Construction Business Plan

Start your own construction business plan

Fosse Commercial Contractors LLC

Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">, opportunity.

Customers in the Houston area are in need of beautiful office buildings, warehouses, public works etc. The area is expanding rapidly and they need a company that can provide high quality work and materials to build the spaces that were needed.

Fosse Commercial Contractors (FCC) strives to offer the finest quality design, site preparation, cost estimates, construction, repair, and alteration to clients needing large scale construction services, whether it be office buildings, warehouses, large apartment complexes, public works, etc. Fosse maintains the highest standards of service in the commercial construction industry.

The Houston area is booming at this moment, business has grown in the area for the last few years and is expected to continue for at least the next four years. This makes for a very attractive market for Fosse Commercial Contractors.

We will be concentrating on the customers that will provide us with the greatest margin, in other words those clients desiring office building construction. This is the fastest growing segment of commercial clients requiring our services. The other categories that we will serve include the restaurant segment, the special facilities segment, and all other potential commercial clients.

Competition

Currently we have three major competitors within the Houston area. These are TNT General Contractors, Texas Specialty Construction, and Polanski Construction. Each of these companies targets the same clients as Fosse and each has a fine reputation for customer satisfaction. However, the market in Houston is growing so fast that the demand is currently greater than supply. This is an excellent opportunity to gain market share and a defensible position in the industry.

In the construction industry the primary ways to compete are through low cost or better project management. One of the most important processes for winning a contract is the bid process. Fosse has a unique competitive edge over most of its competitors. Mr. David West, FCC’s General Projects Manager, is the nephew of Charles Nunn, who owns McHoughton’s Lumber, one of the Midwest’s major construction material suppliers. Through this relationship, Fosse has been able to gain a very advantageous supplier contract allowing Fosse to obtain its materials at a significant discount. With this edge the company can underbid its rivals and achieve a low cost leadership role.

Expectations

Fosse has only a small amount of debt and intends to stay that way. We expect to see increased profits from our market shift efforts by the end of Year 2. Over the next three years we expect lower profits as we make inroads into this tough market. We estimate that we will be able to reduce marginal costs and increase overall profitability by Year 3 or Year 4 as we grow and take advantages of economies of scale.

We also think we can grow. For this next year we intend to significantly increase overall revenues to close to $900K, from $572K this past year. We have the market, the people, and the capabilities. It’s time to grow.

However, growth is expensive. We are prepared to inject new capital to support losses for most of this first year. We can turn a profit for years 2 and 3.

This should include potential market size and target customers, the services or products you will offer, pricing strategies and a detailed financial forecast.  

2. Choose Your Legal Structure - It's important to select an appropriate legal entity for your construction business. This could be a limited liability company (LLC), corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks so it’s important to do research and choose wisely so that your construction business is in compliance with local laws.

5. Choose a Location - Whether you plan on operating out of a physical location or not, you should always have an idea of where you’ll be based should it become necessary in the future as well as what kind of space would be suitable for your operations. 

6. Hire Employees - There are several ways to find qualified employees including job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed as well as hiring agencies if needed – depending on what type of employees you need it might also be more effective to reach out directly through networking events. 

7. Acquire Necessary Construction Equipment & Supplies - In order to start your construction business, you'll need to purchase all of the necessary equipment and supplies to run a successful operation. 

8. Market & Promote Your Business - Once you have all the necessary pieces in place, it’s time to start promoting and marketing your construction business.

A construction business plan is an official document that will serve as your guide on how to proceed with your operations. It is a comprehensive document that includes many elements, such as an action plan , a financial plan, a marketing plan , and more. These are all needed whether you are just trying to come up with a general construction business plan, as any sample construction business plan template can attest. Even a concrete construction business plan follows roughly the same format, although it does not have to be strictly followed.

Whenever you take a look at business plan examples for contractors, there are always so many details to get lost in. The good news is that no plan has to strictly stick to the same format. Creating your own commercial construction business plan can be a flexible endeavor, as the following general steps will attest. Read them closely and see what you can take away from each one.

