STARTING A SUCCESSFUL CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS: Proven Advice From The Trenches (BUILD AMERICA CONSTRUCTION SUCCESS FIELD GUIDE SERIES)

Scott Jennings has 35 years in the heavy/civil construction industry, starting at the bottom as a laborer and working his way to the top as owner of his own construction company doing near $25 million annually. On the way, he experienced the highest successes and the ultimate low of losing near everything, and back again. He now works as an independent consultant to some of the country’s largest civil construction contractors, as well as serving as a deeply knowledgeable, sought-after expert witness in construction-related court cases. Scott now makes his diverse construction experience available to any contractor, owner and project manager with the savvy to recognize professional gold, through his Build America brand. This includes these field guides, his popular podcast and eNewsletter, all produced with the intent to share his hard-won insider knowledge. If you appreciate candid, no-bull insights straight from the trenches, this series is for you. And you don’t have to be a civil construction specialist to benefit from this straight-talking, shoot-from-the-hip advice: most of it applies equally to commercial and residential construction, as well. This volume deals with the intricacies of creating a construction contracting firm designed to grow and thrive in today’s dog-eat-dog business of building America. Scott shares real-world tactics and strategies about everything from start-up paperwork and accounting through banking and bonding to working with professional service providers. It’s solid insights and advice from a guy who’s been there and back. “While many construction contractors excel in the field, establishing and managing a successful business presents a different and unique set of challenges. This guide, authored by veteran civil contractor and consultant Scott Jennings, serves as a practical reference for navigating the complexities of the construction industry. Rather than a comprehensive textbook, it offers targeted insights into key areas such as business formation, licensing, accounting, banking, bonding, operations, and the use of professional services. It also includes executive-level tips for long-term success. A valuable resource for any contractor, this guide is akin to having an experienced advisor at your side.” – Mike Betz, Vice President and District Manager, Nordic PCL Construction
