Hi There, I’m Nicholas And What You Are Looking At Is A Roller Coaster

Now, You May Be Wondering How A Picture Of A Roller Coaster Relates To Your Success As A Contractor

When You Are At An Amusement Park, Roller Coaster Rides Are Exciting, Fun And Scary

When The Results From Your Jobs Are Like A Roller Coaster Ride

It Is NOT Fun…

 

It’s Just Heart Pumping, Nerve Shattering… Scary!

 

You Are NOT Alone

Many Small To Medium Sized Contractors…

Experience This On A Regular Basis

There Is A Solution

And I’m Going To Share It With You Today…

I’m Going To Share 3 Tips With You That Will…

Put You On A Path To Consistent Profits…

And Get You Off The Roller Coaster.

I’ll Get To Them In A Minute, But First…

My Name Is Nicholas Hurd

And I’ve Developed The Tips I’m About To Share With You…

From Talking With Thousands Of Contractors Over The Last 20 Years

Some Of Them Successful… And Some, Not So Much.

The Tips You Are Going To Get Are Based On…

What The Most Successful Contractors Do…

To Make Consistent Profits, Job After Job

I’m Sure You Would Like To Do That Too, Right?

One More Thing Before I Give You The Tips…

I Don’t Know How Long This Presentation Will Be Available…

Be Prepared To Take Notes.

The First Tip I’m Going To Share Is…

Don’t Eyeball Your Takeoffs

A Wall That’s “About 10 Feet” Could Be 9 Feet or 11 Feet…

Maybe Even 12…

That’s No Way To Start Your Estimate!

Can You See How That Could Affect Your Estimates?

Accurate Measurements Are The First Step In Producing Accurate, Money Making Estimates

Would You Feel More Confident In Your Estimates If You Were Starting With Accurate Takeoffs?

The Second Tip I’m Going To Share With You Is…

Organize Your Estimates…

Into Sections (or Tasks), Like: Foundations, Framing, Roofing, Etc.

As You Are Doing Your Estimate, Only Do One Section At A Time Because…

You Will Eliminate Duplicate Or Missing Items In Your Estimate

And That Means You Have A More Accurate, Profit Making Estimate

And That’s What You Want, Isn’t It?

You Are Going To Find That This Next Tip I’m Sharing With You Is Crucial To Accurate, Profitable Estimates

You Must Estimate Using Measurable Units…

You May Be Asking, “What Does That Mean?”

It Means That Everything You Do Must Be Measurable…

For Example…

If You Are Estimating An Interior Wall, You Must Have Your Costs

For Materials and Labor

In Linear Feet or Square Feet. This can, of course, be metric as well…

So, If You Cost Per Linear Foot is $3.25, for Example…

Your Cost For A 10 Foot Wall Would Be 32.50 and…

A 15 Foot Wall Would Be $48.75

And So On.

You Can See How Having Accurate Measurable Units Will Improve Your Profits, Right?

Here’s A Bonus Tip You Will Find Is The Most Powerful Tip Of All…

Without This One The Other Tips Don’t Matter…

And You’ll Stay On The Roller Coaster

And, You Don’t Want That, Right?

Tracking The Costs Of Your Job To Your Estimate Is Crucial!

The Only Way You Know Your Estimate Is Accurate Is If You Measure Your Results

When You Find Something That Isn’t What You Thought It Should Be…

You Change Your Costs…

So You Get It Right For The Next Estimate

Imagine How It Will Feel When You Get Off The Roller Coaster And Start Making Money Consistently, Job After Job!

Before, You Were On The Roller Coaster Because You Didn’t Have These Tools

It Wasn’t Your Fault That You Weren’t Making Money Consistently

Now That You Have These Tools And This Information…

It’s Your Responsibility…

To Take Action And Implement These Tools In Your Business…

Assuming You Want To Get Off The Roller Coaster

You Can Take The Time And Effort To Implement These Tools On Your Own…

Or…

You Can Take The Road That Thousands Of Other Contractors Have Taken

Introducing…

The Contractor’s Profit System™ with LiteningFast™ Estimating

The Proven Estimating System that Allows You to Estimate Quickly, Track Costs Easily and Make Money Consistently

I’ll Tell You More About That In A Minute, But First . . .

My Name is Nicholas Hurd And I’m The Developer Of The Contractor’s Profit System

I’ve Been Working With Contractors, In Every Trade You Can Imagine, Since 1977

I Launched Litening Software in 1994

And, since then, over 4,000 copies of The Contractor’s Profit system have been sold

I’ve Helped Thousands Of Contractors, Like You, Go From…

Struggling To Make Money Consistently

To Successful Contractors, Making Money Job After Job!

Here’s what You need to know about

The Contractor’s Profit System

Your Estimates Will Be Organized

That’s Because Everything Is Done By Sections…

Sections Are Groups Items, Like Foundations, Framing, Roofing, Etc.

