TheBuildShow

I’ve been trying to find an adequate way to express my feelings about last week. Build Show Live was a week filled with education, amazing show floor, friends, family, growth and more! I’m so thankful to be a part of the Build Family! This huge group of people you see on stage are like family to me. We’re all working hard to try and educate the world about better building. The attendees were building professionals, trades professionals, home owners, DIY, and more! I loved meeting everyone and having great conversations with people from all over the world. I can’t express my gratitude to full extent! For those of you who missed it this year, 2025 is coming up in just 11 months in Dallas Texas! Follow @buildshowlive for more information and I can’t wait to see you all there! For the entire BUILD family, thank you for all of the hard work you put into this amazing show! And huge thanks to all the Build Contributors, it just feels like one big family that I am so proud to be a part of. Last, thank you to all my Utah friends who made the trip to attend this inaugural event! Your support was so great!!

The education sessions for?@buildshowlive?are starting to sell out. Use code GETGOING50 to get $50 off your Education and Expo passes to catch all of these amazing talks. Start by seeing Allyson Anderson with Integro Builders talk Fixed Bid – How to Price Complicated Jobs Certified Passive House Builder Allyson Anderson owns offices in Chicago and Michigan performing multi-million dollar custom home builds. Her projects are architecturally led and her work has been nationally published and internationally recognized. Many custom home builders defer to cost-plus estimating for projects of this scale – Allyson disagrees. She believes projects are best served to both clients and builders as fixed bid contracts. In this session, she will show how she compiled her fixed price bids with confidence and profitability. Then see Breakthrough Academy give two talks. First, The Builder's Guide to Creating an Annual Plan for 2025 If you’ve ever started the year without a clear plan, or a plan that lives entirely in your head, then this session is for you. Sure you’re busier than ever, but is it in the right direction? Don’t miss this complete guide to setting and executing your company goals for 2025 with Benji from Breakthrough Academy. Learn how to clearly communicate your vision to your team so you can predictably create profit, produce more work, and (finally) get out of the day-to-day. (Insider scoop: there’s an industry-proven template!) Followed by Financial Secrets for Builders: How to Plan and Hit Your GP Charting a course for your construction business requires a clear KPI dashboard and clean financial controls. They don’t have to be complicated. But you can’t just hand this off to an accountant, and hope for the best. It's an owner's job to make budgets and cast accurate forecasts. Because it’s on you to make decisions that are best for your team—and all of the families your business supports. If you are a “financial freewheeler,” you’re gambling with your business’s future. Go behind the scenes with Benji at Breakthrough Academy as he shares the secrets for building a simple financial plan so you can improve your cash flow and thrive in lean times.

Then see?@btacademy?talk SOPs for Overwhelmed Owners: How Top Builders Use Simple Systems to Conquer Company Chaos. As a builder, when you’re great at what you do — work floods in … and your operations can turn into a mess. Clients badger you with never-ending requests, Supers keep calling you for simple questions and all the while, your margins give you migraines. There has to be a better way! The solution for scaling builders is to stop charging through your growth like a bull in a china shop. Instead, you need to add structure to your business by intentionally using standard operating procedures (SOPs) and overcoming your biggest headaches. Join Breakthrough Academy as we show you a practical walkthrough of how to build SOPS and what it does to your business behind the scenes
