#46 What Every Builder Learns the Hard Way with Brendan from Envision Building – Part 1
“From dreaming of the skies to building homes on the ground.”
In this episode, we sit down with Brendan from Envision Building — a South Australian builder who went from aspiring pilot to custom home builder in the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula.
Recorded live from the Build Insight Studio in Adelaide, hosts Luke and Dean unpack Brendan’s early beginnings, his first steps into construction, and the lessons he’s learned transitioning from a sole trader to a business owner with a growing team.
You’ll hear how Brendan’s approach to quality craftsmanship, transparency, and continuous learning has shaped Envision’s success — and why coaching, systems, and teamwork are central to his building philosophy.

• The challenges and lessons from his first ever project
• Why early business coaching shaped his mindset for growth
