Here's a Question to Answer...

What do you REALLY want out of your business 🤔? Here's the truth of owning a business – there will come a time when you want to be off the tools and out there enjoying life without the daily grind. One of the most challenging aspects of being an entrepreneur is preparing your business for this next step, while still reaping the benefits of your investment. Sadly, it's a common occurrence to see business owners get to the end of their working life to find their business cannot be sold. This is due in part to the business revolving totally around them. Before you dive in and start your own business, think of what you want in the long-run. A good solution is to leverage a recognisable national brand and use it EVERYWHERE to promote the business, creating value and equity around that brand. This strong branding presence offers value to your long-term gains, creating a solid foundation of equity that results in a saleable business.

The Key to Profitability isn't just about Revenue

Think that revenue is the be-all-and-end-all to profitability? Think again 💥 . It is much easier to achieve this by buying better...approaching purchasing of materials and items like a major builder. Most purchasing transactions often have money left on the table, and businesses that don't have a system for this part of their operations are missing out. Shop around, set-up a tender process and invite your suppliers to participate. Don't be afraid to ask for early settlement discounts and if none can be offered, ask for extended settlement terms. When your business is getting the best bang for its buck in major purchasing decisions, it'll ultimately lead to increased profitability.

The Elements Required to Make a Good Contract

At some point and time in your business, you'll need sub-contractors to help you to properly complete a project 🛠. While a swift and quick handshake can help speed up the process, this simply isn't enough. Good contract practices are not only critical to business, they are often required by law. This is why it's so crucial to have solid knowledge and understanding of contracts to succeed in the building industry. Here are just some elements that make a contract effective and well-written: ✅ Can be easily understood. ✅ Thorough in explaining the scope of work. ✅ Clauses that pertain to specific project elements and expectations for the sub-contractor. Not only do they protect the integrity of business between you and the sub-contractor, but quality contracts demonstrate your professionalism, which sub-contractors and clients value.

What to Focus on with the Design Process

Ahhh, the design process – this is where you can often lose potential clients 😵. It's common for many homeowners and investors to enlist the help of a designer or architect first, not knowing the benefits a builder can bring during the process. When they work under this one silo, that leaves them plenty of time to either: 1️⃣ Shop around for other builders or, 2️⃣ Realise that their designs might not be within the budget of building. But what if you can change this by offering turnkey solution for your clients? When you build a business that provides a complete, 360-degree solution to your client, you're not only reducing the likelihood of fickle business, but ultimately providing a customer experience unlike any of your competitors.

Our Tip 💥: Structure staffing so your business is profitable. At some point, you're going to need to hire staff to scale your business.

Sub-contractors can make or break your projects... Many homeowners value a business that possesses strong and long-term working relationships with their sub-contractors...
