Build a Team
It is important to build a team of people that you trust and can rely on. They can be in the field working on your jobs or they can be sub contractors that you can call up when you need their services.

Manage Your Business, but Lead Your People
Building a great team will help you succeed as a contractor. Creating a culture where everyone works together to achieve a common goal is essential to the success of any business.
Save Money
If you’re not careful, you can easily overspend on a variety of things in your construction business. Whether you’re paying a software subscription or an extra $900 for a sub-contractor crime scene cleanup, taking the time to evaluate your expenses each month can help you save a lot of cash.
