What makes a truly good builder? According to Anthony Hickey, Director of Two Tone Constructions, it comes down to four principles, Communication, Collaboration, Consistency, and Care.

In this episode of The Good Builder Podcast, Anthony shares his journey as a third-generation builder, the challenges of a rocky start in his apprenticeship, and how those early setbacks shaped the way he runs his business today.

We discuss:
