Join us this week on the Better Builder podcast with Dan Hawke-Mills, Co-Director of Downright Construction. Dan offers a transparent look at navigating the building world, admitting he and his partner spent the first few years "winging it" and lacked fundamental business systems. He shares how his past as a competitive bodybuilder instilled the discipline and determination required to push through the current economic slowdown, even if it meant taking on smaller jobs that "hurt the ego a bit." This episode dives deep into the strategic choice of partner specialisation, with one off the tools for business and one on-site for productivity, and the importance of investing in coaching to grow the company's financial knowledge and pursue the ultimate goal of moving into spec builds and property flips.
