If you need More Welding or Steel
Fabrication work I know how you can get it
GUARANTEED!
It doesn't matter where you are, these
simple steps will work. How do I know? Because I've done
it.
I started a steel welding business in 1992 by myself,
basically a one man repair shop. After a few years in business,
circumstances exposed me to the construction industry. What I
learned was that there is a never ending supply of work out
there. There is always construction jobs in progress or
bidding, always! I'm talking about shop fabrication of steel
for the construction industry, not necessarily field work. If
you get a certain percentage of the work you bid then the math
is simple. If you want more work, bid more jobs.
I learned the hard way, trial & error over 10 years. From
1996 to 2000 we averaged over 2 million dollars a year in
sales. At one point after looking at different business models
we decided with our overhead etc we should do 400,000 per month
in sales. Well we went to bidding & sold that much work for
2 months in a row. What a mess! We had to stop because we
couldn't handle the work. We put on 3 shifts, Day shift spent
most of the time fixing what the night shift screwed up. Anyway
the point is - getting the steel fabrication work was not
the problem. I know how to do that & am sure I can
help you do it too.
I will email you simple, easy to understand & follow
instructions on how to get work in the steel construction
field. It will tell you:
- How to find bidding jobs
- The basics of bidding
- How to find who to bid to
- How to maintain relationships with
contractors
- How to get access to private jobs most people
don't have a chance to bid
It will also give an overview of the whole process after
award:
- Contract do's & don'ts
- Payment terms
- Shop drawings
- How to buy large amounts of steel with limited
credit (joint check agreements)
- Your Lien rights, both private & public
under the Miller Act
- The best tool you have to insure payment from a
contractor
- How to protect yourself from backcharging steel
erectors
You don't have to have an in house drafting department to
prepare shop drawings. There are guys out there who will do
that for you. I'll give you actual contacts.
You don't have to have inspectors, etc. All of that is usually
subcontracted. If your new to the field what typically happens
is you get too many jobs you bid. Your prices are too low. You
are bidding against guys with inflated overhead. The guys that
make the most money are the guys with the barebones office, no
engineering staff, no sales staff, no computers, nothing. You
really don't need all that. That stuff can sink you because it
has to be fed every month, whether you have work or not. When
those services are subcontracted at a fixed rate that is built
into the job there is money to cover them. All you really need
is a phone and a fax machine.
This is not secret, revolutionary stuff. It's just
the basics. The stuff I wish someone had shared with me. I
give real examples and stories from our own experiences with
our steel welding shop.
If you're not able to increase your sales or you're not
happy with the information I will give you your money
back, no questions asked.
