Construction Related Business Opportunity for Contractors and Entrepreneurs

Welcome to DRI.  We are contractors too, and when we added this line of business, we began to make serious money!

We can assure you this is the real thing…and we put our money where our mouth is by supplying you with information that you can easily verify for yourself, by yourself, without our interference. We will never “hound” you. We do not want you to send us money and we do not need your personal or business financial information. The only requirement is that you are in, or want to be in, the construction industry. We own and operate several territories ourselves!

You may never find a better opportunity to make money like this on such a small investment!

The opportunity is to start or expand your existing contracting business using our proprietary products as you install our unique state-of-the-art system.  This system solves a very common problem.  It does not treat the symptoms.  This is a serious business and we need serious businessmen.

Contractor Business Opportunity

Fellow Contractors,

Stability?  Many contracting business owners believe that the election results and late breaking congressional decisions will result in better days for business owners like us.  The construction industry has certainly been tough for several years!  For many companies, just keeping the doors open remains a challenge, so we understand that a decision to expand a business is a huge decision fraught with concern over the economy, long term stability, and taxes.  We see the economy growing now…slowly, but growing.  With government decisions made over the past few weeks, we welcome the anticipated stability.  Major tax decisions have also been made.  The stage is now set to grow our businesses in the coming year.

Beginning or Expansion?  Is now the worst possible time to expand a business?  We think not, because we all need to be positioned for growth as the recovery accelerates.  Think about it…most people are still not selling their homes.  Most will upgrade/repair their current homes until the real estate market has shown major improvement.  Positioning for the recovery is important now, and we are ready now!  Last year was tough for us too, but now our contracting business is growing like it was years ago.

Our Business.  We don’t build luxury homes or sell foreclosures.  We do make existing homes healthier, more efficient, more comfortable, safer, and if desired, sellable.  We use unique and proprietary products that are installed by our licensed contractors only.  We offer fully protected territories, each having an abundant market; and we use a standard licensing agreement.  Be assured, we own and operate several territories ourselves, so we know this business ourselves from A to Z.  As our brand recognition grows, so does our network of licensed distributors and satisfied customers.  We refer all business we find to the closest local licensee if one exists.  However, we do receive calls that we can not service because we have no distributors close by, and that is why YOU are receiving this letter. 

You.  We are looking for good contractors who want to expand their business now and grow in the accelerating recovery.  We send these invitations to licensed contractors and entrepreneurs in open territories offering an exceptional opportunity that we know will result in higher profit margins for those who accept our invitation.  A case in point: Last year did not look promising for a builder/remodeler working in an area with one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates.  He could have used many excuses to close his doors, but he didn’t.  After our standard 3 days of training he was well on his way with a value-added service for his existing business.  Today he is still in construction, already making good profits with our system, and is excited about expanding as the recovery takes shape. 

Marketing.  We have our own informative website and our licensees use websites based on ours.  We also use other means of advertising.  Our network, websites, and marketing strategies generate interest in our system, and within a few minutes we easily show customers the only true solution to a common problem.  Customers often say that our system is just what they were looking for because it makes perfect sense.  We offer no “workaround” or temporary solution.  Unlike others, we do not mis-name our system or infer that it does something that it does not do.  Many times the system sells itself, whether via the website or a personal sales presentation. If you are trustworthy and professional, you will have no problem closing sales of this system.  Remember, you will work within a large protected territory; no other distributor competes with you.  In addition, we are available daily to help you if you want operational or technical advice but you still run your own business.  We predict the coming years will see a boom in keeping existing homes healthy and safe.  Are you prepared to be a leader in that boom?

Cost.  You have to be wondering about the cost to get started.  Getting any and all information you desire will cost you nothing.  As a matter of fact, we insist that you use our 4 step disclosure process to become familiar with our products, our customers, other licensees and our business before you make any decision.  You pay nothing until you show up for training.  Only then will we accept money…20% down.  The remaining cost is carried at no interest and no risk to you; no monthly payment schedule.  You make a payment on the balance only when you complete jobs.  When the balance is paid there are no more payments.  If for some reason you choose to walk away at any time for any reason, you owe nothing more, the territory reverts to us, we go our separate ways, and we remain friends.

We would like the opportunity to help you grow your business as we grow ours in the coming year.

You probably have questions, so give us a call or drop us a line today!

Looking for a waterproofing distributor in Bridgeport WV

“Every house for sale here has a basement water problem!”

On a recent road trip to visit our distributor in Canton Ohio, Jerry Raber of Barrier Waterproofing Systems, we stopped in a small town in West Virginia to look at a home that had a below grade leak.  The person buying the home wanted an estimate to get it waterproofed, and after doing the research, wanted it done with the Barrier P and our exclusive Barrier Dual Drainage Waterproofing System ^TM because it just seems to be the best system she could find. (We agree)

Now we do not have a distributor in that area, or in WV period, so to waterproof her new home would cost an extra $800 to cover lodging and meals for a crew to stay away from home long enough to do the job.  The home owner was willing to pay the extra cost, so we stopped by on our way to Ohio.  We walked through the house with the homeowner and realtor to look at what was there and to see where other attempts at waterproofing had failed.

