The week this is about

Sound Like Your Building Business?

Advice comes from the bloke on the next site

You ask another builder what he charges, what contract he uses, whether he took the cost-plus job. He is guessing too. Everything you know about running the business came from someone who learned it the same expensive way.

You will not pay for something you might not use

You have been sold software, memberships and lead services before. Some of it sat unused while the direct debit kept running. So you do nothing, and the business stays exactly as it is, another year older.

Nothing you read is written for a builder

Generic small business content does not mention progress claims, prime cost items, defects liability or home warranty eligibility. You skim it, take nothing from it, and go back to working out contracts on your own.

Waiting until you can afford help is how builders end up in the insolvency statistics, and the app costs nothing to start today.

The Tradies App

Here Is What We Do About It.

Download the Tradies App. It is free with an active ABN.

Upgrade to the Learning Hub at $199 a month when you want the full library.

How it works

Three Steps, Starting Tonight.

Step 1

Sign up with your ABN

Free for verified ABN holders in Australia and New Zealand. Two minutes, and you are in.

Step 2

Get the free tier, which is a real one

The Crew, the daily Q&A, the starter courses and a chat with Greg. Not a preview with the useful parts locked.

Step 3

Go deeper when it is worth it

The full Learning Hub, the live programmes and Greg sit behind it when you want them. Nothing switches off if you never take them.

Why you get me

I built the coaching company everyone else runs. Then I took it apart.

Most coaching companies work the same way. You enquire, you get a salesperson. You sign up, you get a coach who has never run a trade business.

I know, because I built one. I grew the Academy to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches. It ran without me.

And I hated it. The bigger it got, the further I was from the owners I started it for.

What gets me up in the morning is getting under the hood of a trade business and helping the owner hit their goals in the least time possible.

So I restructured the whole thing.

When you enquire, you speak to me. If you are accepted into the Academy, you work with me. Directly.

And with agentic AI, the results come sooner than most owners can imagine.

Places are limited. I only take on owners who are committed and ready to do the work.

Who you will be talking to

I built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with more than 1,950+ five-star reviews.

A general manager runs it day to day. I live in Byron Bay.

I have trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.

What AI actually changes

The old way. The new way.

Illustration: a trade business owner standing over three office staff buried in paperwork at night.
The old way

More customers meant more people doing your computer work, and you paying for all of it.

Illustration: a tradesman shaking hands with a homeowner in her driveway, his phone showing jobs quoted and invoiced.
The new way

You stay with your customers and your team. Agents run the office your way.

The old way

Grow, then hire people to do the computer work.

Every new customer brought more quoting, invoicing, chasing, scheduling and reporting.

So you hired people to do it. Office staff, bookkeepers, admin.

None of it is billable, and every hire costs wages, sick leave and another person to manage.

Profit and time only grew as fast as you could add people.

The new way

Keep the human work. Give everything else to agents.

Your people do what only people can do: looking after customers and leading the team.

Everything else goes to agents that do it your way, instantly, any time it is needed.

No sick leave. No capacity problems. They scale as far as the business does.

So the only people you add are the ones facing your customers and your team.

A human-centred business that runs on systems you build in minutes. Nobody still running the old way can compete with it.

Is the Tradies App really free for builders?
Yes. Free with an active ABN in Australia and New Zealand. You get lessons, the members community and real business tools. The Learning Hub at $199 a month is the paid upgrade for the full lesson library, and it is a choice you make later, not a condition of getting in.
What is actually inside the app for a residential builder?
Lessons on pricing, contracts, systems, hiring and marketing written for trade business owners rather than generic small business. A members community where builders, chippies and other trades compare what they charge and how they run jobs. Plus business tools you can use on the build you are running right now.
How do I know the app is any good before I download it?
It holds a 4.9 rating on the App Store, and the Academy carries 123 Google reviews at a 4.9 rating from trade owners. More than 9,000 tradies have been trained through the Academy. Beyond that, the honest answer is that it costs nothing to look, so download it and judge the lessons yourself.
