Avanni Petras started Petras Homes in April of 2020 and it’s already grown enough he’s been able to upgrade his equipment. We’ll get his tips and secrets in today’s interview.

Avanni Petras didn’t plan for a career as a contractor. He got a part-time job installing concrete foundations while studying nursing in college, and saw it was a profitable industry with a lot of demand. By April 2020, he’d earned his contractor’s license and financed an excavator, and his construction business has been growing since.

Today, we’ll get the inside scoop from Avanni on how to start a construction company from scratch. He’ll share how much it cost to get up and running, what equipment and skills you need to succeed in construction, and how he advertised and marketed to grow his brand identity and bring in his first customers.

We’ll also hear what licensing is required for a construction business and how aspiring entrepreneurs can get the right training, not just to get the license, but to excel in your work after you have it.

Starting a construction business is just the first step. Avanni sees his business as a seed he’s planted, one that needs to be nourished to bear fruit. We’ll find out how he set his company up for consistent growth and what goals he has for the coming business year.
