The Ten Commandments of Construction

The 10 Rules That Separate Market Leaders from the Pack

What Separates the Best from the Rest

Every contractor can swing a hammer. The ones who build lasting, profitable businesses do something far harder — they master the laws that govern trust, culture, and long-term growth. Don's Ten Commandments of Construction distills decades of hard-won experience into ten unbreakable rules that define how market leaders operate.

This isn't theory. These commandments were forged in the field, tested on job sites, and refined through real bids, real crews, and real client relationships. Whether you're running a small operation or managing multiple crews across multiple projects, these principles will challenge you to raise your standard, and show you exactly what it looks like when you do.

In 45 to 90 minutes, Don delivers a no-fluff, high-energy session that leaves every contractor in the room with a clear picture of where they stand — and a concrete blueprint for getting to the next level.

Who This Is For?

This presentation is built for the trades: subcontractors, project managers, and construction business owners who are serious about scaling with integrity.