If you have followed any of our blogs in the past, we have chronicled in detail the limitations of trying to waterproof from the inside.  To make a long story short, your house begins at the outside wall.  If the water is getting into the wall, it is getting into your home and it is causing damage.  That includes structural (degrading concrete and rotting wood) and health (mold, mildew and high humidity) that affects the sale value of the home, which is financial damage.

During the course of our inspection, the realtor told us that this house was only seven years old and had leaked ever since it was new; and not only that, but “every house for sale (that she has seen) has a basement water problem!”  She was hoping that we would have a distributor who could take care of the problem closer than John Rowland in Columbus Ohio or Jon Bridgan at NoVa Barrier Waterproofing Systems in Winchester VA, because she could provide all the leads we could handle.

Realistically, we know that not everyone can afford to waterproof their homes, and some people have no pride in ownership and just won’t spend the money, so even though there may be a lot of potential work you cannot get them all.  For a distributor to be successful they need to do about 18 jobs in a year.  Jerry Raber signed 6 contracts in 2 months, John Roland has signed 2 in a month, and Jon Bridgan has done 18 this year, with 4 more months that are traditionally busier than the dry summer  months.

It is entirely possible in this market, in this economy and in Bridgeport WV to make a living making wet basements dry.  Needless to say, we are very interested in finding a contractor who wants to help his neighbors and run a profitable business at the same time.  Now you may think that Bridgeport WV is unique with wet basements, but sadly it is not.  We receive calls from New Jersey, Maryland and Massachusetts quite regularly for the Barrier Dual Drainage Waterproofing System ^TM and we are looking for distributors in those areas, as well.  

For more information, please visit our website at www.drihomes.info, or contact Rick Steeby at 703-901-2792.

Why DRI?

I love a good Cruise 2008.

DR Inc Business Opportunity on “Why DRI?”

I am the kind of person who likes working hands on doing something that at the end of the day I can look at and feel pride in.  Therefore my VA Contractor’s license says Builder. Another part of me is I like doing things of importance for other people.  Yes in my back ground I have been a police officer and that was very fulfilling for that part of me except it did not leave me with any since of something to look at that I made with my hands.

I suspect that there are a number of you who are contractors are in the business for the same reasons I am and have the same feelings.  The identification of yourself is probably what you put on your business card; Contractor, Builder, Remodeler and so on. I like the idea of fixing someone else’s problems leaving them with the sense that they got more value than they paid for.  I also hope I get paid enough to stay in business.

There comes a time in your life when you wonder if just staying alive in business is all you want.  It is great if my customer lives in a show house of my work.  I would like to have my wife live in a show home too.  I want to take a vacation or take a hunting trip in New Mexico with friends rather than spending all my time searching for the next job to stay in business.

Now I could go back to work for someone else doing a job and get paid good money but never enough to retire without owing anyone and enough in the bank to not be concerned for personal and family needs and we all want that.  That sort of security comes from owning your own business and it needs to function better than just surviving.

Most of us in this business own our own jobs rather than owning a business.  If you can’t walk away for two weeks and your income not stop then you own a job not a business.  If you personally sell jobs, do jobs and collect checks then you can’t stop or your business stops, right.

The obvious answer is hire and teach someone else to do what you do so you can leave except the cost to do that requires that you take on more jobs so now both of you are working and neither of you can go because he doesn’t know everything he needs to know so you spend years training him and you hire another guy to help him so you can take a couple of weeks off.

When you get back you find that your guy decided that he could do this business and make more money if he was the boss so he takes your new helper and a percentage of your customers and becomes your competition. If this hasn’t happened to you yet it will if you are in business long enough.

I was looking for the way out of that circle and was trying out different ideas, investing in rental income property, rehab flips, and one of the things we learned is that having more than one source of income is insurance. We were looking at ways to experiment with until we found something that worked without getting out of contracting.

I found that niche I was looking for with twice the income margin I had in remodeling and something more that I was missing as a remodeling contractor. I could train a helper to do everything required to do the business except the bookkeeping in about 2-3 jobs.  I could get secure regular income through each job and best of all if my help quits he cannot go into business as my competition.  As a matter of fact I would encourage him to get his own business only he would only have to move somewhere else to do it. You can by a “Burger King” franchise but you can’t build across the street from one.

In a relative short time span the business has the potential for me to train two or three crews to do the work and a foreman to oversee the work. You know what that means.  Yes Vacation! It also means having the time to go out talk to everyone about your business do the marketing and keep those guys busy.  It could be possible with enough work to put together three, three man crews each working one job a week with 2 weeks leave at Christmas and leave you a net profit of over a half million dollars a year.

Do all that without straining your back, climbing a ladder or getting dirty.  That is not to say you won’t do all of it to start with as you learn how to make the jobs run and while you are building the business.  Most of you like me started your business with no one to show you what you need to do to sell a job or market a business and you learned the hard way or you wouldn’t have survived.

