAN build a profitable construction business?
Client Success: Pricing the job for what it's worth not what you think it's worth...
Here's a student who has broken through the mind goblins of clients not paying for an estimate.
He got caught in what I call the "Good Human Principle" where you think a job is too expensive and the client is going to have a "heart attack".
But he pushed through and presented the estimate with all of the tactical things I teach you in the BUILD AND PROFIT SYSTEM and voila - he got PAID for the pre-construction estimating process.
Client Success: Learning how to break the mindset of being a hired gun... this is one of my all time favorites...
It's very easy to think that when you transition from working for someone to running your own business you are only worth what you got paid in your previous role.
But once you are a business owner, you need to learn how to value yourself and your company. I call this "respecting your business and yourself" by ensuring you price your work correctly.
Client Success: Learning the value of digital organization in a SIMPLE process...
A clean job site is a productive job site, and with all of the confusing NOISE out there regarding "All in One" Project Management Software solutions, it's easy to think you need to spend $600/month (or MORE) just to be organized.
But the truth is you don't, and in our program, you'll learn exactly HOW, step-by-step, with online videos and my support, how to get things running smoothly for dollars, not hundreds.
Let me Share my Story…
as I Feel you Might Relate…
Back in 1999, I fell into the construction industry when we bought our first house. I had no clue what I was doing, and only three years later, I started my own business.
Learning from the school of hard knocks year after year, I struggled to understand how to price my work and build a confident sales process to show my value.
This left me embarrassed to tell my wife how we were doing financially for years.
And Then Something Clicked…
After almost ten years of struggling and realizing that if I kept pricing my work the wrong way that I would be bankrupt and potentially lose our home, I decided I needed to learn once and for all how to run a profitable construction business.
I closed down my business, and I went to work for a series of established renovation companies, all doing multiple seven-figures. It was through mentorship in these companies that I learned the business side of construction, from financials to estimating to sales.
- I learned HOW to value the work we did by CHARGING FOR ESTIMATES.
- I learned HOW to estimate our work PROPERLY to ensure we were profitable.
- I learned HOW to set up and evaluate our FINANCIALS to track our profit.
And over the years, I started getting phone calls from other business owners asking me for advice on how to grow their construction businesses.
This is When I Started
to Realize…
That most people running construction businesses are likely like how I was in the early 2000s. That the trade schools teaching carpentry don’t teach you the business side, and that without knowing how to build and how to run a business - you’re set to struggle for years (if not decades).
And most people focused on working harder, thinking that if they continue to push through, they’ll finally be profitable and have the business they’d always dreamed of.
But the fundamental piece that people are usually missing is working on their PRICING MODEL to ensure they sell their work for the right price.
When others started approaching me for advice, I realized that there was a big need to help business owners who were excellent at their craft but didn’t have formal business training like me.
Construction Consulting was born.
OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS
I’ve coached over 500 students in the Build and Profit System, helping them to build profitability into a repeatable habit on every project.
Hi, I’m Bryan Kaplan
I understand how frustrating it is to be dedicated to your craft and not see the profit you deserve.
I started this business to help fellow remodelers, renovators, and custom home builders profit and grow in unprecedented ways.
As a licensed carpenter, residential renovator, and custom home builder for over 21 years, I spent years working way too hard on the wrong projects for the wrong margins. I felt like a failure.
That all changed when I decided that enough was enough, and I developed systems to grow and scale profitable construction businesses. And I want to help you.
Because I believe that life is too short to learn from your own mistakes when you can learn from mine.
Imagine if You Could...
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
You could understand your financials in a way that gave you the confidence to price your work to be profitable on every job.
