Episode Synopsis

What does it take to go from knowing nothing about construction to becoming a recognized custom home builder? In this episode of the Credit Banc Small Business Spotlight, host Irv Cruz sits down with Connor Andries, owner of Andries Builders. Connor shares his unlikely path—from managing a mobile home dealership to building his very first home (with zero prior construction knowledge). He talks about financing his first projects, building during COVID, and why transparent budgeting and a strong team have been key to his success. If you've ever thought about starting a business in an industry you don't know inside-out, this is a story worth hearing. 🔥 What You'll Learn: ✅ How Connor transitioned from mobile homes to founding Andries Builders ✅ Why financing that first project took guts (and personal savings) ✅ The lessons of building homes during a global supply chain crisis ✅ How transparent budgeting builds trust with clients ✅ Why people and teamwork matter more than anything in business ✅ Connor's vision for expanding into multiple states and becoming a top national home builder 🔗 Connect with Connor: Website: https://andriesbuilders.com Email: [email protected] Phone: +1 (337) 362-4774 LinkedIn (Connor): https://www.linkedin.com/in/connor-andries-6748b1243 LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/andriesbuilders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andriesbuilders Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andriesbuilders 📞 Need capital or support growing your distribution business? 👉 Book a strategy call with Irv Cruz: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/contact-irv-cruze-yt 🎧 Listen to the Small Business Spotlight Podcast 🌐 Website: https://thesmallbusinessspotlight.libsyn.com 📬 Newsletter: https://theweeklyfromshieldadvisory.substack.com ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Credit_Banc
