Why successful builders are switching to development 🏗️

Construction companies have an advantage that most owners never capitalize on. 

While they're busy dealing with endless competition and market pressures, they're overlooking their perfect positioning for something bigger - real estate development.

Think about it. You already have what most developers spend years trying to build:

• A deep understanding of building science and cost structures

• Experienced staff and crews

• A strong network of professionals and experts

• Knowledge of how to navigate bureaucracy and entitlements

Most real estate developers come from backgrounds in real estate, brokerage, or law. They lack the practical experience and relationships you use every day.

Construction companies can often see opportunities that others miss - and capitalize on them more effectively.

Now, what does this transition look like in practice?

We worked with a construction company owner who knew his market held opportunity but wasn't sure where to start. 

We helped him review twelve potential deals until we found the right one - a commercial project in a growing beach community. 

As he put it, "I would never have known how to even look for deals like this had I not joined the program and been coached on how to do this properly in my area." 

Now he's on track to create over a million dollars in equity in just three years.

The path to development starts with understanding your market's unique advantages. 

Every region in North America offers opportunities - you just need to know what to look for. 

Where is growth happening? Where are wages increasing? Which asset classes make the most sense?

From there, it's about taking strategic steps:

1. Draft behind where big money is flowing

2. Secure land at prices that give you a clear path to upside

3. Build the right team for due diligence

4. Keep your debt-to-equity ratio conservative

We've seen companies take this approach and build substantial portfolios within five years. Others spent those same five years over-analyzing and missing opportunities.

At Highspire, we help construction company owners make this transition, leveraging their unique advantages to build true generational wealth through development.

Let's turn your construction expertise into a lasting legacy.

Forward always,
