Jake Gorry (Director of Proline Metal Cladding) – Jimmy Talks Construction
In Episode 39 of Jimmy Talks Construction, Jimmy sits down with Jake Gorry, founder and director of Proline Group — one of Australia’s fastest-growing cladding and façade contractors.
Jake shares his journey from starting as a young carpenter working with his dad, to building a multi-division business delivering large-scale commercial cladding projects across Melbourne.
The conversation dives deep into how Proline identified an opportunity in architectural metal cladding, mastered a niche skillset, and scaled from small residential jobs into working with Tier 1 builders on major projects.
Jake breaks down the realities of building a construction business from the ground up — from cash flow challenges and early mistakes, to hiring, culture, and managing rapid growth across multiple sites and teams.
Jimmy and Jake also discuss:
- How Proline grew from small jobs into major commercial projects
- The importance of cash flow and getting paid fast
- Why culture is everything when scaling a construction business
- The risks and rewards of backing yourself in business
- Lessons from hiring, firing, and working with friends and family
- Why delivering bad news quickly builds long-term trust
- The transition from on-the-tools to running a large operation
- How systems, training, and leadership drive sustainable growth
This episode is packed with insights for contractors, business owners, and anyone looking to scale within the construction industry.
