~150,000 SF of triple net flex space. This market is emerging, and still fragmented. Competition is weak. Retail is overrated. You can cut construction cost in half building metal light industrial spaces and still rent them easier than retail. The key is overhead roll up…

I’ve been developing giga-sized luxury metal homes while commercial projects permit. It’s quite the side hustle… One tip for these is to use exposed concrete floors. Much cheaper to build, and it’s definitely a desirable option by some. Heavy machine trowel finish, saw cut…

Bonus tip: COVER YOUR ANCHOR BOLTS AFTER POURING. When I see exposed bolts it’s a sad day. Prevent rust to make the erection smooth. I prefer taping water bottles to them, duct tape alone gets kinda sticky on the threads. WD-40 is your friend.

Don’t be afraid of asphalt. This driveway was $30k for 10,000 SF. It would have been $60k using concrete.

Going to Teton Village in Jackson Hole Wyoming soon. Anyone been? What do you recommend!

I like big metal mansions and I cannot lie…

Commercial tenants are the best because they aren’t renting as a primary residence, they are renting for their business, that can afford the costs. Completely different type of person than residential tenants.

“Play long-term games with long-term people. All returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.” -@naval This is why I develop commercial. Doesn’t get any longer than that. And like, where are we gonna go… we know where each…

When buying commercial land for small bay industrial, look for these things: 1. 5 minute drive from Walmart or other big box retail 2. Multiple lanes adjacent to the property, with frontage 3. Outside the city limits, inside the city county. (unless you like making your life…

2 tax deductions, 1 picture. This is a “Feller Buncher”. Pretty much The Lorax in real life… However, if you are clearing more than a few acres of large trees, this is the best way. By using this machine, a logging company will actually pay you for the lumber.

Everyone, I AM alive!! I’ve been recovering from my traumatic brain injury the last 4 weeks. It really sucked, but we are feeling way better now. I think I’m ready to continue sharing development and construction content.

Anxiety of anchor bolt placement is healthy

Knocked my head pretty good driving a skid steer a few days ago. Mild concussion and a good reminder that the stuff we do is no joke. Thankfully I’m okay. I’ll be back after resting a little more.

men I do trust -drinks monster (at least 2 cans 32 oz before lunch) -smokes cigarettes the ENTIRE time he is operating skid steer -Says “ain’t going nowhere” immediately after ratcheting -Has a laser level on him at all times -yellow and red tools -asks “let me see the plans”…

men I do not trust -men who don’t say “ain’t going nowhere” after ratcheting -men who stand downwind from the concrete cutter just to watch -men who use religion to raise money -men who drive a $500 car but want a loan for $5m -men who can’t read plans -men who don’t have a…

Love the display name, you are in the right place sir 👍 For weld-up i get the raw materials like I-beams etc and then we cut them and weld them and bolt them as needed to be structurally sound and match the design intention and so on. Bolt up is basically plug and play, the…

Another day, another 10,000 SF. This is what we call “weld up”. I fabricate on-site for smaller projects like this. Ask me anything.
