Contractors
The playbook for thriving in the age of disaster.
Written by Andy Kruger
BuildSOS CEO
When the Storm Comes is Andy Kruger’s guide to building a resilient business in the fastest-growing market in construction. Written by our CEO, for contractors, not for a general business-book audience. It’s the foundation the entire BuildSOS Certified Resilient Contractor curriculum is built on.
What’s inside
The free download covers the opening pages and the first five chapters:
- Chapter 1: The Trust Economy. Why your reputation is worth more than your profit margin.
- Chapter 2: The Integrity Advantage. How to make money without losing your soul.
- Chapter 3: Building a Resilient Team. Developing your team’s resilience.
- Chapter 4: The Green Advantage. Why sustainability is the future of construction.
- Chapter 5: The Proactive Advantage. Why waiting for the storm is a losing strategy.
The rest is in the full book: how to be the bridge between a homeowner and their insurance company, how to find your niche in a multi-billion-dollar market, and regional playbooks for hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and winter storms.
Every chapter ends with questions that help you apply it to your own business, and the book’s appendices hold ready-to-use checklists and templates.

The first five chapters are a free PDF download, with no account needed.
