About Us
The Professional Builder helps residential building company owners like you get back your freedom.
My Story
I completed my Masters in Marketing and lectured at Otago University but didn’t want to be a broke academic.
That’s why I started my first business at age 21 to apply the lessons, strategies, and principles I learned in the real world.
I’m a massive petrol head and combined my passion for cars and marketing in the corporate world at Honda as the Marketing Director and Pirelli Tyres as the Country Manager (New Zealand).
Along the way I’ve owned and ran 9 businesses, gaining valuable experience about how to control cash flow, hire high quality staff, and implement systems that create consistent results every time.
I started The Professional Builder in 2004 to help residential construction company owners to create true wealth – both more money and more time.
Seeing our members succeed is what drives me to work harder every day.
How We Can Help You
Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.
This is not your fault.
You can be the best builder in the world but trade school doesn’t teach you how to run a business.

Gaining control over your business doesn’t need to be hard.

FAQ
I don’t have the money or the time…
There’s a reason some building company owners get results much faster than others and accomplish in 12 months what takes other people 3-5 years…
That’s because they follow a proven system with plug and play templates to version for speed and confidence.
You need 3 things to track your results with certainty:
- Content – proven templates, plug and play systems and processes used for acceleration so you don’t reinvent the wheel.
- Coaching – to help get you unstuck, get an expert’s opinion and hold you accountable to hit your goals each month.
- Community – Join 400+ other residential building company owners on the same journey sharing results of what’s working well and pick their brains to solve your problems… Problems, many have already come out the other side of.
If you are committed to changing and improving your results and put 100% effort into the program, you will see significant improvements in the first 90 days.
The people who get the best results are those who:
- Quick to take massive action so they build momentum.
- Quick to ask for help when stuck so they can get help and coaching.
- Share their wins and lessons in the community each week so they learn, grow and repeat wins while avoiding repeating their mistakes.
If you are committed to changing and improving your results and put 100% effort into the program, you will see significant improvements in the first 90 days.
Will this work for me?
If you’re a residential building company owner, then the short answer is yes. But there is a caveat with that… You’ve got to do the work.You have to turn up to your coaching calls and take action on your game plan. If you do the work, you’ll get the results.

Who do you work with?
We work exclusively with residential building company owners. Not Plumbers, Electricians, HVAC and Service companies doing maintenance works.
Residential Building Company Owners who are in one of our four phases of the Builders Ladder and are experiencing any of the following...
- They are fed up working late nights, weekends and aren’t getting time with their families.
- Not getting paid their worth and are using bank balance accounting to rob Peter to pay Paul.
- Owners who have all the systems in their head and can’t take a holiday for fear of the projects and sites grinding to a halt…
- Those finding it hard to attract a good team to help them scale or step off the tools and away from site.
- Owners who keep getting pulled back in to fix day-to-day issues on site such as variations (change orders), ordering materials, clients, project schedules and sub trades, etc
- Those competing on price to win work and lowering their margin to keep their guys busy.
- Great builders who are wanting to build a great business but lack the plan, resources and direction.
- Owners who need systems and processes to give them stability and resilience so they aren’t so stressed out about cash flow, continuity of leads and work or retaining their team and profits.
All our tools, templates, systems and processes are tailored to plug and play for building company owners who are doing some of the following types of projects…
- Custom New Builds
- Knock-Down Rebuilds
- Extensions
- Renovations
- Additions
- Alterations
- Remodels
- Architecturally Designed Homes
Our current members and alumni have specialised in these projects and we continue to refine exact approaches for these prospects, clients, projects, systems, processes and everything that goes into businesses that do these types of projects.
Will this Program work for me?
Can I have my partner, wife/husband or team join the program?
Yes. This is a resource and investment into
- You AND
- Your team AND
- Your business.
We allow two per team in the Facebook community and one login to the membership site per company. You can have as many people on the 1-1 coaching calls as you like and multiple people attend the group coaching calls that happen weekly.
We also provide a clear roadmap (script, vision training, meeting agenda) of how to get your team onboard and pulling in the same direction when you join the TPB program. We highly recommend sharing the load of implementation and execution with those around you so getting you team involved is something we encourage and try to make as easy as possible.
Bring your business partner/spouse to the call - it’s really important that when you are considering or making decisions about your business everyone is involved in the process and avoids wasting time with follow up calls.
