Nick Ganaway - Construction Business Consultant

Nick Ganaway, author of Construction Business Management: What Every Construction Contractor, Builder & Subcontractor Needs to Know, started and then operated his own light-commercial construction firm for 25 years. Ganaway earned a BS engineering degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, and his experience includes several years of managerial positions in commercial construction, including for Shell Oil, prior to starting his own construction business in Atlanta. Like most startup contractors, he solicited, estimated, and directly managed his early projects, and eventually grew the business into a regional firm providing services across a dozen Southeastern states. After selling his company a few years ago, he wrote Construction Business Management to provide contractors and builders with a toolbox of sound management ideas and practices, based on his own experiences in both good times and bad. His book is spiced with anecdotes that contractors will find useful, as well as his hard-earned opinions.

Nick has published articles in appeared in “Construction Business Owner,” “Entrepreneur” magazines and in “Construction Executive,” the magazine published by industry advocate Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he currently offers consulting services to contractors and other small-business owners.
