Why Understanding General Contracting Matters
Why Understanding General Contracting Matters
This short opener explains why the curriculum is built the way it is — and why it fits you no matter your trade, your size, or your stage. It's grounded in the general contracting model: real systems, financial discipline, professional contracts, and documented processes. That isn't a standard reserved for big operators; it's the mark of any healthy construction business. The scale changes from company to company. The fundamentals don't.

Introduction
Introduction
Most contractors who struggle aren't limited by their skill in the field — they're limited by the business side no one ever taught them. This introduction names that gap and maps the whole program: how the Foundation Track builds the core skills every operator needs, and how the Advanced Track carries you into scaling, financial controls, billing, and higher-level contracts. Watch this first to see how the full track connects.

How to Structure a Contracting Business
Doing the work and running the company are two different things — and how you set things up on day one either supports what you build or quietly works against you for years. This module covers the early decisions that matter: choosing the right entity, keeping your liability protection intact, carrying the licensing and insurance you can't skip, building clean financial records, and presenting a professional identity that earns trust.

Estimating Basics
Almost every job that loses money traces back to one thing: the number. This module builds the cost side the right way — reading a full set of plans with discipline, running an organized takeoff that quantifies every item before pricing, sourcing true delivered material costs, and calculating fully burdened labor from realistic production rates. A measured, repeatable method that replaces guesswork with a system you can trust.
