EPISODE Notes

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.

About Your Hosts

Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.

This is not your fault.

You can be the best builder in the world but trade school doesn’t teach you how to run a business.

This is why we created The Professional Builder.

Gaining control over your business doesn’t need to be hard.

Our proven systems have been used by 5,000+ builders from New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Canada, and all around the world to get back their freedom.
