Our Testimonials

My name is R. Murrell of Zoric Custom Builders and I recently matriculated through Mr. Chris Pugh’s Pugh Builders GC Academy. I am submitting this statement to share the ways in which the completion of the aforementioned program has impacted my career.

As a result of my time at the Pugh Builders GC Academy, I have mastered the content necessary to pass the general contractor’s Exam and successfully earn my general contractor’s license. When I initially signed up for the course, I expected to learn how to become an effective and skilled general contractor. However, I also had the opportunity to develop and hone skills that will enable me to manage the responsibilities associated with owning and operating a construction business. Mr. Pugh’s program focuses heavily on the nuances of the field, but also business-focused content such as funding/managing funds for projects, collaboration with other business leaders, and professionalism and business etiquette.

Pugh Builders GC Academy is innovative in its approach to helping individuals prepare for the next phase of their career and/or to transition into a new field. Upon completion of the program, I feel confident that I have the requisite skills necessary to find great success in this industry.

Pugh Builders GC Academy took us through the entire new construction process with both in class and in the field components. In the field (boots on the ground) we saw first-hand all phases of construction as we visited several homes during the construction phases and in the classroom learned the business side of construction including finance, suppliers, funding, contracts, and customer service.

Obviously, I could have study for the exam and just took the test, however I found great value in learning from someone who has the experience, is actively building homes and is doing this business not just talking about it. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about being a general contractor to take action today and contact Pugh Builders GC Academy.

Sincerely,

E. Ingram

I would like to take the time to share my experience in the Pugh builders GC academy. My profession at this time is Realtor that works with investor clients, and I do some investing/flipping houses. I was having a difficult time finding reliable contractors for work on my projects so I decided to figure out how I can control the work on my projects. I reached out to Chris from some social media post of his. I thought this would be a good avenue to help assist me with my knowledge and eliminate hiring General contractors. What I am receiving in the class is much more than I expected. Chris is giving me the blueprint on how to elevate my business, how to control the flow of finances and manage new construction projects. Because of his extensive knowledge from years of experience of ups and downs, Chris is showing me how to avoid the pitfalls of the business. I would recommend this class to anyone that has a vision and work ethic to take their Contracting knowledge to the next level of understanding. I look forward to working with Chris Pugh and his team in the long-term future, and continued mentorship. This has been a great decision for myself and my intentions.
