The CEOs and co-founders of The Buildsters both came from backgrounds that were originally not hyper focused on construction. John was working for other contractors as a salesman while Derek was getting into his first job out of college.
Being close friends, both Derek and John would always discuss being business owners and making money. One day, John saw an opportunity in the marketplace working for other contractors as a salesman to start making money for himself in a contracting business.
It was then when John realized significant holes in the industry for both contractors and homeowners. John called up Derek that day and said "Derek we need to start a business". The next day, they both quit their jobs and started a landscaping company.
They began making money mowing lawns and building up a pipeline of business. As time went by, Derek and John realized a huge void in the digital space for landscaping and construction. There wasn't much social media presence and many contractors were too old school to even have a conversation about it.
This lead to an idea both Derek and John had: buy a travel trailer and go anywhere people needed them to build a social media presence. The goal was to search who needed help on social media while also documenting and doing jobs while traveling everywhere.
Building a digital platform through their business took The Buildsters next level and in a short amount of time Derek and John went from $0 in revenue to over $4.5 Million in 12 months. They began to create and build a model that allowed them to see double that growth the following year.
Now, they dominate the industry and have disrupted the contracting marketplace with their techniques, strategies, partnerships & suppliers. But their system is a proven solution they know can help your contracting business and contracting career grow without investing $40,000 into those get your license quick schemes that don't hold their value.
