The week this is about

Sound Like Your Carpentry Business?

Business help never fits around a site day

You are on the frame by seven and packing up at four. Reading a business book is not happening, and a webinar at two in the afternoon is a joke when you are on a roof. Everything useful seems built for people at a desk.

The only people you talk to are on your site

Your world is the builder, the crew and the supplier rep. None of them will tell you what a fair square rate is, how they handled a bad debt, or whether they pay their leading hand above award. You are working out everything alone.

You are not ready to spend money on help yet

Cash is tight, a builder is late paying, and the idea of signing up for a programme feels like another bill. So you keep putting the business side off and stay exactly where you are for another season.

Another season of working it out alone is another season of the same rates, the same builders and the same Sunday night quoting.

Questions

Carpenter Business App, Answered.

Is the Tradies App really free for a carpentry business?
Yes. It is free with an active ABN in Australia and New Zealand. You get lessons, the members community and real business tools at no cost. Paid programmes like the Learning Hub sit alongside it if you want more, but the app itself does not cost you anything to use.
I am a one man carpentry business. Is it worth downloading?
That is exactly who it helps most. A sole operator has no office, no manager and nobody to check a decision with. The app gives you the lessons and a community of trade owners at the same stage, which is usually the difference between guessing at your rates and knowing them.
Does it work in New Zealand as well as Australia?
Yes, the app is free with an active ABN in Australia and New Zealand. The business side of carpentry travels: pricing, crew, systems and getting paid work the same either side of the Tasman. The regulatory detail differs, since New Zealand runs the Licensed Building Practitioner scheme rather than state licence thresholds.
