Why You Need to Know Building Codes

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter.  

Garrett Kurtt reveals how OneClick Code saves time and increases profitability. 

Contractor Radio’s Jim Johnson interviews CEO and founder of OneClick Code Garrett Kurtt on how third-party code verification helps contractors make more money, save time and mitigate risk.  

Covering 98% of the country, OneClick Code offers building code reports to contractors for free. Born to be the solution to constantly looking up building codes, Garrett designed OneClick Code to transform a difficult system into one that benefits and enables all roofing contractors. Simply enter in a property address and get instant access to the local municipality contact and enforced roofing codes. 

Garrett shares with Jim how this data saves you time, it allows you to “sell in a more intimate way and know your customer,” says Garrett. “The more you know the easier it is to be able to relate and that's one aspect of it, and the other aspect is jurisdiction. Being able to get your information right, you want to know the nuances between each municipality because it could mean thousands of dollars.” 

Garrett also discusses how to use OneClick Code reports and how they can make your business more profitable. “Supplementing is a lot of work, sometimes it takes me 1, 2, 3, 4 times submitting the same thing over and over again to get them to move the needle, so if I can get that needle to move within one or two times, I just saved myself hours of time and made it easier for me to go sell more roofs and be more profitable,” says Garrett. “Additionally, I think that it is more profitable because you were essentially making the customers’ lives easier.” 

Garrett leaves the podcast with the advice to always ask yourself in business, “How is this for me? How am I going to turn these lemons into lemonade? And really try to focus on the best outcome possible because if you do well and put energy into anything else it's just going to slow you down," says Garrett. “Making a fear-based decision is completely opposite of what you should do, so get into a state of mind of knowing that everything is happening for you and it's only going to bring you to a better place down the road.”
