How NexLvel Helped Me Land My First $1M Contract

I started Wilson Construction with a pickup truck and a toolbox. For 8 years I did small residential jobs — decks, remodels, additions. Good work but I was stuck at $400K revenue.

The NexLvel Construction & Trades community changed everything. I connected with GCs who were doing $5M+ annually and they shared their exact playbooks.

What I learned:

• How to get bonded for larger commercial projects
• The bidding strategies that win without being the lowest price
• How to build relationships with commercial property managers
• Cash flow management for larger jobs with longer payment cycles

Within 8 months I landed my first $1M commercial renovation contract. That single project was more than double my previous annual revenue.

Now at 14 months in, we have $2.8M in contracted work, a crew of 12, and I just hired a project manager so I can focus on business development.

The operators in this community have been where I am. Their advice is not theoretical — it is battle-tested.
