WHAT YOU WON’T KNOW

The UNSPOKEN Problem with Concrete…

The problem with the concrete industry is, every slab is truly different and the industry is undertrained to deal with the real-time project challenges each unique slab creates. An unlimited variety of concrete mixes, site conditions, and uses exposes training gaps at every phase. Even skilled individuals tend to operate within their specific project silos without understanding how their work impacts other phases of a project.

The sad reality is, lack of proper cross-training is quietly robbing the industry through unnecessary project failures, diminished profits, warranty issues, and possible lawsuits in the short-term… with customers seeking alternatives to concrete flooring in the future.

How Much Profit are You Averaging on Your Current Jobs?

Are you leaving money on the table?!

Or are you just cash-flowing month-to-month at a loss?

We’ve all been on the wrong end of a failed project. Whether failure is measured by profit-loss, warranty headaches or even lawsuits, disaster costs you time and money like in this 5% net-loss example:

Become a Master of Concrete

Rather than relying only on what a manufacturer says, you’ll learn about everything from design and specification, to concrete place and finish, maintenance, the relationship between job roles and everything else you need to know to become an all-around expert in concrete.

What’s more, you’ll be getting all that information and everything else we’ve learned about polished concrete from the last 20 years in ONE place.  Nowhere else on the web can you get designer, contractor, manufacturer, owner’s consultant and maintenance information all in one place.

Handle Current and Future Projects with Confidence

Our trainings give you practical knowledge and insights from 20+ years of experience to help you address real world problems rather than a bunch of theoretical issues.

Imagine learning how to handle an issue by simply watching a short video only to find yourself in that situation on your next project. Imagine how you’ll handle the situation seamlessly like an expert and the reputation you’ll build for yourself.

Expand Your Offering

Polished concrete is a cheaper option to most flooring alternatives. It’s easier to maintain over time and in the last 10-20 years, more and more companies have shifted their budgets to it. You see it everywhere in newly built or remodeled buildings.

What better time than right now to become a polished concrete expert and increase the number of projects you can take on?

Become More Profitable

Nothing is more frustrating than loss in revenue over a lawsuit or warranty issue from a project you have already completed.

We’ll show you how to get around common problems at different phases of concrete projects so you can save yourself a lot of potential headaches in future.

What People are Saying about Your Instructor

David's knowledge of the polished concrete industry is second to no one. Every time David and I have a consulting meeting, I pick up another golden nugget of information that helps our business grow. When it comes to business, he has been there, done that! He's helped me figure out a way to "keep my finger on the pulse of my company." Thanks David for all you do for us at ModernCrete and for helping grow the Polished Concrete Industry!
Dan Bishop
Dan BishopReal Estate Investor, BREH, LLC
David wrote the book on polished concrete. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge regarding concrete finishing and polishing products and procedures. He has provided a range of solutions for our projects including specifications, quality control, installation, and dispute resolution. There is no one else I trust for polished concrete services.
Sloan Harris
Sloan HarrisCEO, VLK Architects
Our past experience with Consultants is that many ideas are developed with little or no help in implementation. David has not only provided knowledge and insight but IMMEDIATE efforts to positively affect our operation. Every visit has resulted in savings or opportunities far exceeding his expense.
John Norton
John NortonCEO, Preferred Global
I have worked with David for many years. He and I met during the early years as concrete polishing was coming out of its infancy. He successfully grew his concrete polishing company to become one of the premier organizations in the US, and has gained much technical and organizational experience in our industry. He has become a "go to guy" for many polished concrete contractors as they seek his advice on everything from diamond choices to staffing questions. I highly recommend David Stephenson as a consultant to the concrete polishing industry. He knows this business and those who listen to him will benefit from his considerable experience.
