What People Are Saying


This guy really knows the building biz!

Great Manual! I now know how to do this business!  Thanks.

Fred, your instructions on how to build the doors are ingenious. Best idea I've ever seen.

I'm glad I bought your manual!  I had planned to start a business like this and I would have spent a lot more than necessary. You have saved me a lot of money.

Killer manual!  Great plan!

 

 

   

                


 


 

Big Money in Small Buildings is a complete guide for starting your own portable building business. It guides you through shop setup, installation procedures, and marketing. It provides you with plans, cut-sheets and instructions for 35 different buildings. This is a comprehensive operation manual that could save you thousands in your operations and start-up costs.

We're talking about small buildings, small tools, small trucks… but make no mistake about it, we’re talking about BIG money.

I started a portable building business on an absolute shoestring budget and grew that company to servicing an area that encompassed three states in less than a year. My small company showed a net operating profit in the first month of operation. I sold that company two years later to a friend of mine who is now servicing twelve major cities and scores of small towns in five different states. What I teach in this guide works. It is not pie-in-the-sky. I've done it, and so can you.

Ken Hopf is off to a fast start with his shed business. He's already built over 20 sheds and says his business is growing at a rapid pace.

You can start Small and GROW !

If you really want your own business -- one where you can start small, but have unlimited growth, then this is a real business worth pursuing.  This is not a franchise, not a dealership, no fees to pay -- nothing of that sort. It is one-time purchase of $89 for my manual that gets down to it, and teaches you how to do this business.  And it's your business -- no royalty fees to pay ever. 

 I was in the construction business for 25 years. My experience in running a shed business can save you thousands in startup and operating costs. The marketing plan included in the manual teaches you what you need know, from how to get sales to shop setup to cleaning up after the job.

 

Huge Market!

Millions of homeowners dream of a backyard shed like this one. The potential business is incredible. Get your share! Order our manual today and get off to a fast start! We cover everything in the manual about how start and run your business.

Here's what you get:

  • Professional Plans for both models in all sizes. (35 different units)

  • How to use the "Dealer Method" to leapfrog your sales.

  • Material Lists/Cut-Sheets for each building.

  • Marketing Tips

  • Copies of actual ads that I've ran.

  • Copy of brochures that I used.

  • How to set up your shop.

  • Where to set up your shop.

  • How to Assemble buildings in the field.

  • Numerous drawings and pictures to ease construction.

  • Much more...

Bonus Nr. 1 You'll also be able to download a Materials Cost Excel Spreadsheet that will calculate the exact material costs on every building. This spreadsheet has over 1200 imbedded formulas and is so very easy to use. There's a short list of materials that you can update periodically from your local lumberyard and the spreadsheet will instantly calculate the materials for each of the 35 different buildings. You never have to guess what your costs are.

Bonus Nr. 2  I've also added a payroll spreadsheet for those starting-out contractors who want to keep life simple. No fancy programs to learn, just an easy-to-use spreadsheet to keep up with the payroll expenses. I've tweaked this spreadsheet for years and think it's perhaps the very best method of handling payroll for a small-timer with up to 8 employees.

If you've ever wanted your own construction company this is a blueprint for success, and without having to spend a fortune to get started. I've seen some companies open with a bang. Having a large budget they could build many models, set up a big shop, and employ dozens of people. I also know of one guy who started in his backyard with minimal tools and worked only on weekends. He grew his business to a huge success and now has a full-time operations superintendent and business manager. 

 

My Plan REALLY Works...

Richard Followed My Advice - Read What Happened

Dear Fred,

I just wanted to take a moment and personally thank you for all the information in your manual.

This month I passed the $100,000 level in sales. My best month yet. And I am excited!

When I started this business a year and a half ago, it was just me and a laborer working out of my Dad's barn. 

Now I have my own shop and have 4 installation crews running. We are building 18 to 20 buildings per week.  My dealer network has now grown to where we don't have to worry about sales. They just keep coming.

I've been able to keep my overhead down and my margins up.  The cost of materials is just over 35% and labor is running about 32%.  My gross profit last month, after paying for materials and labor, was over $31,000.  Then after my shop rent, advertising, and other expenses, I wrote myself a check for $24,000.  I've never made that kind of money in my life.  There really is Big Money in Small Buildings.

Sincerely,

Richard Wisner

 

Can you start this business without buying this manual? Probably. That is if you know a lot about building, marketing, and running a company. But you'd have to sit down and design your products, debug them, hire a draftsman to draw the plans which could cost you close to $1500.  And then you may have to have them re-drawn to fix all the errors. You could spend days working up the cut-sheets and material lists. And then you'd face the daunting task of trial-and-error management. For only $89 this manual will provide you with everything you need to know and will save you thousands in setting up and running your business.  

I guarantee it.  Here's my offer to you: When you buy this manual and review it I know you'll be thrilled. But if you aren't, for any reason whatsoever, just return it to me in good shape within 30 days and I'll give you back your money with no questions asked. Promise. I've never had a dissatisfied customer and don't want to start now. Try me out and you'll see that this information can set you on the road to success with your own construction company.
