In this episode we talk about:
- Brad grew up in Canberra NSW, as the son of a hard-working single dad who owned a small business / lawn mowing company.
- Although he had goals to become a panel beater, he decided to go down the carpentry path for the lifestyle outside.
- The entry to construction came in the form of an apprenticeship in Cabinet making.
- After several years in carpentry, Brad decided to step out on his own and started ‘Trend Building Solutions’ at the age of 23.
- At the beginning, Brad started with real-estate maintenance and naturally progressed into building homes full time.
- The construction industry in Canberra in the current climate and, the public service requirements and government funding for those projects.
- The challenge of sourcing materials and the increase in steel frame construction.
- Working in the cold months, managing a small team and working through the unexpected events.
- Canberra is generally based on rates when it comes to pricing and pricing at a per metre rate and how this is calculated.
- Emerging trends in metal cladding in Canberra.
- Marketing, collaboration and the strong word-of mouth benefits in Canberra.
- The process of acquiring a building licence in Canberra and surrounding area.
- Outside of work, Brad enjoys Rugby League and this year has started coaching his 5-year-old son’s team.
- Brad’s reflections on his career and his advice to a ‘young Brad’.