Sections Make It Easier For You And More Accurate For Your Estimating

Easier For You Because When You Are Doing A Takeoff

You’re Only Looking At Details That are Related To The Section You’re Working On…

Like Framing Items When You Are Working On The Framing Section…

And, More Accurate…

Because You Are Less Likely To Add And…

You Can Easily Find…

Duplicate Or Missing Items Within A Section

This Reduces Your Aggravation And Frustration Because…

You Aren’t Looking At A Huge Random Detail List Of Hundreds Or Thousands Of Items

Imagine How It Would Feel To Be Unruffled When You Are Completing An Estimate.

Your Estimates Will Be Accurate Because…

All Items Are Based On A Cost Per Unit, Like Cost Per Linear Foot, Square Foot, Etc.

This Means You Are Not Guesstimating What It Will Take To Do The Job…

You Are Estimating It!

This Is The ONLY Way You Can Estimate The Same Job…

And Get Exactly The Same Result, Time After Time!

It’s Also The ONLY Way You Can Measure The Results Of Your Estimates…

And Make Any Adjustments You Need For Your Next Estimate

Picture How Confident You Are As You Present Your Estimate To Your Prospect…

Knowing Your Estimate Is Accurate And Will Be Profitable.

You Will Find That Your Prospects Love The Detailed Estimates You Present Because . . .

They Can See Exactly What They Are Getting For Their Money And How You Arrived At The Pricing

Nothing Is Unclear

And, Detailed Estimates Save You Hassle And Aggravation Because…

If It’s Not In The Estimate, It’s Not Part Of The Job

And That Means Change Orders Rather Than Give Aways Or Disputes Over What’s Included

Another Stunning Thing That Will Make Your Estimating Blazing Fast…

Are Templates

You Can Build Templates For the Types Of Work You Do Frequently Like Bath or Kitchen Remodels

When You Have A Similar Job, All You Have To Do Is Select The Template…

Modify The Quantities…

Delete Unneeded Items…

And, You’re Done

One Of My Clients Estimated A $150,000 Room Addition In About An Hour From A Template…

Was Thanked By The Prospect For A Detailed Estimate…

And Got The Job!

That’s The Power Of Templates

Think How You Would Feel Creating Accurate, Job Getting, Money Making Estimates In Just Minutes

Continuing The Thought Of Estimating Faster And Accurately…

Another Power Tool You’ll find Is Assemblies.

Assemblies Are Groups Of Materials And Labor You Use Together Frequently

A Wall Assembly Would Include, For Example:

Studs, Top And Bottom Plate, Drywall, Taping, Etc. And The Labor to Build It.

One Takeoff Entry Gets All The Materials And Labor For The Entire Wall

Because You Are Getting All The Materials And Labor From One Entry…

Your Estimate Will Be More Accurate Than Making A Dozen Or More Entries To Get All Of The Items, And…

You Save Time By Finding One Item Rather Than A Dozen Or More.

I’m Sure You Can See How That Would Be More Accurate And Save You Time, Right?

When Your Prospect Has Accepted Your Proposal And You Are Going To Start Working On The Job…

It’s Time To Think About Tracking The Actual Costs For The Job…

One Button Click And You Create Your Budgets In QuickBooks®

QuickBooks Supports You In Tracking Your Costs As You Pay Your Bills and Make Your Payroll

The Contractor’s Profit System Along With QuickBooks Make It Easy To Track Your Costs

Job cost reports in QuickBooks let you to quickly identify areas of the job where you may have problems

They Become Huge, Budget Busting Quagmires?

