30 Oct Builders Going Bust: Why Finding the Right Partner Matters More Than Ever.
The current building industry climate is challenging, with around 200 building businesses closing each week across Australia. From liquidation to regulatory closures, or simply walking away, many builders are struggling to survive in today’s landscape. In ProBuilder’s 35th year of continuous operation, it’s evident why resilience and adaptability are now essential to staying afloat. A systemised, financially transparent approach is proving to be key for those who intend to succeed.
Building Stability in a Changing Industry
In a market where margins are tight and the unexpected is constant, running a stable building business requires more than skilled craftsmanship. Success today relies on meticulous planning, precise cost management, and open communication with both staff and clients. Understanding the exact costs required to keep a project moving—before and during every phase—protects both the business and the client.
ProBuilder, for instance, places emphasis on defining project budgets accurately from the outset, putting serious effort into pricing projects with transparency. Once a project is in motion, costs are monitored closely with advanced technology that enhances accuracy and efficiency. This systemised approach helps keep the entire team aligned on goals and timelines, ensuring that all parts of the project are executed in a manner that meets client expectations.
The Project Plan: An Essential Tool for Success
A detailed project plan not only keeps the builder’s team on track but also brings the client’s vision into reality as planned. Every ProBuilder project begins with a Discovery Meeting, where details are mapped out well before the build starts. Months, sometimes even a year, before construction kicks off, the project plan acts as a roadmap that lays out each day’s tasks, design elements, and team responsibilities.
Each project’s blueprint is communicated to the team so they understand the day-by-day breakdown of what’s expected. Collaboration with the onsite team, particularly carpenters, ensures everyone is not just informed but engaged in the build. Input is valued, and new ideas are welcomed to refine the process, allowing the project to benefit from both experience and innovation.
Choosing the Right Builder
Now, more than ever, choosing the right builder is essential for homeowners. The current volatility of the market can be daunting, and trusting a builder with the resources, experience, and integrity to manage these challenges is critical. When seeking a builder, look for those with a proven track record, clear communication, and a commitment to systemised project management.
In these times, confidence in a builder’s approach can make all the difference. The right builder will not only ensure the project stays on track but will also stand as a reliable partner, guiding clients through every step, from initial ideas to a finished home that meets all expectations.
