Business Help for General Contractors

Who Dr. Paul Helps: General Contractors

Dr. Paul Borosky, Business Consultant, helps general contractors organize, plan, and grow the business side with Dr. Paul’s Organize-Plan-Grow™ Strategy. On site or via Zoom. He travels.

Picture This

Sound Like Your Week?

You have four jobs running. A sub didn’t show at the Miller remodel. The homeowner added a pantry by text, and nobody wrote up a change order. The draw is late, payroll is Friday, and you have three estimates due. You start them at 10 p.m.

That’s not a bad contractor. That’s a business that outgrew the owner’s memory.

The Real Challenges

Where the Business Side Breaks Down

It’s rarely one big problem. It’s a stack of small ones nobody has time to sort out.

Bids built on guesses
No job costing until it’s too late
Change orders done by text, never billed
Cash gaps between draws
Subs who don’t show
You do every estimate
Too many jobs at once
No idea which jobs make the most money
No clear project manager

Job costing tracks what a job actually costs, labor, materials, subs, and extras, against what you bid. It tells you which jobs make money, so the next bid is better.

How do I get paid for change orders?

Put them in writing before the work starts, with a price and a signature. Dr. Paul helps you build a simple change order process your crew will actually use.

Can Dr. Paul work on site with my team?

Yes. Dr. Paul works on site, in your office and on your jobs, when it helps. He travels. Zoom fills in when it fits.

Do you work with remodelers and specialty trades?

Yes. Remodelers, builders, and specialty contractors. The system is the same. The details come from your business.
