When it comes to growing your building business, word of mouth still matters – and building the right network can open doors. 

In this episode of the Build Up podcast, hosts David Gutierrez and Aidan Cropper are joined by Nik Nelberg of Earl & Calam Design and Build Ltd to explore how creating a strong community around your business can help you win more work, expand your skills,

and connect with the right clients. 

The builders discuss growing their networks through collaboration, training, and trade groups like the FMB – and learn how you can do the same, no matter what stage your business is at. 

🎯 You’ll learn: 

• Why community building is good for business 
• How collaboration can help you scale 
• Practical ways to grow your network locally and online 
• Why peer learning is just as valuable as formal training 
• How to make networking part of your brand
