Who Don’s Worked With
Built From The Ground Up
Built From the Ground Up is a practical, field-tested guide to building a profitable, respected, and sustainable construction business. Written for contractors, subcontractors, remodelers, and trade professionals, the book goes beyond craftsmanship to address the real reasons most construction companies struggle: poor systems, weak leadership, unmanaged risk, and a lack of business discipline.
Drawing on decades of real-world experience and more than $300 million in executed contracts, the author presents a six-pillar framework that transforms skilled tradespeople into effective business owners. These pillars cover relationship-building, core operating principles, sustainable growth, field management excellence, remodeling-specific strategies, and comprehensive risk management.
Rather than theory or MBA jargon, the book delivers practical strategies, real stories, and proven systems that show readers how to price correctly, lead teams, protect margins, manage risk, and build a company that can scale without chaos. At its core, Built From the Ground Up is a step-by-step recipe for contractors who want to stop reacting, start leading, and build a legacy business that lasts.
