Build real momentum in week one by focusing on one working system, not everything at once.
This module orients you inside the course and the app, maps BuilderBuddi to your workflow, and gives you a practical 7-day sprint to create early momentum.
Outcome: You know exactly which lever to pull first and you have a weekly rhythm for keeping progress visible.
Business Foundations
Build the decision framework and minimum systems that let your trade skills actually run a business instead of just running you.
This module shifts your operating mindset from tradesperson-only thinking to business operator decisions — covering job acceptance logic, the four core business engines, margin awareness, and minimum systems.
Outcome: You operate from clear rules and a weekly rhythm instead of reacting to whoever called last or whichever job is loudest.
Pricing and Quoting
Build a pricing structure and quoting system that protects margin, wins more work, and creates fewer disputes.
The most commercially critical module in the course. Covers pricing from real inputs, separating cost layers correctly, eliminating the six mistakes that kill margin, quoting faster without lowering standards, handling price objections confidently, and writing scope that prevents disputes.
Outcome: Your quotes are structured, defensible, and faster to produce — and you stop dropping price when you do not need to.
Finding and Winning Clients
Stop relying on luck for your next job. Build a simple system for consistent lead flow, fast follow-up, and winning quotes on the right work.
Covers lead source analysis, standard enquiry handling, quoting speed advantage, referral and review systems, and trust-building communication that wins jobs before price is even discussed.
Outcome: You know exactly where your work comes from, you respond to leads faster than competitors, and your post-job referral process generates predictable new work.
Running the Job Properly
Deliver every job cleanly — with clear scope, proactive change management, and solid records that protect you and impress clients.
Covers site notes and pre-start planning, handling changes and surprises, managing client expectations on site, and a professional handover that triggers payment and earns reviews.
Outcome: Every job you deliver has a pre-start confirmation, documented variations, a professional handover, and an invoice sent on completion day.
Getting Paid
Protect your cash flow with deposits, progress payments, and a professional invoice process that gets money in without awkward chasing.
Covers deposit policy implementation, progress payment milestone structuring, and a professional three-stage late-payment follow-up system.
Outcome: You have a deposit policy in your quote template, a progress payment structure for larger jobs, and a three-stage follow-up sequence for overdue invoices.
Reputation and Repeat Work
Build a professional reputation that generates reviews, referrals, and repeat clients without expensive marketing.
Covers professionalism signals across every client touchpoint, Google review collection systems, and a referral momentum loop that turns completed jobs into predictable future work.
Outcome: You have a systematic review collection process, a post-job referral ask, and a 3-month check-in habit that keeps your best clients visible to you.
Growth and Teaming
Scale your capacity responsibly — know when to subcontract, how to manage subbies, and how to protect your margin and reputation when others work under your name.
Covers the subcontracting decision framework, vetting subcontractors, protecting margin on subcontracted work, and managing quality when others work under your name.
Outcome: You have a decision framework for subcontracting, a margin protection discipline for subcontracted jobs, and written agreements with your subbies.
BuilderBuddi Tools and Implementation
Master the BuilderBuddi tools that run your business — from quotes to jobs, invoices, and a weekly routine that keeps everything visible.
Covers quote template setup and line-item libraries, the jobs–invoices–money loop, and the weekly BuilderBuddi rhythm that makes the platform your real operating system.
Outcome: You have quote templates set up, a clean jobs–invoices loop in place, and a 15-minute weekly rhythm that runs your business from BuilderBuddi.
Routes, Compliance, and Development
Navigate licensing, compliance, and professional development routes for trade contractors — know what you need, what you do not, and how to grow.
Covers contractor compliance fundamentals — licensing, insurance, tax registration — and closes the course with a 90-day business development planning process.
Outcome: You have a current compliance checklist with renewal reminders, and a written 90-day business plan with three specific implementation priorities.
