Operating a home building company

[Luke Hayes]

Hello everyone,

I’m a home builder in the Oklahoma metro area, as I have been for just over six years. I’ve built my business slowly since I graduated high school.

Business has grown mostly by referrals over the years and I’ve recently hired a superintendent to help.

I’ve been going through growing pains and learning to work on the business rather than in my business so I’m going over the E-Myth Revisited.

I’d like to better my current process as for systems of communication with my:

superintendent (we have meetings every morning to go over current 9 projects)

Homeowners (custom homes) - keeping them up-to-date with updated cost sheets and scheduling

Subcontractors - keeping them on schedule

If anyone has experience, or really enjoyed their home building process with their own custom builder I’d really like to hear about any proven strategies.

Thanks!
