Real Project Estimating Series β Vol. 1: Veterinary Clinic
Video 1 β Read the Project Like a Pro: Specs & Plan Review. Walk through the drawing set and spec book, identify the scope by CSI division, flag what makes a vet clinic unique (medical gas, lead-lined X-ray room, specialty flooring/drainage in kennels, sound attenuation, HVAC zoning for animal areas). End with a complete scope checklist.
Video 2 β Quantity Takeoffs, Trade by Trade. Sitework through finishes β actual takeoff demonstrations. This is also a natural place to show Takeoff Pro on screen, which soft-sells your platform inside the course.
Video 3 β Pricing Every Trade. Apply labor manhours, material pricing, equipment, sub quotes vs. self-perform. Show your manhour calculator method. This is where students see the "all trades" promise delivered.
Video 4 β Building the Full Detailed Estimate. Roll everything into the final estimate: overhead, profit, bonds, insurance, contingency, then the finished bid-ready document. End with the upsell CTA β ConstructIQ for ongoing training, or the 3-Day Bootcamp for people who want it live with you.

π¨ NEW SERIES: RIOTS IN AMERICA β All 3 Episodes Streaming NOW π¨
One word. Three very different stories. And a question America still won't answer.
πΊ Episode 1: The Watts Riots (1965) β Six days that shook Los Angeles. 34 dead. But what the headlines called a "riot," the community called a breaking point β after years of police brutality, redlining, and being locked out of opportunity.
πΊ Episode 2: The Tulsa Race Massacre (1921) β They called THIS a "riot" too. But Black Wall Street didn't riot β it was destroyed. 35 blocks burned. Hundreds killed. A thriving Black community erased overnight, then blamed for its own destruction for 100 years.
πΊ Episode 3: When White Riots β Why Do They Get a Pass? β Fans flipping cars after a championship. A mob storming the U.S. Capitol. Why is it "unrest," "passion," or "protest" when the crowd looks different? We break down the double standard in the headlines β word by word.
Same fires. Different vocabulary. It's time to ask why.
βΆοΈ Watch the full RIOTS IN AMERICA series β streaming 24/7 on Black Truth TV

15 years advising contractors. All of it on the table next week.
If you build in TX, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, SC, NC, or TN β turn your notifications on. π

π HUBZone Certification
If your business is in the right zip code, the federal government is buying. Most contractors don't even check.
π IF YOUR BUSINESS IS IN A HUBZONE β THE FEDS WANT TO BUY FROM YOU.
The HUBZone program sets aside federal contracts for businesses located in Historically Underutilized Business Zones. It's one of the easiest set-aside programs to leverage IF you qualify β and many contractors do without realizing it.
HUBZone certification gives you:
β Set-aside competition (you bid against fewer competitors)
β Sole-source contract eligibility up to certain thresholds
β 10% price evaluation preference in full competition
β Counted toward federal subcontracting goals (primes want you on their team)
Qualification basics:
- Principal office in a HUBZone
- 35% of employees live in a HUBZone
- US small business under SBA size standards
Sounds straightforward. Application is anything but. Common rejection reasons:
- Address verification issues
- Employee residency documentation
- Ownership structure questions
- Office "principal" interpretation
We handle HUBZone filing across all our Government Contracting packages.

ποΈ 8(a) IS THE CERTIFICATION THAT CHANGES YOUR BUSINESS β IF YOU CAN GET IT.
The 8(a) Business Development Program is a 9-year federal certification that gives socially & economically disadvantaged business owners access to billions in sole-source and set-aside contracts.
It's also one of the HARDEST certifications to qualify for and file correctly.
Application requirements include:
β Personal narrative of social disadvantage
β Detailed financial statements (yours AND household)
β Business viability analysis
β Past performance documentation
β Ownership and control proof
β Tax returns, bank statements, supporting documents
Most DIY 8(a) applications get returned at least twice. Many get denied entirely.
We do this work as part of our Government Contracting pipeline:
β STARTER package: 8(a) filing + SAM.gov registration
β GROWTH package: 8(a) + 2 more certifications + bid access
β ELITE package: full pipeline + proposal coaching
Built by Stacey F. Johnson β SCLA-certified, OSHA-certified, 15 years contractor consulting in all 50 states.
If you qualify for 8(a) and you don't have it yet β you're leaving a 9-year runway of federal contracts on the table.

INTRODUCING GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING β FULL PIPELINE FROM CERTIFICATION TO CONTRACT.
The federal government spends $700 billion a year on contracts. State governments spend hundreds of billions more. School districts, DOTs, municipalities, housing authorities, public universities β all of them are buying construction services right now.
A massive portion of that spending is set aside for minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and disadvantaged businesses.
Most minority contractors see almost none of it. Not because they can't do the work β because they don't have the SYSTEM.
We built the system. Tiered packages from "not certified yet" to "winning federal contracts."
π± STARTER β Get certified, registered, into the system
β’ One certification (8(a), HUBZone, MBE, WBE, or DBE)
β’ SAM.gov + UEI registration
β’ Eligibility review + documentation
β’ Submission tracking
π GROWTH β Multiple certs + bid access + sales tools
β’ Up to 3 certifications (federal + state/local mix)
β’ Capability Statement creation
β’ Bid alert systems setup
β’ Bid screening training
β’ Past performance template
π ELITE β Full pipeline + proposal coaching
β’ Unlimited certifications
β’ Proposal coaching on real bids
β’ Past performance packets (federal-grade)
β’ Quarterly strategy calls
β’ Teaming / JV guidance
Federal AND state AND local. Because real contractors need access to ALL of it.
Built by Stacey F. Johnson β SCLA-certified, OSHA-certified, 15 years contractor consulting in all 50 states.
$700 billion. Every year. They have to spend it. Why not on you?
Build. Learn. Preserve. The share of contracts that's always been ours. π
