FUTURE

We identified that there are plenty of skilled builders out there, who are amazing craftspeople but were never taught the skills required to run a business. We help turn your valuable skills into a business that provides for you and your family now and well into the future.

Marketing and sales are tough for most builders as they are too busy on the tools to focus on it. These days, it’s hard to get seen online. Everyone’s fighting to get on the first page, and builders are tripping over each other trying to stand out.

If you don’t market yourself consistently and have a sales funnel bringing in steady leads, your business won’t survive.

Benefit from our national and local marketing campaigns, which drive leads and build brand awareness. Our marketing strategies are designed to target the right customers and generate a steady stream of inquiries, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent service.

Our tailored marketing attracts your ideal clients from the start.
• Our team manages everything for you, keeping you up to date
• You will have access to a dedicated marketing manager who will work with you to create a marketing plan with your local area in mind.
• Annual marketing plans target the best potential clients.
• Collective marketing fund for broad reach, including buses, billboards, and digital ads.
• Regular performance reports and adjustments for optimal results.

Marketing and sales are some of the most difficult things for builders to manage. It’s all about talking and connecting with people, and many builders simply don’t have the time. However, unless you do this – and understand the importance of a ‘sales funnel’, your business simply cannot survive.

Let’s face it – business is about making money.

You need to understand the numbers, be confident in your cash flow, and know which reports to check and how to read them.

Our Growth and Support team delivers start-up and ongoing software training for all franchise partners.
• Regular quarterly performance reporting
• Built-in margin analysis to support confident, sustainable growth
• Licence checks to ensure compliance
• Guidance and support to help you expand to the next level
• One-on-one coaching to address specific business challenges
• Access to updated tools and features as software evolves
• Best-practice sharing from top-performing franchise partners
• Assistance with interpreting data to make informed business decisions

Time’s the one thing you never get back. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Every builder wants more time for the things they enjoy, but in business, that only happens when you manage your time properly.

The key is systems. From the first client call to handing over the keys, every step should be systemised.

That’s what gets you off the tools and into growing your business.

Smith & Sons franchisees have access to an easy-to-use, cloud-based construction software.
• Initial and ongoing software training is provided
• Ongoing support and advice
• Includes quoting
• Estimating
• Graphic take-off
• Scheduling
• Job management functionality

Where did it all go?!? Do you realise time is the only commodity in the world you can never get back? Once it’s gone – it’s gone! We all want time to do the things we enjoy – that’s why it is so important to manage our time effectively in a building and renovation business. It’s called time management – and the only way to do that is with efficient systems and tools to help you run your business. From the first time a client calls about a new renovation, to when you hand over the key, all processes should be systemised.

Staff, marketing, procedures, trades, operations – there needs to be systems around all these things. This is what allows you as a business owner to get off the tools and start growing the business. Plus, systems give you more time to do the things YOU want to do. If you do what you have to now, you can do what you want to later, that’s the way it goes.

A Smith & Sons renovation franchise gives you the systems to save you time and make your business run effectively.

It’s easy to get comfortable when things are going well. Work’s steady, you’re paying the bills, and life feels fine. But the future always arrives faster than you think. One day you’re asking yourself how long you can stay on the tools, or what happens if an injury, illness, or financial shock forces you to stop sooner than planned.

The smart move is to act now. Don’t look back wishing you’d done something earlier. Build a business that keeps paying you even when you’re not swinging a hammer.

A Smith & Sons renovation franchise gives you a proven way to future-proof your income, step off the tools, and look after your family for the long term.

A Smith & Sons renovation franchise gives you a proven way to future-proof your income, step off the tools, and look after your family for the long term.

We’re all guilty of being complacent about the future. Things are going well, so we just cruise along happily. The problem is, the ‘future’ can hit us a lot quicker than we expected. All of a sudden, you’re wondering how you can support yourself and your family without being on the tools until you’re 70! Not to mention the fact that things like financial crises, global pandemics, injury or illness can cause the ‘future’ to be forced on us much earlier than we expected.

So, why not do something about it now? Rather than look back and think about what you should have done, put the wheels in motion now. Things might be going fine now – you’ve got leads, some good contracts, you’re physically fit and paying your bills. But will it always be that way?

A Smith & Sons renovation franchise helps you build a sustainable business that generates income long after you put down the tools. It’s a way to future-proof your income and look after your family well into the future.
