    The hardest part of being a builder… | Ep 147

    Join the Inspired Builders Summit in Feb 2026 (limited tickets available):⁠⁠https://go.bizvideo.com.au/ibs-feb26dpodcast⁠ Everyone assumes the hardest part of building is the physical work, the cash flow, or the endless DAs. But the truth is, the hardest part is the isolation. When you’re leading the ship, you carry the risk, the stress, and the fires alone. You can’t vent to your subbies, and sometimes it’s hard to explain the specific pressure to your family. In our latest podcast episode, Andre, JP, and I get honest about the toll that loneliness takes and what we have seen builders do to solve it. We officially opened the doors to The Inspired Builders Summit (Feb 2026). It is a closed-door strategic retreat for 50 builders to escape the daily grind and finally think big. We have strictly limited tickets available, and they are already moving. Secure Your Seat Here: https://go.bizvideo.com.au/ibs-feb26dpodcast Are you a builder?

    The Organic Strategy That Makes Builders Sell Themselves. | Ep146

    Join the Inspired Builders Summit in Feb 2026 (limited tickets available): https://go.bizvideo.com.au/ibs-feb26dpodcast Isn't it frustrating when a potential high-value client comes across your website, then your social media, and leaves confused or sceptical? That feeling of inconsistency—from your Google reviews to your Instagram grid—is the fastest way to break trust and ensure they go with the cheapest quote. What if you could synchronise your entire digital brand, making every touchpoint a testament to your professionalism, quality, and values? In this episode of the Inspired Builders Podcast, JP from Bizvideo sits down with Renae, our Organic Content Manager, who reveals the single biggest blocker stopping builders from attracting high-value clients: Brand Inconsistency. Using her professional expertise, she shares the blueprint for getting your brand aligned and authentic, turning your social media from a chore into a powerful sales tool. This episode is a must-listen for any builder looking to increase client conversion and save massive time in their sales process by eliminating that awkward "selling" conversation. You'll learn: - How to audit your brand for inconsistency across all platforms – And why misalignment between your website and Instagram instantly creates distrust. - Why simple acts of service and attention to detail win the bid – The subtle, psychological "halo effect" builders use to secure clients in the first 30 minutes. - How consistent and authentic messaging buys you time – How getting your team and brand aligned means the client is already pre-primed for a "yes."

    3 Things Top Designers Actually Look For When Choosing Builders to Work With | Ep 145

    Join the Inspired Builders Summit in Feb 2026 (limited tickets available): https://go.bizvideo.com.au/ibs-feb26dpodcast Ever wonder what's actually going through a designer's mind when they meet you for the first time? Are they impressed? Skeptical? Already planning to work with someone else? In this episode of the Inspired Builders Podcast, Aaron from Green Coast Building Design reveals the 3 specific things he looks for when builders reach out to him—and honestly, it's not what you'd expect. It's not your portfolio (though that helps). It's not how many projects you've built (though that matters). It's not even your price. Aaron looks for: Body language and mannerisms that signal willingness to collaborate Questions instead of statements - "How can I help?" vs "Here's what I do" Genuine relationship building BEFORE there's a client on the table And here's the kicker: the builders who understand this? They never struggle to find quality projects. In this episode, we unpack: - The exact words and body language that give designers confidence you want to collaborate - Why "project is king" eliminates ego and actually gets homes built - What quality documentation looks like (and why it protects YOUR business, not just the designer's) - How to interview designers so you're working with the right people - Why Aaron believes builders should expect MORE from their designers, not less - The collaboration method that stops projects failing before they start - How to build designer relationships before you have a client This episode is for you if: You've ever walked out of a designer meeting unsure where you stand You're tired of pricing projects that never get built You want designers to actually reach out to YOU first You've felt like the design process works against you instead of with you You're ready to be the builder designers want to work with Chapters: 0:00 - What do designers really look for in builders? 8:56 - Aaron's story: From the GFC to collaboration 18:30 - The 3 things that get builders chosen 29:00 - Why "project is king" changes everything 42:00 - Quality documentation: What you should expect 58:00 - How to approach designers (questions vs statements) 1:10:30 - Building relationships before you have a client 1:23:00 - The future of design and multi-generational housing Key Takeaways: - Body language matters more than you think - Ask "how can I help?" not "here's what I do" - Build relationships 6 months before you need them - Quality documentation protects your business - Project is king—not ego Are you a builder?

    Stop reacting, start leading: Ed's strategy for stable work | Ep 144

    Ever notice how some builders weather the storms better than others? Ed from Tasmania has been through it all - the quiet patches where work dried up, the sleepless nights worrying about keeping his team employed, the rejection from architects who didn't want to change their process, and the constant evolution of running a growing construction business. But here's what makes his story different: his mindset of "everything always works out" isn't just a feel-good saying. It's a practical philosophy that's helped him navigate every challenge while building a successful construction company specialising in high-performance homes. In this episode, Ed opens up about: - Becoming a dad twice and how it shifted his perspective on business and life - Walking away from a business degree to become a carpenter (then finishing it during his apprenticeship) - The moment his pipeline emptied and how he fought to keep his team together - Why he started calling architects directly (and the doors that got closed in his face) - How transparent communication became his competitive advantage - Building a support network that actually helps when things get tough - Why knowledge really is power (and where to seek it) - The shift to passive house training and high-performance building - What traveling the world taught him about perspective and gratitude #BuildingBusiness #AustralianBuilders #ConstructionPodcast #BuilderLife #BusinessGrowth #PassiveHouse #TasmanianBuilder #Carpentry #BuildingIndustry #SmallBusinessAustraliaAre you a builder?
