Welcome to Built for Profit
Hey everyone, you might notice some visual changes to the group today. I’m officially rebranding the page to Built for Profit and expanding our focus. Up until now, this group has been heavily geared toward electrical. But the truth is, whether you run mechanical, plumbing, framing, finishes, or electrical, the rules of commercial contracting are exactly the same: accurate bids, tight cash flow, and solid project management. We are opening the doors to ALL commercial subcontractors. As part of this expansion, I am simplifying how this community operates. I want this to be the single most valuable hub on the internet for commercial subs to master their numbers and scale. Moving forward, all community access, estimating templates, business SOPs, and project management resources are completely free. No paywalled courses or tiered group memberships. I am giving you the playbook to build a highly profitable business. If you use these resources to scale and eventually want direct, private execution to fix your specific bottlenecks, I take on a small roster for 1-on-1 private coaching. That will be the only paid item offered here. Everything else in the Classroom and the community feed is yours to use. If you are here to build a real business, get off the tools, and master your numbers, you are in the right place. Look out for new resources dropping in the Classroom tab soon. Let's get to work.
New Video!
I'm curious what your thoughts are on this topic. It seems like in the commercial world GC's and Sub's are enemies a lot of the time. Let me know your thoughts!

How's it going all you awesome Sparkies out there.
I am new to this group, I am a Master Electrician in Colorado, and just got my Contractors license, and started my own company. my last company basically fired me for getting my masters license so I said what the heck, why work for someone else? I started Iron Mose Electric the day I got fired. named after my black Labrador Mose. I have a lot of experience in being a foreman on commercial jobs but no experience in business, so here I am starting the 2nd apprenticeship nobody tells you about. I've spent the last three weeks setting up the company, creating the brand, the website, and applying with general contractors and construction companies to be an approved electrician to take some bids. its pretty quiet here in my home office as I've had one lead and is now my total finances for the future, $1600. I've got enough in personal savings for the next year of bills, and luckily my wife is still working, but slow start is the name of the game. I am probably going to have to start with small resi service jobs till cash flow grows unless I take a SBA loan to bid on some smaller commercial jobs. anybody here ever use PlanHub? thinking of getting but has a big upfront cost. any advice / encouragement y'all want to share will be much appreciated.
