Kieran McCarthy: Moving from tradesman to building contractor

Building Advice: It’s a big step up so do your research

Let me share a little of my journey and what I learned on the way.

Hi Kieran,
Have you any advice for a tradesman who wants to become a building contractor? What is most important and what do I need to look out for?
Thank you

Hi James,
Thanks for your question. So you are a tradesman who feels he has more to offer. Maybe you have great knowledge and experience and want to take it to the next level, of being your own boss. Sounds like a plan. I’ve been in business now for over 20 years, some of which was through the Celtic Tiger and the crash afterwards. So what have I learned and what advice would I give? Let me share a little of my journey and what I learned on the way.
