How to Start a Construction Business From Scratch (No Trade School Needed)

What does it really take to leave corporate life and build a construction business from the ground up?

In this episode of Construction Champions, Ron Nussbaum sits down with Joel Ward, founder of Titan Legacy Builders, LLC in Pennsylvania. Joel shares the real story of walking away from 17 years in corporate, failing his first construction business model, rebuilding from scratch, and finding traction through demolition, cleanouts, community-first service, and a reputation built on doing the right thing.
