The Construction Leading Edge Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
EPISODE 287: Here's what no one is talking about - good construction companies are actually good pre-construction companies.
Instead of giving away free estimates, they charge for doing them to bring great value to their clients, even at the early stage of the construction process.
So in this week's episode, Construction Leading Edge's Systematize Your Construction Business (SYCB) coach Monish Khadye speaks with Daniel Hickey, owner and project manager at Hickey Construction.
Daniel shares how his construction business went from earning $550k to $2M in just a few years - all thanks to solid pre-construction and rigorous handoff processes.
He also talks about how he was kicked out of his business in a good way, the positive ripple effects that his customers and team have seen after putting in the right systems and processes, how the SYCB program impacted his business and family life, and more.
Let's get this started!
