The Contractor's Corner

---

Twenty Lessons from Thirty Years in the Commercial Trades

by Jamie Flerx

Almost every contractor thinks he has an industry problem. He doesn't. He has a math problem, a systems problem, an operations problem, and a positioning problem — and from where he's standing, all four of them look exactly like an industry problem.

This book is for that contractor. Twenty chapters built in sequence, from the math on up. Margin, not markup. Burden, not wage. Production rates, not feel. Each chapter closes with an action item that builds on the one before. The architecture is deliberate — read in order or lose the leverage.

The trade taught him how to build. Nobody taught him how to price what he built, manage the field against the desk, protect the work with paperwork, or run a business through the seasons. This book is the somewhere else.

The industry isn't going down the drain. It never was. Go build something worth owning.
