You've heard it before...builders burning out, running the business solo, quoting at night and doing payroll on weekends. But when it comes to getting support, most builders don't know what it actually costs. This episode fixes that.
Az is joined again by Anisha and Nayan from Scale Up Smart — and this time, it's all about price. What does it cost to outsource estimating, project management, admin, design and drafting, or marketing coordination? What's the difference between part-time and full-time? Developing level versus mastery? And how does it all stack up against hiring locally in Australia?
Spoiler: the numbers are going to surprise you.
But this episode quickly becomes about more than cost. It's about what builders actually get — vetted staff, three layers of quality assurance, twice-weekly software training, seamless integration into your existing systems, and a structured 90-day onboarding process designed to give you clarity before it gives you results.
From a $330-per-week part-time estimator to a full-time mastery-level project manager at $700 per week, the team walk through every core role and what it delivers. There's also a sneak peek at an upcoming guaranteed marketing package from Scale Up Smart — one Az is very excited about.
