What you get

A building business that pays you properly and runs without you

Every building company is different. Kurt starts with where yours actually is, what is making money and what is not, and what you personally need to work on. Then you work through it together, in the order that suits your business rather than a set curriculum.

The numbers

You get paid properly for the work you are already doing

Once you know your true margin and can price to it, the money is usually sitting in the jobs you have already won. Most builders find it before they chase a single new lead.

The sales process

You win better jobs without dropping your price

Qualify properly, lead the client, and get paid for pre-construction instead of giving your expertise away. You quote less, you win more of what you quote, and you stop being the cheapest name on the list.

The systems

The business keeps running when you are not there

Processes the team actually follows, so the work moves without you standing over it. That is what turns a job you own into a business you own, and what lets you take a break without paying for it later.

Optimise for profit,
workflow and cashflow.

The coach

Kurt has coached residential builders, and only residential builders, since 2004

Twenty years, thousands of building businesses, and one tested process. Kurt does not coach trades, commercial or developers, and he does not run a franchise of coaches. He does the coaching himself.

He is the creator of the Million Dollar Builder Method™ and the author of two international bestselling books. Everything he teaches has been tested in real building businesses, which is why the advice is practical rather than theoretical.

"I sell certainty. My job is to take the fear and uncertainty you have around business and money and turn it into confidence and conviction."

Questions

What builders ask before they start

What actually happens on the free strategy session?

Thirty minutes with Kurt. You talk through your numbers, your pipeline and what is getting in the way. He tells you what he would fix first. It costs nothing and you are not committing to anything by booking it.

Do you understand residential building, or is this general business coaching?

Residential building is the only industry we work in. Variations, PC and PS items, pre-construction, negotiated tenders, subbie agreements, job costing. You will not spend the first three sessions explaining your business.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. There is no fixed term. Plenty of coaching outfits will ask you to sign up for twelve months before you have seen anything work. We do not. You stay in the coaching because it is making you money, and if it stops doing that, you stop.

What does the coaching cost?

It depends on where your business is and what it needs, which is what the strategy session is for. What we can tell you is that the goal is to make you considerably more than it costs you, and the first thing we work on is the profit to pay for it.

I am flat out already. Is now the wrong time?

Being flat out and not making money is the exact problem this fixes. We start with the numbers and the sales process, because that is what buys your time back. Leadership and systems come after.

Where are your clients based?

Australia and New Zealand mostly, with clients in the United States and Canada. The coaching runs online, so where you build does not change how it works.