Here at DRI we teach you what you need to know to do the business, we give you the tools to help you succeed and we don’t require you to make franchise payments before you start making any money.  We started out building new businesses.  We have worked hard building and doing just the business we want to share with you. In the words of my grandson “Been there done that.”

We will never tell you that if you do this then in 2 weeks you will be sipping drinks on the beach while the dollars roll in.  I can tell you that if you work as hard at making this part of your business as you did starting your contracting business you will be more successful quicker with less headaches and more time off, if you choose to take the time off. (I am a realist and I know most contractors are workaholics or they are not contractors) As the economy went south in 2009 my licensed areas more than doubled year over year income.

I know the guy who started the first licensed area and he is approaching 70, looks like he is 50 and got out of the new house building business, that carried a 2 million dollar credit line, altogether when this sideline business made him more money with less time involvement.  He claims he likes doing this enough that he will continue doing it until he dies.  Not because he has to but because he already has all those things I talked about up above, security and once you have that life is a lot more fun.

He didn’t do it in a few weeks but he was ok in just a few years of real work. He didn’t have someone to train him, or to market with him, or proven product line, he proved that it worked; he developed the marketing and the training with his partner. He has a lot of company out there now and we are looking to add many more.  As this becomes more popular than the new “Avatar” movie (Just Kidding) it will be more difficult to secure the best areas. All kidding aside in the 1960’s anyone with a little money could have owned the first “McDonald’s” in their area and no one knew who they were.  On the other hand by the mid seventies anyone who had one was doing well and you had to have a lot of money to by one of those stores.

For DRI it is about where McDonald’s was in 1965.  We are not yet big enough that everyone knows us but where we are established we are successful.  Five years to ten years from now you will have to buy someone else out to be licensed in your area at three to four times today’s cost.

I attach the following as an introduction to the DRI business opportunity.  This opportunity is available to licensed contractors in good standing in their area of operation.  We have exclusive areas and so some areas are already taken.  For more information go to http://dri-us.com and the contractors pages and use the contact us tab.

Many people put little faith into anything they find on the Internet.  Many opportunities are found to be a scam.  We can assure you this is the real thing…and we put our money where our mouth is by supplying you with information that you can easily verify for yourself, by yourself, without our interference. We will never “hound” you. We do not want you to send us money and we do not need your personal or business financial information. The only requirement is that you are in the construction industry.

My name is Rick Steeby.  I am a contractor and I own DR Inc. of the U. S.  Our founders were home builders for 25 years and had a front row seat on the construction industry roller coaster while juggling a credit line of $12-Million.  We all lived the “dream” and all have experienced, maybe like you have, the building, construction, and contracting industry ups and downs.  Yes, presently the industry is down.  These days hundreds of good builders are losing everything they have every month through no fault of their own.  For many, there is little that can be done about it.  They didn’t create the problem, but it seems that the builder is always the one left holding the problems and the debt.  As a contractor I certainly understand today’s reality.  Market downturns always result in intense competition with cut-throat pricing, lower profit margins, squeezed subcontractors, layoffs, bankruptcies, stress, and abundant uncertainty.  We know…we were there.

We needed something to fall back on for survival.  We wanted something that was construction related because construction and contracting is our business.  It is what we know.  We needed a “niche”, unaffected by the housing market, void of low-bid competition, and a business line that would be exclusive to our company and our market area.  It had to be capable of producing high profit margins that made it worth the effort required.  We searched extensively, but everything we found was already being done by someone else and they were experiencing the same problems and just as much frustration as homebuilding.  So since it couldn’t be found, it was conceived, developed, tested, tried and proven.  And we are still contractors!

Today we don’t build any more houses, and maybe your business will change also… that is all up to you.  All I can assure you is that we created a better way to make more money with less grief…as contractors.  Please do not misunderstand.  I am not saying that you should quit what you are doing.  What I am saying is that we have developed a business that is an ideal fit for any good contractor running a good, honest business.  We are so sure of this that if you are interested, we will not hound you to try to convince you.  You will convince yourself.  We promise that after your first contact with us, we will not hard sell, bug you or re-contact you.  You will initiate any further conversation with us during our 4-step diligence process.  You will be asked to complete your own job financial review, licensee interviews, customer interviews, and a licensing agreement review.  Through that process you will have the facts to make any further decision based on your own good judgment.  I do know this:  If you are a contractor, our business is the perfect business line for you. 

Very simply, we have developed an exterior below grade foundation waterproofing and drainage system designed for EXISTING homes that works every time. Our products are carefully engineered and made exclusively for our use by Major U.S. manufacturers.  These products can only be purchased by our Licensees. Our territories are large enough to sustain your business and to permit expansion. You are also protected from direct competition with other licensees. We could go on and on, but you can read it all for yourself at http://dri-us.com in less than 15 minutes, so take the time…you’ve got nothing to lose.  You owe it to yourself to just check us out.  This GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY is what you’ve been looking for!
