2.1 million in months 12 through 24. If you're stuck fighting for low-margin garage floors, consistently underbidding just to stay busy, you're not building a business, you're trapped in the race to the bottom. I know. I was there. I was grinding through residential epoxy jobs, competing with every contractor in town, and watching my profits disappear just to keep work coming in.
Then everything changed when I made one decision. I walked away from residential chaos and stepped into commercial industrial bidding. In months 12 through 24, my company generated over 2.1 million in revenue, not because I got better at installing floors, but because I learned how to find real opportunities, read plans, price correctly, and win higher value contracts consistently.
Here's the truth most contractors never hear. There are endless courses teaching you how to install epoxy and polished concrete, but almost none of them teach you how to bid and win large-scale jobs. That's exactly why I built this community.
Inside this platform, I'm going to break down the exact systems I used to transform into the commercial work: how to find projects before your competitors, how to read blueprints without confusion, how to estimate with confidence, and how to build relationships that turn into repeat contracts.
This isn't theory. This is the same process that took me from chasing garage floors to building a million-dollar company. If you're done competing on price and ready to step into the commercial industrial work, you're in the right place. Join the community, invest in yourself, and let's build something bigger together. I'll see you on the inside.

Why good installers keep losing commercial jobs to worse ones
You can put a floor down better than the guy who won the job. Commercial work does not pay for that. It pays on the bid, the schedule, and the paperwork, and nobody teaches that side.
Every commercial bid comes down to numbers you either know or guess at. Guess low and you eat it. Guess high and you never hear back.
You already have the skill. The gap is knowing how the job gets priced and how the money moves.
The Bid Book
This is the pricing system Eric uses to run his $3 million a year company, with his real numbers in it. Members get it in week one. You can also get it on its own for $199 a month.
See the Bid BookEverything a member gets
Four things, and you get all four the day your seat opens. Nothing is drip fed to you a week at a time.
What you walk away with
A bid you trust
You price commercial work off a real system instead of a gut number, so you are not eating the difference on a bid you guessed at.
Bigger jobs
Commercial work runs five and six figures. You keep the install skills you already have and learn to find and price work that size.
You skip the expensive part
You skip the part where you learn this by losing money on your first four commercial jobs.
Learn to bid the jobs Eric bids
The work Eric bids sits in the $50,000 to $70,000 range. Nobody can promise you will win one. What you get is the system he prices those jobs with, plus two bid reviews a month while you learn it.
