Thinking about moving into housebuilding? In this episode of the Build Up podcast, we look at what it really takes to make the jump from extensions and renovations to new build homes.

Kev Wilson shares the lessons he learned from taking on housebuilding projects, from checking plots properly to managing utilities, finance and workload. Gill McAteer from Citation also joins us to talk about the people side of growth, including contracts, HR and managing a bigger team.

You’ll learn:

3. How growth changes your role as a business owner
4. Why HR, contracts and team structure matter as you scale
