Prepare Tools and Equipment

this can be done by a single guy. Like I said, $6,000 in a day. But, if you have a team like he's got with Gabe, here's really basically all of the equipment you need. You've You've got to have a van if you want to become part of the franchise, right? >> Yes, sir. So, this van right here we purchased through the franchisor. We had it wrapped. That was all part of the purchase agreement. Put all the shelves in here. Uh and really what this becomes is a work van that, you know, it went from um it went from a U-Haul to me, and we installed these shelves, and now the work that we do in it it 90% of the work is actually outside, where you see right over here. >> So, really that's your main investment. That's your tool. So, like for me, you guys, I've got a skid loader there. I've got a loader. I've got an excavator. I've got three equipment trailers. I've got a fuel trailer. I've got all of this in all of this heavy equipment invested into it. They don't need to do that. They need to have a work van. >> A work van, and the work van you can purchase on you know, at your local location.

So, all you do is you just push this into the ground, push it forward, you create a V, you set the line down in it, closes right back up, so you're only going down 6 in. The other equipment, we need screws, we need drivers, uh and you see zip ties. Uh we have an e-tool. If we can't use this right here to uh do any uh trenching, like say around a gate, uh something you just can't get into. So, these are all the tools we use. But, I want to go also cover the the bidding and estimating portion of it. Because what I what I do is the bidding and estimating is is difficult. I mean, that can make or break a guy, really. I mean, for for hardscaping, for excavating, for demolition, there's so many variables that go into these jobs that there really is a uh a high level of uh of intelligence required, plus experience to go into it, plus knowledge and foresight of your overhead and everything else. But, with you guys, I'm going to tell you right now, I…
