THE GC PLAYBOOK
The weekly 5-minute read keeping general contractors ahead. Pricing strategies, change order systems, and the business fundamentals that separate contractors who survive from contractors who thrive.
Every Issue Includes
THE BREAKDOWN
One deep dive on a topic that directly affects your bottom line. Change orders, estimating, sub management, cash flow — the stuff that keeps you up at night.
QUICK WIN
A specific tactic you can implement on your next job. Not theory. Something you can do tomorrow morning.
NUMBERS THAT MATTER
Material pricing, labor market data, permit timelines. The numbers that affect how you bid and schedule, updated weekly.
TOOL SPOTLIGHT
One app, product, or workflow worth your time. Honest reviews from someone who's actually used them on a jobsite.
From Recent Issues
“Every time you eat a change order because you didn’t want to ‘rock the boat,’ you’re paying for someone else’s decision. Here’s the exact contract language that one GC used to recover $47K last year—and his clients still love him.”
“The average GC loses between 5% and 15% of total project value to poorly documented change orders. On a $400K job, that’s $20K to $60K walking out the door.”
Built for Contractors Who Run the Job
Whether you’re an owner-operator or managing multiple crews across projects, The GC Playbook covers the business side of general contracting that nobody teaches you. Residential, commercial, or both—the fundamentals are the same.
