★★★★★Rated Excellent on Google · Coaching builders since 2004
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.
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.
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.
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.
Real clients, real numbers, names withheld. Trade and location only.
Doubled turnover and more than doubled the margin. Working week went from 80 hours to 35.
Nearly doubled net profit and took out HIA Home of the Year five times along the way.
Rebuilt a $1.2M second generation business into a multi-branch operation, then went three weeks in the Kimberley with no reception. Came back to happy clients and projects on track.
Start where you are. Every one of them begins with a conversation, not a commitment.

Personalised one-on-one coaching for builders who want a more profitable, better systemised business that does not rely on them. Your numbers reviewed, your plan built, monthly sessions with Kurt. By application.
No lock-in contract. You stay because it is working.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
