ANDREW HOUSTON


Andrew comes from a long line of tradespeople and is an Industrial Controls Licensed Electrician and Electronics Engineering Technologist himself.

Having owned, operated, and successfully sold his own automation company, no one quite knows the ins and outs of running a trades business quite like him.

He started coaching in the early 2000s after realizing one day how much his contracting business interfered with his personal life. One night he made the decision to change his career path and to put his family first. Andrew wants to help other contractors do the same and that is why he founded Profit For Contractors.

Andrew has helped hundreds of contractors maximize profit, dominate their market, and most importantly, get back time to spend with their families and loved ones. He believes contractors are doing too much of the heavy lifting in their business. They are working too hard for too little and often times don’t have a business model that is scalable. The issue is that contractors are given the tools in school to be tradesmen, not businessmen.

Andrew has been published multiple times in Electrical Business Magazine and hosted countless webinars alongside different trades-related publications such as Canadian Contractor and HPAC Magazine. He writes material that helps contractors move beyond the day-to-day tasks of a tradesperson and toward tasks an owner of a contracting company should be focusing on. The idea is to help contractors become better leaders, to get them a better return on investment, and to get them working less time in the business and more time on the business.

Andrew’s seminars and key note addresses are available to companies and organizations that speak directly to the contractor.
