Classroom
The curriculum
Three courses covering the whole trade — the business of construction, the business of service, and the craft itself. Video lessons are free to everyone; the written field manuals behind them go deeper than a video ever can, with the working documents to match.
Estimating & Bidding
Takeoffs, labor units, burdened rates, overhead recovery, and bids that win without bleeding.
Contracts & Legal Foundations
Contract types, the clauses that bite, retainage, lien rights, and state licensing across CO / WY / TX / IA.
Project Management, Scheduling & Lean
Submittals, RFIs, manpower loading, three-week look-aheads, and lean practices that cut wasted hours.
Rough-In
Running the phase that sets up everything after it — layout, coordination with other trades, production tracking.
Trim-Out
Devices, fixtures, panel terminations, and the discipline that keeps punch lists short.
Commissioning & Closeout
Testing, O&Ms, as-builts, retainage release — getting paid the last ten percent.
Special Systems
Fire alarm, low voltage, controls — the scopes that sink unprepared bidders.
Safety & OSHA
A safety program that protects your people and survives an audit.
Building a Service Department
Service vs. construction economics, and standing up the department without starving it.
Service Truck Setup
Stock, tools, and organization that turn a van into a profit center.
Dispatching & Scheduling
Call intake, triage, and routing that keeps techs producing instead of driving.
Service Agreements
Preventive maintenance agreements — recurring revenue that smooths the construction rollercoaster.
Troubleshooting
Systematic diagnosis that fixes it right the first trip.
Billing & Metrics
Same-day billing, the numbers that matter, and pricing that reflects what the work is worth.
Electrical Fundamentals
Theory that actually sticks — Ohm's law, circuits, power — taught for the field, not the classroom.
NEC Code Navigation & Wiring Methods
How to find any answer in the NEC in under two minutes, plus conductor sizing, box fill, grounding and bonding. NEC 2026.
Residential Wiring
Dwelling services, load calcs, AFCI/GFCI, and doing houses right.
Commercial & Industrial
Three-phase systems, feeders, gear, and the jump from houses to buildings.
Motors & Controls
Motor circuits per Article 430, starters, VFDs, and control logic.
Exam Prep
The calculations and code sections that show up on journeyman and master exams — and how to walk in ready.
Lessons release in the order members need them — the community steers what gets built next. If a topic matters to your company right now, say so inside the Collective and it moves up the list.
