Fifteen years ago, Fares Elsabbagh launched Canadian General Contractors with only $50,000 and a background in digital marketing. Today, he leads a group of construction companies generating over $30 million in annual revenue.
In this conversation, Fares shares how he turned early chaos into a scalable, system-driven business. He discusses what he learned after dealing with theft during rapid expansion, how he created systems to improve client satisfaction, and the five key things homeowners care about most during a renovation. Fares also shares the key things looks for when acquiring other design-build companies.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How Fares achieved operational excellence after rapid growth
- What decisions Fares would have made differently if he had a do-over
- Fares' views working on the business rather than in the business
- The type of construction companies he wants to acquire next
