Being on the tools and working on site is where many building firm owners feel most comfortable. Managing multiple sites, staff, subbies, quotations, invoices… well that’s another matter. We know because we talk to builders every day about this very topic. So we want to help you consider why you’re feeling overwhelmed by either the number of projects you have on the go or the sheer volume of paperwork you’re disappearing under.
Being busy isn’t a sign of success. You could be working day and night and still not turn a profit. Successful building firms rely on more than construction skills to be profitable. They thrive because they’ve put firm foundations in place – business foundations that will help them build on this year, and the next, and the next. And it all comes down to effective admin processes and a clear plan. Give your business a solid platform on which to grow and you will soon realise that many of the obstacles were self-imposed. So use the advice we’re providing on this page to help you work smarter, not harder.
