Commercial Flooring Academy
$580,000 to $3 million in the same flooring business.
Eric got there by learning to bid commercial work, with the same crew and the same trucks. The bid book that prices those jobs is yours in week one.
He did not quit the trade to sell a course. He is on a job site this week.
Nothing to pay today. You are getting in line, that is all.
Get your spot in line
Costs nothing. Lower numbers get called first.
I had been installing floors for nine years and still could not price a commercial job without guessing. Bid my first one at $64,000 and won it.
The bid book alone was worth it. I was pricing off square footage and nothing else. I was leaving real money on every job and had no idea.

Why good installers keep losing commercial jobs to worse ones
You can put a floor down better than the guy who won the job. That is not what commercial work pays for.
Commercial pays on the bid, the schedule, and the paperwork. Nobody teaches that side, so the best installers keep getting beat by people who price better.
The gap is not skill. It is knowing how the job gets priced and how the money moves.
The part of the business nobody hands you
Every commercial bid comes down to a set of numbers you either know or you guess at. Guess low and you eat it. Guess high and you never hear back.
The bid book is the actual pricing system Eric runs a $3 million a year company on. It is not a blank template you fill in yourself.
You get it in week one, before you have finished a single course.
Eric answers questions himself. I sent him a set of plans on a Tuesday night and had a real answer before I went to bed.
I stopped chasing $4,000 garage floors. Same crew, same trucks, same week of work. The jobs are just bigger now.

Everything you get as a member
Four things, and all four are live from day one. You are not waiting on content to trickle out week by week.
Bidding, takeoffs, materials, running a crew, and getting paid. Watch it from the truck on your phone.
The pricing system Eric runs his own commercial work on, with his real numbers in it. Members only, and it cannot be downloaded or passed around.
A private group with Eric and other contractors chasing the same work. Ask a question at 6 a.m. and get an answer from somebody who has already been there.
Group calls where you bring a real set of plans and leave with a real number.
In summary, here is what you walk away with
A bid you trust
You price commercial work off a real system instead of a gut number. No more eating the difference when you guess low or losing the job when you guess high.
Bigger jobs
Commercial work runs five and six figures. Same crew, same trucks, same week. The jobs are just worth more.
A shorter learning curve
You skip the part where you learn this by losing money on your first four commercial jobs.
One won bid pays for the whole year
Commercial jobs run five and six figures. The work Eric bids sits in the $50,000 to $70,000 range. You do not need this to work ten times. You need it to work once.
What a founding seat gets you
- The bid book in week one, not after twelve modules
- The full training library, start to finish
- The room, with Eric answering questions himself
- Live sessions where you bring real plans and leave with a real number
- First ten members: half off the platform for 90 days
For comparison, ConstructConnect runs about $2,000 a month for three states. It hands you jobs to bid and no idea how to bid them. This is the other half of that, and it costs less.
The first group is capped at 15. That is not a marketing cap. Eric answers questions himself and cannot do that for two hundred people.
Your risk
Month to month. Cancel whenever. The bid book is yours to use on real jobs from week one, so you find out whether it works before you have paid for much of anything.
Nothing to pay today. You are getting in line, that is all.

Frequently asked questions
Pricing is being finalized before the first group opens. Everyone on the waitlist sees the number first, and lower queue numbers get first pick of the seats.
No. That is who it is built for. What it does assume is that you already install floors or coatings. This does not teach you the trade.
Watch the training when you have time, at night or from the truck. The bid book you use on a real job the week you get it.
The pricing system Eric uses on his own commercial work, with his numbers in it. It is not a blank template you fill in yourself.
No. The bidding, the materials, and the way commercial jobs get run are the same anywhere. Eric is in Fort Pierce and works across the state.
The first group opens soon and is capped at 15. The waitlist is how you get in line for it.
No. It runs month to month and you can cancel any time. Joining the waitlist costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