Here’s What Our Users Have to Say About The Contractor’s Profit System with LiteningFast Estimating Product Review – The Journal of Light Construction “Simple to Learn and Use” “LiteningFast is an inexpensive off-the-shelf program that’s simple to learn and use. Better yet, it links to QuickBooks, another inexpensive off-the-shelf program that’s simple to learn and use. That makes it a hit in my book.” The Journal Of Light Construction Product Review – Brian Beachner “My Profit Margins Will Definitely Improve!” “I just wanted to say that I really like this program. I just finished my first large estimate for adding a shed dormer and remodel the bathroom under it. It was very eye opening to me where my dollars were flying out of the window on my hand written estimates. My profit margins will definitely improve!” Brian Beachner Sunny Days Painting and Home Services, LLC Rochester, NY   Product Review – Brian Kauffmann “An Hour to Put Together a $150,000 Addition” “We have been using LiteningFast since 1997 and I can tell you that it paid for itself on the first job. I am not great on computers yet this is so easy to use. The two best things this program has offered us is to help our customers gain trust and confidence in us and to also protect ourselves from having to give our customers any extras without getting paid for them. With the easy to generate detailed estimate we now incorporate our estimate with our contract so it takes all the guessing and assuming out of the equation. If it’s not on the detailed estimate then we didn’t charge you for it therefore we need to generate a change order. The second thing is our customers love it. When we bid against other contractors who come in with this lump sum price that sometimes leaves them sticker shocked we come in with this estimate that’s broken down in every aspect of construction and they can see how we arrived at this lump sum price rather than something we just pulled out of the air. Our customers are impressed and feel like they can actually see what they are getting for their money before we even start. The best thing is they thank me for spending so much time to give them such a detailed estimate when it has really only taken me an hour to put together a 150k addition. Thanks Nick!!!!!” Brian Kauffmann Kauffman Contracting Seberna Park, MD   Product Review – Michael Cramer “If You Need to Get Up and Running This Week… Get LiteningFast” “Although I have been a carpenter and a contractor for 24 years, it has only been 9 years since I began ‘computerizing’ my trade in business. If you are like 85% of construction outfits in this country (5 employees or less) you know that there just isn’t the time or the money to learn a new way to do something you’ve been doing all your life. Litening Estimating is simply the most efficient estimating program available today. I’ve worked with 5 other programs over the past 6 years and they have proved more cumbersome and limited than Litening. Now the deeper integration with QuickBooks Pro makes this program the only choice for REAL Contractors. If you’re a big-spending schmoozer who has somebody else estimate your jobs, you might be impressed by one of the high-dollar “suites” with bells and whistles you’ll never get to toot. I’ve worked with two of them myself. Grief. But if you need to get up and running this week and you want an estimating program that can grow with you and be customized to do things your way, get LiteningFast. Here’s the nutshell version: * Ready-made categories or create your own, or both. * Smooth accounting integration with QuickBooks Pro (the best). * NICE presentation printouts, Customizable in Word or Excel. * WAY Cost effective with Time efficient implementation. * Personal communication for support with the developer. * Almost totally customizable for doing things your way. I started using this program with Version 4 nearly 5 years ago, and experimented with more complex systems thinking I could do better. Forget it. Now Version 6 is cleaner and more versatile than ever. I have spoken with Nick, the developer, personally on many occasions by phone to resolve issues or understand the program better. Unheard of. Well worth the small investment. Thanks Nick.” Michael Cramer Cramer Construction Concepts Coure d’Alene, ID   Product Review – Paul L. Crouch “Because the application is highly customizable, I can fit it to my environment” “Just a quick note to let you know how you are doing! I’m working through the getting started guide and I’m very impressed with the writing style. It’s very easy and is an immense help with shortening the learning curve. Because the application is highly customizable, I can fit it to my environment. Now I can create estimates that make sense to me and I don’t have to work the way someone else wants me too. I’m especially impressed with your company procedures. I called and after 1 ring I had someone on the phone. No navigating through menu’s to reach someone I don’t know. It was really a pleasure to talk to the person I reached (sorry, I didn’t get his name) because he didn’t talk down to me. After I bought the software, I got a call thanking me for my purchase. Funny, I’ve spent a bunch of money at Microsoft and never got a thank you. It really means a lot.” Paul L. Crouch Los Angeles, CA   Product Review – Dennis Tharrington “The Estimate Will be Dead on Target” “I think your program is absolutely terrific. It is exactly what I needed to help me produce good estimates. With your program I don’t have to hire an estimator, I can do it myself in just 15-30 minutes… a 1200-1600 square foot house. And the estimate will be dead on target I figured my first job with your program. I let my framer also figure the materials. He’s been in the business for 35 years. The two estimates were so close… it was unreal!” Dennis Tharrington First Home Builders, Inc. Henderson, NC   Product Review – Sal Versaggi “There Just Isn’t Anything Better for the Small to Medium Size Contractor” “I’ve been a LiteningFast user since ’94 and have been very happy with your software. I’ve done hundreds of estimates over the years. LiteningFast is easy to use and talks to every software I use in my business. Every once in a while I look around to see if I can find another software that might be better. There just isn’t anything better for the small to medium size contractor. I’m proud to say that LiteningFast is still the best, and you just keep making it better.” Keep up the good work!” Sal Versaggi Versaggi Construction Sonoma, CA   Product Review – The Journal of Light Construction “LiteningFast Does What You Expect” “LiteningFast does what you expect it to do without requiring much effort on the part of the user.” The Journal Of Light Construction   Product Review – Ron Christianson “LiteningFast Has Helped Me Stay In the Black” “Being a busy contractor, I needed a program that is quick, easy to learn and operate. With LiteningFast I got all that and more. My customers like the estimate reports and I like it working with QuickBooks Pro, my accounting program. LiteningFast has helped me stay in the black and look more professional.” Ron Christianson ON-SITE Construction Auburn, WA   Product Review – Ben Hill “We Were Able to do Estimates Almost Immediately” “Just a note to say ‘thanks’ for writing LiteningFast!! We have been using it for several years and have become very attached to it because of it’s dependability and ease of use. The program is so very simple to learn to use, that we were able to do estimates almost immediately. The fact that estimates and budgets may be imported into QuickBooks is a feature that allows tracking to keep us on our cost track. If you can write a check, you can track your job. Also, I want to thank you for the outstanding support that you give to your software. It is second to none. You have always been ready and willing to help a customer” Ben Hill Ben Hill Builders, Inc. Auburn, AL
