Welcome to the APB Digest! This fortnight you can get a custom analysis of your building company, scored across 11 areas with a market valuation included. Russ is also on the Inspired Builders Podcast talking profit and pricing, and APB has been named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces.
Pinpoint Where Your Company Is Losing Money
Spend 15 minutes on this year’s State of Residential Construction Industry research and you’ll get a report that scores your building company across 11 areas and ranks where you are losing the most money. It includes a market valuation of your company, normally USD$1,500, and the research window closes on November 10.
Price It Right: The Margin Masterclass for Residential Builders (Sydney, in person)
A full day on where residential builders gain or lose margin, and how to protect profit from pricing through to final invoicing. Wunderbuild is hosting a workshop in Darling Harbour on Wednesday 30 September, 9am to 3pm, and APB opens the program with a session on builder profitability and performance.
APB Named One of Australia’s Best Workplaces
Great Place To Work has placed APB at number 18 in the small category of Australia’s Best Workplaces 2026. The list is built from 128,405 confidential employee survey responses, and no company can pay for a position on it.
Russ on Profit and Pricing
Russ joined Corné and JP on the Inspired Builders Podcast to work through the data from APB’s annual industry report. They get into why so many builders end up competing on price, and why high cash flow keeps getting mistaken for profitability.
