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.

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, built for trade business owners and watchable in twenty minute pieces. Business Foundations adds weekly live sessions hosted by Greg Allan, so you can ask about your actual job, your actual builder and your actual numbers.

How it works

Three Steps, Starting Tonight.

Step 1

Start tonight, for nothing

Join the free Tradies App 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 Greg

You speak to the owner who has already done it.

Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.

He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.

He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.

Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.

What changes for you

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 the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.

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. The office stops landing on you.

The old way

More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.

Most trade businesses grow the same way.

More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.

None of it gets paid for.

So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.

Or hires an office person to do it.

The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.

And the owner is still the one everything waits on.

Where we take you

More work. More profit. More of you left.

The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.

You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.

Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.

The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.

The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.

The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.

Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.

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

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 for trade business owners, 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.
