As some of you may know, our Property Preservation repair business currently does $2+ million worth of Property Preservation repair work each year. Our office/ management work is efficiently taken care of by 1 full time and 2 part time employees and then we outsource 100% of all the actual repair work to our network of subcontractors.
This is not the management system I initially started out with. Like most small construction businesses, I was wearing several hats - hell, when I first started I wore ALL the hats: owner-operator/ accountant/ inspector/ estimator/ contractor/ subcontractor liaison/ babysitter/ etc. Many years later, I realize that type of business management where the owner does everything, is a recipe for failure.
