Bob Whitten is one of the home building industry's most respected financial & business management consultants. With over 70 recurring clients in over 40 states and 4 Canadian provinces, his firm's sweet spot is privately held builders doing 20-250 homes per year; although many have grown larger. Join us for a conversation with one of the industry's most respected financial business management consultants. A lot of people know how to build houses but very few people know how to build good companies.

Show highlights include:

• The "5 Disciplines" that make building a good business easier than building a home (5:42)
• How your business can go belly up even if you have the best systems, fanciest software, and best trucks (7:48)
• How the "pre-construction period" helps you build homes more efficiently and more profitably (9:15)
• The single most important metric for long-term success that has nothing to do with how many houses you build each year (16:59)
• Building or remodeling fewer houses may actually make you more money (17:28)
• One of the biggest risks for custom builders and remodelers is spending too much on overhead and not making enough margin on the jobs we do (14:44)