The first step is basically you coming up with your construction company profile and business description. Provide the name, your headquarters’ address, and your contact information. Afterward, write about what kind of buildings you intend to build; be detailed about their intended purpose and nature.

For the second step, you must now talk about your construction company’s strategies. You can discuss at length how you intend to draw in clients, what your pricing strategies are, and whether or not you are dealing with long-term clients.

These are all separate topics that any construction professional can discuss in their own separate articles. In the interest of being concise, let us just say that any construction business plan sample PDF will include an analysis on your competition, an explanation on your  construction bidding processes, and how you get started with any given project.

Going into the heavy lifting part of your business plan, it is vital that you include an equipment checklist . These do not have to be used for every project, but they must be indicated as long as they are being used at all. Then proceed to how your financial outlook is; provide a financial statement if you can.

Although it varies and will depend on several factors (such as whether you will specialize in residential services or commercial construction), the average capital range seems to be between $50,000 to $500,000.

The four main types are residential construction, commercial construction , heavy construction, and specialized industrial construction.

First of all, it allows a company to have a sense of direction. Second, it is made to help secure external finance opportunities. Third, it helps fuel further ambitions while mapping out opportunities for growth.

A construction company business plan is so useful, you’d never think about tackling a project without one ever again. So now that you’re better educated about these plans, what’s your next move? Are you going to download a construction business plan template free of charge from us, or will you decide to make one yourself from the ground up? Regardless of what you decide, you’re not in a much better place to succeed regardless after reading this article. Act quickly and take advantage of your new-found knowledge today!

Marketing Analysis of Construction Company

When jotting down construction business concepts in your proposal, you should create a separate section for marketing analysis. This portion of your business plan of a construction company will provide readers a detailed layout about the construction industry’s market trends and segmentation. You should also mention your target market and explain the reasons behind targeting specific audiences.

What’s more, the marketing analysis must include a well thought out pricing strategy as investors want to know how much you plan to charge for your services or products. Consider studying your target market and analyzing prices to make sure you have enough data to justify your prices, increasing your chances of getting adequate funding to start your construction company.

Marketing Strategy

As mentioned earlier, running a successful business plan of a construction company is not as easy as most people think. There are a lot of complications involved in it, which could lead to losses and may even cause you to close shop. Therefore, it is essential to show your potential investors why you are competent enough to run a construction company that generates excellent profits.

The best way to prove that you are worthy of getting investments is by creating a detailed marketing strategy containing stats and data to support your claims. If you take a close look at any marketing plan for business plan of a construction company , you will notice they discus monthly and yearly sales, profit forecasts, and competitive analysis.

Some proposals also have diagrams, charts, and tables to indicate your construction businesses expected trajectory, showing people that you have a clear strategy to make money.

Personnel Plan

Investors, especially if they have years of experience, are quite vigilant when it comes to helping out up-and-coming businessmen. Letting them know who will work in your construction company and what their roles will be could make them more relaxed. You can do this by creating a section named “Personnel Plan”.  It is an important section when writing a plan of a business for a construction company as it highlights your company’s staff and the average salary of your potential employees.

This portion should also mention the roles of your company’s staff members and their overall contribution. It would be best if you make a thorough, detailed personnel plan and provide an estimate of your workers’ annual salaries. Once again, you should do a fair amount of research to make sure you get the correct facts and figures as your investment for business depends on it.

Financial Plan

Many people create a business plan for a construction company, but very few succeed. Why? Because the ones who fail often provide a lackluster financial plan and in some cases, people don’t even bother mentioning it.  The financial plan is arguably the most important part of your construction company business plan.  It should be stat heavy and discuss how you intend to manage your business’s finances.

Every successful business plan of a construction company proposal includes a brake-even analysis, monthly and yearly profit business plan of a construction company , business ratios, projected profits and losses, and other critical elements. Remember, business proposals without financial plans are a deal breaker for most investors and will significantly reduce your chances of getting funded.

The appendix will be the last section of your construction company’s business plan and will contain detailed information regarding its essential talking points. Adding some extra documents, charts, and tables, pertinent to your upcoming business is a great way to get people’s attention, showing that you are serious about starting a construction company.
