Trades CarpentersTraining

Carpenter Business TrainingYou did four years learning to build. You did no years learning to run a building business.

Carpentry business training built for owners who are still framing on Monday and quoting on Sunday. Learn the pricing, the numbers, the systems and the team side of a carpentry business, in short lessons you can watch in the ute before the crew turns up.

The week this is about

Sound Like Your Carpentry Business?

Your apprenticeship taught you none of this

Four years of trade school covered set out, span tables and safe work. It covered nothing about gross margin, cash flow or what to do when a builder disputes a variation. You have been guessing at the business since the day you got your ticket.

You learn business the expensive way

Every lesson so far has been a job that went backwards: the pergola you underquoted, the subbie who never had insurance, the retention you forgot to claim. Each one taught you something and each one cost you thousands to learn.

There is no time to sit in a classroom

You are on site by six thirty and home after five. A two day course in the city means two days of lost framing plus a crew standing around. So the learning never happens and the same problems come back next quarter.

Stay self taught and the business keeps costing you one expensive lesson a quarter, paid for out of jobs you have already finished.

Business Foundations

Weekly live sessions hosted by Greg Allan, where you bring your own numbers.

How it works

Three Steps, Starting Tonight.

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Work the module that matches the problem

You do not start at lesson one and work through the lot. You start at the thing that is costing you money this month, and the library is organised so you can find it.

Step 3

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.

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.

What changes

What Carpentry Business Training Actually Changes.

Three things carpentry business owners walk away able to do.

Read a job's gross margin before you sign, not after the last invoice lands

Price a fixout or a deck from real costs instead of a gut feel

Run a week on the tools without the admin piling up for Sunday night

A trade business owner and his partner in the kitchen looking at a tablet showing the numbers going up — Work that actually pays

A trade business owner shaking hands with a new apprentice in the work yard — A good hire who stays

A trade business owner standing calmly in the yard while his crew load two utes behind him — Out of the middle of everything

Questions

Carpenter Business Training, Answered.

I am on site all day. When would I actually do the training?

In the pieces of the day you already lose. Lessons in the Tradies App are short and split by topic, so you get through one at smoko, one waiting on the truss delivery, one before the crew arrives. Business Foundations runs live weekly, and the sessions are there afterwards if you are still at lock-up.

Is this carpentry specific or general small business content?

It is built for trade businesses, and the examples are trade examples: quoting labour and materials, managing subbies, chasing progress claims, hiring an apprentice. The frameworks are the same ones used with carpentry owners running framing crews and fixout crews, so you are not translating retail advice into site language.

What does the training cost and can I start smaller?

The Learning Hub is $199 a month. If you want to start without paying anything, the Tradies App is free with an active ABN in Australia and New Zealand, and it carries lessons, the members community and real business tools. Over 9,000 tradies have been trained through the Academy, and the app is rated 4.9 on the App Store.
