In this episode, Corne, Andre, and JP go behind the scenes of the recent Inspired Builders Summit to deconstruct the high-level shifts they witnessed from 25 of Australia’s top building businesses.Most builders are stuck in a cycle of "manufactured busyness."

We discuss why the most successful builders in the room had to "unlearn" their drive for 10x growth to finally find clarity.We dive into:The Environment Effect: Why your physical space is limiting your strategic thinking.The Permission to Enjoy: Why hitting your goals doesn't always mean setting bigger ones.Open Loop Problem Solving: How to identify the real friction points in your business (instead of the ones you’ve made up).The Power of the Peer Mic: Why standing up in a room of your equals changes the way you lead.Are you a builder?

Join the Inspired Builders Summit in Feb 2026 (limited tickets available):https://go.bizvideo.com.au/ibs-feb26dpodcastEver notice how clients come to you with plans that are way over their budget?Turns out there's a massive problem in our industry: 80% of plans that get drawn never actually get built. That disconnect between design and pricing is costing everyone – builders, designers, and clients – time, money, and endless frustration.In this episode, JP sits down with Ray from Story Lab who's pioneered a radical solution: builder-led design.Ray's background is unique. He started in his dad's building company at 14, did his apprenticeship, worked as an estimator, then moved into design. That builder's perspective changed everything about how he approaches design projects.His approach? Get the builder involved in the FIRST conversation with the client, before any plans get drawn. Set realistic budget expectations upfront. Design within those parameters.The result? 75% of his plans proceed to construction (compared to the industry average of 20%).In this conversation, Ray reveals:- Why the traditional design-first approach is fundamentally broken- The exact process for involving builders from day one- How to have those critical budget conversations early- Real examples of rescuing projects stuck in the "over-budget" cycle- Why bespoke new homes are often more cost-effective than renovations- Fascinating technology (3D scanning with 10 million dimensions) that's improving accuracy- How to build better relationships between builders and designersAre you a builder?

Ever notice how some builders weather the storms better than others?Ed from Tasmania has been through it all - the quiet patches where work dried up, the sleepless nights worrying about keeping his team employed, the rejection from architects who didn't want to change their process, and the constant evolution of running a growing construction business.But here's what makes his story different: his mindset of "everything always works out" isn't just a feel-good saying. It's a practical philosophy that's helped him navigate every challenge while building a successful construction company specialising in high-performance homes.In this episode, Ed opens up about:- Becoming a dad twice and how it shifted his perspective on business and life- Walking away from a business degree to become a carpenter (then finishing it during his apprenticeship)- The moment his pipeline emptied and how he fought to keep his team together- Why he started calling architects directly (and the doors that got closed in his face)- How transparent communication became his competitive advantage- Building a support network that actually helps when things get tough- Why knowledge really is power (and where to seek it)- The shift to passive house training and high-performance building- What traveling the world taught him about perspective and gratitude#BuildingBusiness #AustralianBuilders #ConstructionPodcast #BuilderLife #BusinessGrowth #PassiveHouse #TasmanianBuilder #Carpentry #BuildingIndustry #SmallBusinessAustraliaAre you a builder?

Ever feel like you want to build homes you're genuinely proud of—homes that will last for generations?The problem is, so much of the industry is just focused on 'minimum code'. It often feels like a race to just slap it together, send the bill, and move on.And it's frustrating because that just leads to homes that are drafty, uncomfortable, or riddled with mould a few years down the track. It feels like there's no 'soul' in it, and you know clients end up regretting it later.What if you could build a business centred on creating genuinely comfortable, healthy, and high-performance homes... and attract clients who value that difference?In this episode of the Inspired Builders Podcast, we sit down with Jackson Digney, founder of Enduro Builders, who shares his journey and insights on building high-performance, healthy homes. We explore the science behind Passivhaus design and the methodical processes he uses to deliver a better-quality build for his clients.Jackson's story is a must-listen for any builder looking to add more value, get better client outcomes, and build a brand they're truly proud of.You'll learn:- The 5 key pillars that make a home truly high-performance (and why 'airtightness' is the one most builders miss).- How to reframe "energy efficiency" so clients understand the real benefit (hint: it's not just about power bills).- Why a detailed, repeatable pre-construction process (using 3D and VR) builds massive trust and a better project outcome.GUEST DETAILS: Learn more about Jackson Digney & Enduro Builders: https://www.endurobuilders.com.au/ and https://www.instagram.com/endurobuilders/HOSTED BY: The Inspired Builders Podcast is hosted by Bizvideo.
