Whether you're contemplating a career in Hardscape/Landscaping or Renovations or you already have a business in motion, the most difficult part of this career/business is maintaining sustainability. It starts with knowledge and knowing your numbers and bottom line!

This course has been structured to fundamentally teach, and for some of you, review standard construction materials and labor knowledge and application to be able to manage or operate a successful, wealthy and healthy company.

This course will teach the necessary skills in every aspect of your projects in order to be successful from start to finish and beyond. Most importantly, you're going to learn how to properly estimate and quote a project in minutes, using our own custom made, Pro-Fit Estimator Dashboard.

With over 20 years of experience as an owner of a Hardscape and Renovation construction company myself, and still going strong, I've applied my skills and knowledge into a course to teach "project estimating/quoting" in order to allow more peers on the playing field, a greater advantage for financial success.

Financial Success is achieved by creating a profit. The definition of profit is not determined by how much money might be left over once a project is completed, profit is determined prior to taking on a project that you have quoted, sold and finished. Profit is to be determined by a number of variables. These variables can only be realized by taking professional steps to determine your business overhead budget, your project time and costs of labor, cost of materials, all combined to enable and create a proper, suggested proposal.

The question to really ask is, "What Must Be" my suggested proposal amount"? or (what should I be charging?)

At the end of this course, you will be empowered with the knowledge of construction terms and a high standard of materials and labor application, along with a knowledgeable and professional standard on superior estimating and a means on mastering a profit, making for a healthy and successful business or career.
