The economy’s shaky. Margins are tighter. Clients are more cautious.
And thanks to the builders who’ve gone bust — taking deposits, disappearing mid-project, and leaving disasters behind — trust in the industry is at an all-time low.
These days, clients don’t call you — they RESEARCH you.
They check your website. Scroll your socials.|
If you don’t have a strong online presence that builds trust fast… You don’t even make the shortlist.
Meanwhile, the most profitable builders are adapting.
They’re using AI to launch campaigns, test offers, and dominate their markets at speed.
If you’re not doing the same — you’re falling behind.
That’s why we created the 2025 Growth Summit for Residential Builders.
A 2-day in-person event for growth-minded builders doing $2M–$5M+ who want to scale with confidence — with better systems, better marketing, and a business that doesn’t fall apart without them.

“Recommend you come along if you’re interested in improving and creating better systems for your business. The main thing that TPB has done for me, has been the ability to create free time. I can go away at 3pm and go to rugby and not have to worry and no phone calls. We’ve gone from jobs that are around $500k to ones over $2 million.”
Stu B, Ashburton
“We went from 15% GP with less than 5% net profit, to doing projects at 25% GP. I bought back 80 hours by hiring the right team – now I work 60 hours instead of 100. When we started, we had no systems and I felt overwhelmed. Now, we’re actually succeeding.”
Pete L, Auckland
