From professional rugby fields to the building sites of one of the hardest regions to build in, Stephan Van der Walt knows a thing or two about resilience, discipline, and legacy.

In this episode of The Good Builder, we sit down with the owner of Walt Construction to talk about what truly sets great builders apart, and why it has less to do with flashy marketing and more to do with doing the right thing when no one’s watching.

🛠 We unpack:

• How to manage trades the right way (even when it’s tough)
• Why long-term client relationships beat short-term wins
• The builder’s role in sustainability — and why it’s time to lead
• What “certainty” really means in cost and timeline
• Why innovation isn’t always tech — sometimes it’s just better communication

And if you’re a builder doing good things in your local community, we want to hear from you!
