About this course
Most commercial plumbing operators are excellent technicians and terrible business owners. They underprice jobs, lose track of backflow test deadlines, skip preventive maintenance contracts, and wonder why the bank account never grows. This course fixes that.
Why it pays for itself:
Built operator-to-operator, this is the business side of commercial plumbing — priced, tracked, and systematized using the Commercial Plumbing Services Toolkit you already own.
Every lecture maps to a real tab in your workbook.
By the end, you will have your default hourly rate set, your first backflow certification log populated, a three-tier service menu priced with real math, and a path to monthly recurring revenue from PM contracts.
You will learn how to price commercial work so you cover cost and make money — not just stay busy.
You will learn what backflow testing compliance actually requires from your business, not just the field tech, so you never miss an annual test or lose a certification.
You will learn how to track jobs from quote to paid using the Job Tracker tab, and how the Income and Expenses tab gives you a real P&L without needing an accountant.
The Pipe Sizing and Pressure calculator will make you look sharper in front of property managers.
The Backflow Test Log will protect you legally and win you annual service contracts.
The Job Tracker will tell you where your revenue is at any moment.
This is a buy-once, use-forever system.
No software subscription, no ongoing fees — just a spreadsheet that runs your commercial plumbing business and a course that shows you exactly how to use it.
Ideal for solo commercial plumbers, small shop owners, and anyone moving from residential into commercial work for the first time.
