Welcome to another episode of Builders, Budgets, and Beers. Today we are joined with a repeat guest, Shane Glass from Schrock. And I'm going to say Schrock because it's not just Schrock Premier. It's not Schrock Development, Real Estate, Excavation, Rental. It's a conglomerate of businesses. This is an episode for listeners to really understand what are the important nuances of tracking costs and just general project financials across multiple entities. It's a very common practice in construction to have a custom side, a remodel side, a services side, an excavation side. And Shane does a really good job at explaining the importance of it, how to do it well, because they've got something special going on over at Schrock.
Go ahead and tune in. Let's get going.
All right, we're live. Everybody, we have Shane Glass with Schrock Development back for round two. Shane, how's it going? Hey, glad to be back. We had so much fun the first time. Way to come back for round two. That's right. That's right. Conversation is easy with us. Definitely appreciate you coming back on the show, Shane. I think today what I'm going to be most interested in digging in on is just start with a little bit of background on Shrock. And let's focus on mainly the multi entity business structure that you have. and what it really takes to trap cost and how you guys view that across your business. So if you could just start, give the listeners a little bit of an understanding of how you guys have structured Schrock and what's all included.
Sure. So yeah, I'll try not to get too into the weeds on the history of Schrock, but we do have a fun, interesting history. So Joseph Schrock, our owner, have started uh well his dad would have started what was known as shrock construction which would be uh i would describe it as a pretty typical homage owned construction company um so they would have done a little bit everything uh they would have done some residential stuff they would put on decks they would have done some roots they would have done uh just your more traditional construction residential construction um joseph then took over from his dad um and i i don't remember the exact year but i think it was like 1986 or 87 uh somewhere around there where he got more involved and um kind of started to lead lead truck um and he he went into commercial construction he had a lot of framing and different things uh but really where shock started to take off was when he
started to focus on areas, really hard areas of construction. So areas that other contractors really don't want to mess with. So complicated things. And it really didn't matter what it was. It was just hard. It was hard enough that other people didn't want to touch it. That's kind of how it started. He saw the challenge.
He looked for the challenge.
It was the challenge of it, but it was also the ability to create separation because in business, a lot of companies, most companies take the path of least resistance. So for him, he saw it as an opportunity where a lot of other owners might have seen the risk would have been a little too much. And that's actually how he got into the high-end residential construction because it was hard. We're doing multi-million dollar houses that that not everybody can do so uh so that's really how shrock um went from truck construction to shrock premier custom construction uh so then really the rest of our entities because we probably have oh 10 to 12 entities at this point when you talk about multi-entity reporting and accounting
But that was the start of it. So Schrock Premier to this day is kind of the primary or I don't know if primary is the right word. It's not like it's more important than the other entities, but it's sort of the overarching reputation brand image is Schrock Premier Custom Construction. And so then what's happened is over the years needs or opportunity has arisen. So, uh, you know, Joseph was one day frame in a hotel and he had a guy, I don't remember the name of the guy, but he's told me the story.
