Roofer Business TrainingYou learned to lay a roof from a bloke on a job. Nobody ever taught you to run the business.
Roofing training in Australia teaches you to detail a valley and fall a box gutter. It does not teach you to price a restoration, read a P&L or hire a second crew. This page is about the training that covers everything after the trade.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Roofing Business?
Your ticket covers heights, not overheads
You hold the working at heights ticket, the licence and twenty years on tin. Nothing in any of that taught you what a job should cost, when to put a price up, or how to read the numbers your accountant sends in October.
You learn business by losing money on jobs
Every lesson so far arrived as a loss: the tile job that ran three weeks, the subbie who never invoiced, the two-storey re-roof you priced at single-storey money. It works, slowly, and each lesson costs you thousands.
There is no time for a course in storm season
You are on a roof by six thirty and quoting at nine at night. A weeknight classroom or a two-day workshop in the middle of a hail run is not something you can physically do, so you keep putting it off.
Twenty years of experience laying roofs and five years of experience running a business, repeated four times over, because nothing you learned ever got written down.
Training
Here Is What We Do About It.
The Learning Hub gives you the full lesson library inside the Tradies App at $199 a month, watched at five in the morning or in the ute at smoko. Business Foundations puts you in weekly live sessions hosted by Greg Allan, working on your roofing business with owners doing the same thing.
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.
