Meet Dylan Martin from Absolute Design Build, a third-generation builder in Austin, Texas. Starting his career in construction after a stint in the military and a brief foray into the corporate world, Dylan faced numerous challenges without a mentor. His turning point came after joining forces with his partner, Thomas, and later adding a third partner, John. Their combined expertise led to the rapid growth of Absolute Design Build, with their first year's cash flow hitting $1.2 million and subsequent years seeing significant increases. Dylan's approach to business focuses on transparency, effective systems, and a strong company culture, aiming to offer exceptional home renovation services while ensuring both his team and clients are well-supported. As he plans for the future, Dylan envisions a sustainable business model that allows for both personal and professional growth, setting a course for a balanced life beyond construction.
