The Home Plans With Cost To Build industry is quite unique, and perhaps one of the easiest ways to explain what I mean is to consider that almost every new building project is a one-off or prototype. Even if you use the same floor plan, there is something different, very seldom are you building with a cookie cutter mentality, and even when you are and you try to systematize everything there are always changes – soil, directional facing, seasonal weather, drainage, customer changes, regulatory rules, and regional variations – okay so let’s talk shall we?
When I first started franchising my company (car wash sector) I had hired a consultant, who had been with Midas Muffler in the early days from their $100,000 initial capital start-up to 500 units. He told me of another company, an oil change company with pre-fab buildings, literally a plug-and-play strategy, every building exactly the same, all they needed was a place to plop it down. You’d think that this would be one of the simplest things to do, a turn-key business in very regard, well you wish my friend, and just consider some of what I’d mentioned above.
And mind you, that company had prefab buildings and the entire concept was built on the premise that everything would always be the same, but it never actually was. In one city or county the building permits might require modification because of a local ordinance, or a different type of landscaping out front, or an additional sound wall, or additional walls so no one could see any work being done at any time on automobiles. If you think these things can’t happen, they’ve happened to me before.
Now consider a local construction company with all sorts of different clientele, nothing is ever the same, every single new building project is different. You might think that building tract homes would be a place where the proverbial cookie cutter syndrome could actually take place. Of course, there are always lots facing different ways, the sun coming up on a different side, corner lots, and curved streets. Nothing is ever really the same. Sure, you can force it, but even two identical twins are slightly different, that’s all I’m saying here.
Indeed, maybe that’s a good thing because it keeps the Building Contractor Meaning In Tamil industry on its toes, and keeps our society from looking like a communist camp or the land of the Borg. It’s what makes it fun, exciting, and a new challenge each and every day. If you’re going to run a construction company you better be good at solving problems and regional variation. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
