The 6 Stages Of Growth Of A Profitable Building Company

Your building company can either give you the freedom and profits you wanted when you started… or it can become a monster that eats up every minute of your life. 

The difference comes down to HOW you grow.

In this episode, Owen and Vinnie break down the six stages every residential builder goes through — from “survival mode” to running a thriving business that doesn’t need you on-site every day.

They reveal why builders can’t just throw more bodies at problems like other industries can.

And why the systems that worked when you were doing $2M in turnover could actually hurt you at $5M (if you don’t adapt them properly).

Tune in to discover:

✔ The real challenges at each growth stage: from getting off the tools to building an A+ team that doesn’t need babysitting

✔ The essential systems you need before taking on more work (so you don’t end up with more headaches and less profit)

✔ Why taking on more projects often leads to smaller margins (and what successful builders do differently)

✔ When to hire your next team member… and when adding staff will just drain your cash flow

✔ How to build a stable business that grows — without sacrificing your family time or working until midnight on quotes
