    TLDR: Cost codes are essential for tracking expenses in commercial construction projects, and setting them up correctly is crucial for better budget management and seamless flow of information in QuickBooks. 00:00 🏗 Cost codes are essential for tracking expenses in a construction company, and the speaker shares their own cost codes and offers a downloadable Excel file for viewers to use. 01:23 🏗 The speaker discusses commercial construction cost codes and emphasizes the importance of understanding them for those entering the industry, revealing their codes and encouraging viewers to buy their template for more details. 02:55 🏗 Different cost codes for architectural, structural, MEP, civil engineering, general conditions, site work, concrete, masonry, metals, wood, plastics, thermal and moisture, doors and windows, and finishes are discussed. 03:40 💡 Acoustical ceiling materials and subcontractors are cost codes 09100 and 09150, with labor not included in the speaker's template but available in the provided template. 04:33 🏗 Use broad categories like flooring materials and subcontractors instead of breaking down into specific types, and consider the gray areas like tile work and wall coverings when organizing commercial construction cost codes. 05:44 💰 Setting up cost codes correctly is important for commercial construction projects to track estimated costs and compare them to actuals, allowing for better budget management. 06:43 🏗 Properly setting up cost codes is crucial for commercial construction, and using them in QuickBooks can make everything flow seamlessly. 07:59 🏗 My commercial construction cost codes are revealed in this video.

    TLDR: Understanding project needs, building quality relationships with subcontractors and vendors, and using a detailed spreadsheet are essential for general contractors to accurately estimate construction project costs. 00:00 🏗 Understanding project needs and building quality relationships with subcontractors and vendors is key to estimating construction projects as a general contractor. 03:38 🏗 General contractors must understand construction, consider hard costs versus intangibles, and build reliable relationships with subcontractors when estimating projects. 06:01 🏗 Download the spreadsheet for estimating construction projects, organize subcontractor bids, qualify bids based on construction documents, and use a formula to calculate the proposal or bid amount. 09:54 🏗 General contractors should factor in general conditions, add a 5% padding to subcontractor quotes, and use an Excel spreadsheet to estimate construction project costs for profitability. 14:18 🏗 Negotiate with contractors for inclusions and exclusions, negotiate lower prices with subcontractors, and provide total price for each division of work to estimate construction project costs. 16:39 🏗 Estimate construction project costs by inputting prices for materials and finishes, getting multiple bids per trade, adding profit percentage, and presenting the total project price to the owner. 19:22 🏗 Estimating construction project costs involves calculating direct costs, understanding margin vs. markup, and factoring in overhead and profit using an Excel spreadsheet. 26:10 🏗 Understand construction and engage with the video to support the channel's growth.

    I started 5 year ago as MAM remodeling as a dba doing painting on houses. After a year doing houses I got the opportunity to do a commercial project. After that I create a corporation as MAM Constructions Services. Right now I have a project manager, superintendents, estimators, and most important an excellent crew 👏 every project we get 30% + as sub of subs and 45% + as subcontractor directly. But I need customers 😢 need help selling 😫 all our growth is because people like our work and give us more work but I need new customers 😢 a sale person that knows how to get customers in Constructions. 🤔
