EP292: Why Contractors Keep Facing the Same Problems and How to Fix it Once

Épisode 292

lundi 12 octobre 2026 • Durée 35:56

Why do contractors keep facing the same problems, even after they've tried to fix them?

Brad breaks down why so many contractors become trapped in a cycle of constant firefighting, trying to run their businesses out of their heads, and struggling to get their teams to work independently. Without documented processes, clear standards, and repeatable systems, business growth can create even more chaos.

In this episode, Brad talks about:

Why contractors keep solving the same business problems
The difference between fixing symptoms and solving root causes
How job costing reveals problems that hurt profitability
When to create SOPs, checklists, rules, and automated processes
How poor communication and handoffs create recurring mistakes
Why contractors need to stop being the solution to everything
How to empower employees to think critically and solve problems
Why you should prioritize major problems before smaller ones
How to build a process-driven construction business
How solving one recurring problem each week can transform your business

If you're tired of constantly putting out fires, working long hours, and answering every question your team brings to you, this episode will help you start building a business that runs on systems instead of depending on you for every solution.

EP286: How Contractors Can Calculate True Labor Costs and Boost Profits

Épisode 286

lundi 31 août 2026 • Durée 24:03

If you’re paying an employee $30 an hour, they don’t actually cost your construction business $30 an hour.

In this episode of the Hammer & Grind Podcast, Brad Huebner breaks down how contractors can calculate their true labor costs and use the right labor burden rate to protect their profit margins. Your employee’s hourly wage is only one part of the total cost. Payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, employee benefits, paid time off, training, meetings, and other non-productive paid hours can significantly increase what that employee actually costs your business.

You’ll learn how to:

Calculate your true labor burden rate
Separate employee wages from total labor costs
Account for payroll taxes and workers’ compensation
Factor in employee benefits and other direct labor costs
Calculate the cost of non-productive paid time
Determine your true cost per productive hour
Understand the difference between markup and gross profit margin
Avoid underpricing labor on construction estimates
Identify hidden labor-related profit leaks
Price your labor correctly across multiple employees and crews

If you’re a contractor who wants better construction estimating, stronger profit margins, and a clearer understanding of what your employees actually cost your business, this episode is a must-listen.

Get the Labor Burden Worksheet:

Use the worksheet to calculate your labor burden rate and understand your true labor cost per hour, day, week, month, and year. The worksheet can also help you calculate costs for different employee teams and crews.

Épisode 285

lundi 24 août 2026 • Durée 42:31

What if your contracting business is losing money before your crew ever steps onto the job site? A job doesn’t always become unprofitable during production. Sometimes, the profit was already gone the moment you sold it.

In this episode, Brad talks about:

The importance of accurate job costing
Common estimating mistakes: guessing labor and material costs
Understanding true labor burden rates
The impact of non-productive time on project timelines
The dangers of pricing based on competition
The necessity of a clear scope of work
Strategies to avoid discounting correct estimates

EP283: Stop Making Short-Term Decisions That Kill Your Construction Business

Épisode 283

lundi 10 août 2026 • Durée 25:02

Your next decision could make or break your construction business. Lower prices. Take every job. Avoid the hard conversation. Sound familiar? These short term decisions can quietly hurt your profit, growth, and freedom.

In this episode, Brad talks about:

Every decision shapes your future: building the life you want vs. escaping the one you don’t.
Stop optimizing for immediate comfort; think long-term.
The importance of making decisions that buy freedom rather than steal from your future.
The three decision filters:

Does this move me closer to my goals?
Can this be done better, faster, or simpler?
Does this decision buy freedom or steal from my future?
