EPISODE Notes

76% of construction business owners spend 15+ hours a week on tasks their foreman could handle

Today, we’re exploring why 80% of your building project’s success depends on your foreman – and how to transform this role from a glorified carpenter into your mini-CEO.

We dive deep into practical systems for empowering your foreman with clear scorecards, ‘Wildly Important Goals’ (WIGs), and accountability measures that drive results.

You’ll see how to create visibility across your projects, implement default calendars to eliminate constant interruptions, and build competitive performance tracking between sites – so you can boost company-wide success.

About Your Hosts

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.

This is why we created The Professional Builder.

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

Our proven systems have been used by 5,000+ builders from New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Canada, and all around the world to get back their freedom.
