Builder Business TrainingYou learned to build on site. Nobody ever taught you to run the company that carries the site.
Training built for licensed builders who run the company: contracts and variations, progress claiming, margin, supervision and cash flow across a twelve month build. Not a Cert IV, not a site ticket. The business side of building, taught by people who work with trade owners every day.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Building Business?
Your qualification taught you none of this
Cert IV in Building and Construction got you licensed. It did not teach you how to price a prime cost item, run a cost-plus job, or read your own work in progress. You learned the business side by losing money on it.
Every rule change lands on you to interpret
NCC editions, 7-star energy, livable housing, the residential pause to mid-2029, state adoption dates. You find out from a certifier or a supplier rep, usually after you have priced the job on the old assumption.
No time to learn while five jobs are running
Base stage on one, lock-up on another, a client meeting at four and a defect callback you have not booked. Any training that needs you in a classroom for a week is training you will never do.
Another year of learning the business side one loss at a time, while the builder down the road who was taught it properly takes the work.
Training
Here Is What We Do About It.
The Learning Hub gives you the full lesson library inside the Tradies App for $199 a month, watched at night or between site visits. Business Foundations puts you in weekly live sessions hosted by Greg Allan, where you bring your actual contract, your actual margin and your actual crew problem.
How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Start tonight, for nothing
Join the Tradies App with an active ABN and the starter courses open straight away. No card, no trial clock counting down while you are still on site.
Work the module that matches the problem
You do not start at lesson one and grind through. You start at the thing that is costing you money this month, and the library is organised so you can find it.
Take it live
Business Foundations runs weekly with Greg Allan, so the module you watched on Tuesday gets pressure tested against your actual numbers on Thursday.
