Start A Home Building Company

The global construction industry is expected to maintain steady growth over the next years. Estimates show that the sector will reach 14.4 trillion in the next decade.

With the increasing population, demand for building new homes continues to grow steadily. With more jobs available, starting a construction company can be a lucrative business. To start a construction company, register the company and acquire all permits and licenses to run a construction company.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a home building company:

1. MPC Builders ($6M/year)

He quickly secured his first client and shifted his focus to becoming a general contractor based on market demand. By promoting open-book management and educating clients, MPC Builders has become a disruptive force in the industry and continues to attract new customers.
