These are the principles when applied to create a successful business in the industry. The problems we face in the building industry are the same problems we face in all of the business worlds. These principles create a business designed to thrive not just to survive. Businesses worldwide end in up the same traps I see contractors fall into. These traps range from being stuck in a poverty mindset to having poor a business structure and system and failing to integrate values between the business and its employees. The poverty business mindset and these limiting beliefs are from a manager’s past experiences, causing pain that drives them to run businesses out of fear of living in default. I frequently refer to this as a low bidder mindset.

These principles help you design a world-class business that overcomes problems and pitfalls rather than recreating them from project to project. Master these principles and use them as tools to create the environment of a world-class business so you can beat the building inspector that challenges your business. Soon you’ll see the many results: more time, more money, and more freedom in a winning environment. By determining your strengths and weakness, together we’ll chart out a world-class transformation.
