What is the best way to get into the building and GC industry?

[Parker Steele]

Hi,

I'm currently working in South LA on my second residential property. I'm looking to work for a local GC as an Project Engineer. Ideally with a contractor who does both commercial and residential projects in LA.  My experience comes from mainly my own projects, I've also assisted others on their projects and have studied various online resources. I can read blue prints and have an understanding of how various aspects of a project should be done and look. 

What is the best way to work with a contractor if you're starting out in the industry? 

The past 10 years I've spent in Marketing and Advertising. Since I've already begun investing in properties and renovating them, I'd like to scale up by working with a contractor.

Best,

Parker
