The myth: I don't need SOPs. It's all in my head.
The math on standard operating procedures for contractors:
- 92% of $1M contractors have zero documented SOPs
- Documented businesses sell for 3.7X more at the same revenue
- 1 in 11 businesses that go up for sale actually sells
If your construction business runs on you, that's not an asset. That's a hostage situation.
Yesterday we broke down the 5 core plays every contractor operations manual needs, and why the SOP you write today is the exact instructions you'll hand an AI agent tomorrow.
Quick win: Pull your phone out. Record the ONE thing you answer 50 times a week. Send that video every time. That IS an SOP. Done beats perfect.
