Residential Code Application & Navigation (IRC)
Online Delivery | G13 Contractor License Preparation
Most people open the IRC and immediately get overwhelmed.
Too much information, no clear path, and no idea how to actually use it under pressure.
This class fixes that.
I don’t teach you to memorize the code.
I teach you how to work your way through it—so when a question comes up, you know exactly where to go and how to back up your answer.
Everything is grounded in real construction scenarios, not theory. You’ll see how the code actually shows up on a job and how to use it to make decisions that hold up with inspectors.
What we cover:
How to move through the IRC efficiently without getting lost
How to interpret key provisions and understand what they actually mean in the field
How to apply code requirements to real construction conditions
How to use the code to support your decisions with confidence
You’ll leave with a working system—not just information—so you can walk into the exam (and the jobsite) knowing how to use the book.
What’s included:
2018 International Residential Code (IRC)
Custom tab kit for your book, keeping you organized for fast navigation
Live instruction twice a week plus one on one time during scheduled office hours.
This is built specifically for contractors preparing for the G13 license, but it also stands on its own if you want a real understanding of residential code.

Commercial Contractor Licensing Preparation
Online Delivery | G12 Contractor License Preparation
The commercial contractors test is an extensive, multiple reference book test that frequently defeats potential candidates. There are a few reasons for this:
Too many books, too many moving parts, and no clear system for how to actually work your way through the material under pressure.
This class fixes that.
I don’t teach you to blindly memorize answers.
I teach you how to navigate commercial construction references efficiently—so when a question comes up, you know where to go, how to find the information, and how to back up your answer with confidence.
Everything is grounded in real commercial construction scenarios, not abstract theory. You’ll see how commercial code requirements, documentation, and technical references actually show up on projects and how to work through them in the real world.
What we cover:
How to move through commercial reference materials with greater efficiency
How to navigate code books, technical references, and construction documentation efficiently
How to interpret commercial code requirements and apply them under real-world conditions
How to work through complex questions using organized navigation systems and practical problem-solving methods
You’ll leave with a working system—not just information—so you can walk into the exam (and the field) knowing how to work your way through the material with confidence.
What’s included:
Required commercial reference materials, including the 2018 International Building Code, the 2018 International Building code and the Concrete Manual.
Customized tab kits for al three books to keep you organized organized for fast navigation
Live instruction twice a week plus one on one time during scheduled office hours
This is built specifically for contractors preparing for the G12 license, but it also stands on its own for anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of commercial construction code, references, and project documentation.

Contractor 101 – Comprehensive Systems Course
Most contractors don’t fail because they can’t build.
They fail because they don’t understand how to run the business around the work.
They underprice jobs.
They take on the wrong clients.
They get buried in chaos because there’s no real system holding everything together.
This course is about fixing that—before it costs you years of frustration.
I’ll walk you through how to think like a contractor who’s actually in control of their operation, not just reacting to whatever shows up next.
What we cover:
How to price work so you’re making money without losing the job
How to handle clients in a way that keeps expectations clear and protects your time
How to structure your business so it can actually grow without breaking
How all the moving parts—jobs, people, money—fit together into a system
This is the side of contracting most guys figure out the hard way.
Mistakes, underbidding, bad jobs, and learning by getting burned.
You don’t need to go through that.
This course gives you a framework you can actually use—whether you’re just getting started or trying to clean up what’s already in motion.

Client Relations & Subcontractor Management
Most jobs don’t go sideways because of the work.
They go sideways because of people.
Miscommunication with a client.
The wrong subcontractor on the wrong scope.
Expectations that were never clearly set in the first place.
This class is about getting control of that side of the job—the part nobody really teaches, but everybody eventually pays for.
I’ll show you how to run a project so everyone knows what’s happening, what’s expected, and where the lines are. That alone eliminates most of the chaos guys deal with in the field.
What we cover:
How to set expectations with clients before problems ever show up
How to choose the right subs—and keep them accountable once they’re on your job
How to spot risk early and handle it before it turns into a real issue
How to communicate in a way that keeps control without creating friction
This is the difference between constantly putting out fires…
and running a job that actually feels under control.

Site Logistics & Project Integration
This is where jobs are either tight and controlled…
or they turn into a complete mess.
You can have a good plan on paper, but if the site isn’t organized and the work isn’t sequenced properly, everything starts stacking on top of itself—subs tripping over each other, inspections getting missed, timelines slipping for no good reason.
This class is about running a jobsite like a system instead of reacting to it all day.
I’ll walk you through how to think about the entire project—from the first day on site to final inspection—so each piece actually fits together and moves forward the way it’s supposed to.
What we cover:
How to organize a jobsite so work flows instead of bottlenecks
How to sequence trades so you’re not constantly fixing overlap and mistakes
How to stay ahead of inspections and keep things clean with inspectors
How to tie the whole job together so nothing falls through the cracks
When this is dialed in, everything changes.
The job moves smoother, the stress drops, and you’re not chasing problems all day.

Plan Reading & Contractual Protection
This is where a lot of contractors get burned—and don’t even realize it until it’s too late.
The plans look straightforward. The job seems clear.
Then halfway through, you’re dealing with scope gaps, finger-pointing, and work you never carried.
That’s not bad luck. That’s a breakdown in how the job was read and defined from the start.
This class is about slowing that down and giving you a system to actually see what’s in front of you—in the plans and in the contract—before you ever step on site.
I’ll show you how to move through a plan set with intention, how to spot missing or conflicting information, and how to protect yourself with clear scope, solid documentation, and clean change orders.
What we cover:
How to navigate a full plan set without getting lost or missing critical details
How to identify scope gaps and coordination issues before they cost you money
How to use contracts to define the job clearly and avoid gray areas
How to handle change orders and documentation so you stay protected throughout the project
This is the difference between:
hoping the job goes smoothly
and
knowing exactly where your risk is—and controlling it.
