Most people rely on one stream and call it security. It’s not, it’s dependency. You don’t need to quit your job. You need to layer a quiet income stream that works with what you already do. Your skills. Your time. Your network. All underused. The ones winning aren’t starting over they’re stacking smart, low-noise income channels beside their main income. So be honest… If your income stopped today, what would actually keep you afloat?

Everybody is obviously very aware of how much costs are going up. Diesel, copper, aluminium are all up between 20-30% So what can you actually do about it? Well there are different options depending whether its pre-contract or post contract. Pre-contract, you should always have an escalation clause in your contracts and go back-to-back with subcontractors Post-contract you need to check what the T&Cs are in your head-contract and whether you can claim escalation. And for your sub-contractors, same principle I go into it in more detail in this video

I'm keen to hear who everybody is, and what their goals are I assume you already know who I am. But if you don't I'm Tim. I worked for 8 years for big contractors on road, rail, renewable energy projects. I've always worked for head-contractors. I recently worked for some smaller contractors as a consultant when I left my job doing estimating and contract management. It was good, but I found it hard to see a path to scale (other than just starting a contracting business myself) So I instead decided to build software, and found that that's 100x harder than I thought and a very easy way to lose money

Been working in construction and figured I’d share what I learn along the way.
