Michael Day of Elite Contracting Services explains how he runs a highly profitable custom home building company with a lean team of five. By acting as a paper contractor and subcontracting all labor and estimating, he drastically reduces his financial risk and overhead.
Michael breaks down his exact cost-plus pricing strategy, showing how line-itemizing project management labor before adding a 13.5 percent markup protects his margins. He also shares how a surprise three-week jury duty stint forced him to systemize his daily tasks , how he uses a one percent referral program to win custom builds , and his ultimate exit plan to transition the company into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
