PARTNERS IN YOUR SUCCESS

Our partners The Better Business Group has contributed to the guide. BBG has been helping builders since 1995. They know what makes good companies busy, successful and profitable. They can help firms avoid the common pitfalls of under-pricing to keep the diary full, unpaid final payments, and low profits.

They would look at every aspect of your business and compare you with more established and profitable companies. They then obtain feedback from your customers about you and your competitors. This information is used to mentor you to become more successful. If you want, they can actively work with you on every one of your new enquiries to help you win them at the right price.

Simon and Mark at BBG always recommend HBXL’s EstimatorXpress to properly nail the process of charging the true cost of a job and achieving the profit you deserve.
