The Builders Ladder: Business Growth Strategies for Residential Construction Businesses

Epi 175: From Survival Mode to Scaling: What Changed for Marvel Concept Building? (With Chris & Hugo)


Listen Later

Gareth sits down with Chris (Founder) and Hugo (Carpenter/Site Manager) of Marvel Concept Building. Chris shares his raw story of starting the business in 2016, hitting a "really really bad time," and being stuck on a "knife's edge" in "survival mode" for years.

The overwhelm became so "draining" that Chris was ready to "just going to quit". This episode is a deep dive into their turnaround. They discuss Hugo's "massive learning curve" from being on the tools to managing sites , how they stopped information "falling between the cracks" , and how Chris's focus on "becoming a better leader has just changed everything". Now, Chris is able to take his first holiday without being "worried about cash flow or management".
