Build To Run
by Michael Trampetti
Build to Run is for the contractor who's still the estimator, the fixer, and the guy everyone calls when a job goes sideways — GCs, specialty contractors, subcontractors, who are tired of being the person their entire company depends on. Mike Trampetti gets into what actually eats up a contractor's week: estimates only the owner can price, jobs that go sideways, teams that can't make decisions, and businesses that stall the second the owner steps away. Some episodes are a problem that already got fixed, told straight. Some are where business owners work through real problems with Mike while the answer is being figured out. No textbook advice. Just honest conversations about building a construction company that can scale without everything running through you. Built to Scale. Wired to Last.
