If you’re a residential builder operating in Australia, it’s likely you’ve been served content speaking to the benefits of having a “business” or “executive” coach. But the truth is, most coaching programs aren’t designed for the building industry. 

While it’s true that small businesses often share similar challenges when it comes to systems and scaling, the unique challengers faced by builders is unlike any other industry. This is due to the very fact that builders—especially in the early stages of growth—are responsible for every facet and channel of their business. From managing inconsistent cash flow (and oftentimes, large overheads), to the pressures of quoting and margin errors, project scheduling and juggling subcontractors, to client expectations and management, the lack of foundational systems and structures, to pricing and sales confidence. The ‘builder’ wears all the hats, and carries all the responsibility.

This is why, for many builders, exploring the potential of a business coach is so appealing. Turning to someone who might have the answers, the blueprint for how to implement proper structures to ease the pressure, once and for all.

But the truth is, builders need a more tailored approach that’s grounded in real-world construction experience—not just theory. 

The gap between theory and trades

While traditional coaching methodologies often lean into the experience gained from corporate, service or product-based sectors—their theories are often underpinned by growth strategies, sales funnels and team building exercises that while valuable, are not always applicable to the unique pressures faced by the residential construction industry.

That’s where The Builders Boardroom can help.
