Ever notice how the "level playing field" of modern tech is making every building business look exactly the same?

What if you could make a prospect feel like they’re already building with you before you’ve even set foot on site?

In this episode of the Inspired Builders Podcast, we sit down with JP and Andre to discuss the future of the Australian building industry.

We explore the looming "AI takeover" and why the builders who thrive in the next three years won't be the ones with the best software, but the ones with the best stories.

This conversation is a must-listen for any builder looking to protect their margins and build a brand that resonates on an emotional level.

You’ll learn:
- The "Level Playing Field" Trap: Why having great systems and AI is no longer a competitive advantage, but just the "entry fee" to stay in business.
- The Steve Jobs Secret: Why the storyteller is the most powerful person in any industry and how to apply that to your next project walkthrough.
- The "Human Element" Framework: How to use your unique pillars to handle on-site challenges in a way that actually builds more trust with your clients.

Isn't it frustrating when you've spent six months quoting a massive architectural project, only for the client to pull the pin at the very last second?
Or when your best supervisor hands in their notice right as your busiest season kicks off? It feels like you’re taking one step forward and two steps back.
What if you could look at every site disaster, every lost contract, and every difficult conversation as the exact fuel you need to grow a better, more profitable business?

We explore the powerful "Good" framework and how Australian builders are using it to de-risk their businesses, refine their quoting, and build stronger relationships with architects, even when things go wrong.
This episode is a must-listen for any builder looking to build a resilient mindset and turn daily obstacles into long-term opportunities.

You'll learn:
- How to apply the "Jocko" mindset to the Australian building site, why saying "Good" to a project manager quitting might be the best thing for your systems.
- The secret to winning against "Veteran" builders, how being the underdog allows you to out-prepare, out-think, and out-communicate the competition.
- Turning "Bad News" into client trust, the technique for handling massive variations and asbestos finds in a way that actually strengthens your brand.

Ever notice how clients come to you with plans that are way over their budget?
Turns out there's a massive problem in our industry: 80% of plans that get drawn never actually get built.
That disconnect between design and pricing is costing everyone – builders, designers, and clients – time, money, and endless frustration.

In this episode, JP sits down with Ray from Story Lab who's pioneered a radical solution: builder-led design.
Ray's background is unique. He started in his dad's building company at 14, did his apprenticeship, worked as an estimator, then moved into design.
That builder's perspective changed everything about how he approaches design projects.

His approach? Get the builder involved in the FIRST conversation with the client, before any plans get drawn.
Set realistic budget expectations upfront.
Design within those parameters.
The result? 75% of his plans proceed to construction (compared to the industry average of 20%).
In this conversation, Ray reveals:
- Why the traditional design-first approach is fundamentally broken
- The exact process for involving builders from day one- How to have those critical budget conversations early
- Real examples of rescuing projects stuck in the "over-budget" cycle
- Why bespoke new homes are often more cost-effective than renovations
- Fascinating technology (3D scanning with 10 million dimensions) that's improving accuracy- How to build better relationships between builders and designers
