Episodes
-
You built it. Nobody saw it. | Ep 178
Drive past a Gold Coast waterfront home and you see a fence. Take a boat down the canal behind it and you see the whole house, the view and the work that went into it. Most of what builders create is only ever seen from the road. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, Corne and JP break...
-
The headlines say slow down. The numbers say build. | Ep 177
In this week's episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down Expand, Don't Contract, a one-move-a-week approach to growing your building business while everyone around you pulls back. They also cover last week's rate rise and the house approvals number that barely got a mention,...
-
Rates went up again. Ring your clients before the bank does. | Ep 176
The RBA lifted the cash rate again yesterday. If you have a client borrowing for their build, or releasing equity to fund it, the bank can still change the rate on that loan at the final hour. Most builders will wait to hear about it. A few will pick up the phone first. In this week's episode of...
-
They loved the design. Then they saw your build price. | Ep 175
A client falls in love with a design before they ever meet you. You price it properly, it lands way over their number, and the job dies right there. Builders lose work every week over things the client never needed. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down Must-Haves...

-
More deals die of fatigue than of price. | Ep 173
A builder's client was deep in preconstruction. Fourth design round, price creeping, months on the clock. Then their kid rolled his ankle at soccer, and that night the parents parked the whole build. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Energy Transfer, a...
-
Builders profit and pricing with Russ from APB | Ep 172
What happens when an entire industry realizes everything they believed about profit and pricing was wrong? Builders often feel isolated, competing on price and mistaking high cash flow for profitability. This episode is about exposing the shocking false beliefs and financial errors holding...
-
Every enquiry is cold. Even the one who said you came recommended. | Ep 171
Every enquiry that walks through your door is cold. The referral too, and there is a reason for that. Trust and timing are two different scales, and the one every builder measures is the one they cannot control. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Given…

You'll get there either way. Redlining is optional. | Ep 170
Corne and JP both rode Brisbane to the Gold Coast this year, ninety eight kilometres with thousands of others on the start line.

-
Five deals you think are dead. They're not. | Ep 168
Somewhere in your system there is a list of people who asked about building with you and never heard back properly. Not because you did not care. Because it slipped. Most builders write those off as tyre kickers. They are usually just people who felt ignored. In episode two of the Inspired…
