EP210: How to Build a Profitable Contracting Business – Lessons from Anthony Amunategi

The bidding process presents a hidden issue for the building sector, sapping millions of dollars in income lost without anyone realizing. When contractors bid on jobs, they put in a lot of time, effort, and resources, but most of that work doesn't get paid or noticed. In this episode, Brad and Anthony talk about: How bidding can drain $1.5M from the construction industry. The dangers of unapproved change orders. Why clear documentation can protect contractors. The impact of AI on construction efficiency. Lessons learned from real-life construction failures.
