Welcome to the APB Digest. This fortnight we look at how to give AI access to your business without losing control of it, and what sets the value of a residential building company. Sky Kolade is also running a free training on building a pipeline that doesn't depend on referrals.
Security is the number one thing stopping builders from going further with AI. APB runs AI agents across its own accounts, CRM and project management every day, and what keeps that safe is controlling exactly what each one can reach.
The phone rings when a past client mentions your name, and goes quiet the moment they stop. Sky Kolade spends 60 minutes on the three shifts that replace referral luck with a pipeline you actually control. 8am AEST Wednesday 7 October, or 6pm EDT Tuesday 6 October.
Builders are the easiest audience for a builder to win. They stop for the detail shots and they comment, but they never hire you.
Plenty of building company owners say they know their numbers. Down to the last cent, every single month, is a different question, and without that detail you'll never know what to fix or what to double down on.
Most builders find out what their company is worth at the worst possible moment, when the number is already fixed. A residential building company is valued at one of three levels, and how much the business depends on you decides which one applies.
