What an incredible day at the Build & Scale Summit 2026 in London, hosted by Develop Coaching and Greg Wilkes.

Not only was the event packed with inspiration, innovation, and forward-thinking ideas for construction business owners, but I was also completely surprised and honoured to receive an award! 🏆

The technology, systems, and strategies we’ve seen today have been genuinely impressive. Greg and his team are doing amazing work to help construction businesses grow, improve, and embrace the future of our industry.

If you’re a construction business owner looking to scale your business, improve your processes, and connect with like-minded people, I would highly recommend attending future events.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making today such a success.

If you’d like to know more about the summit or my experience, feel free to send me a DM.

Top tips for business owners — Part 1

When you’re struggling, ask for help.

It sounds simple, but it is one of the hardest things to do when you are running a business.

You can feel like you should already know the answer. You can feel embarrassed that you are stuck. You can convince yourself that everyone else has it all figured out.

They don’t.

Everybody needs help with something.

So start by saying out loud what you need.

It might be someone already in your current circle. It might be someone you have worked with before. It might be an old boss, a mentor, another business owner, or someone you meet in a networking room.

But people cannot help you if they do not know what you are struggling with.

The moment you start telling people what you need, you start to realise you are not on your own. Support starts to appear. Conversations happen. Advice comes. You learn. You connect with people who can help you move forward.

And yes, once you solve that problem, another one will probably appear.

But that is business.

You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to be brave enough to ask for help with the next step.

Most property investment companies source the deal and then hire someone else to do the build.

We don’t. We are the build.

Twenty-five years of construction sits behind every deal we recommend. That means we know what a property will cost to develop before we ever ask you to back it. We know which trades will deliver. We know what can go wrong, because we’ve seen it.

The people sourcing your deal and the people building it are the same people. There’s no handover.

That’s why investors come to us.

Meet Jordan, one of our two site managers.

The site manager is one of the most important roles on any project, but it’s also one of the roles clients don’t always see in full.

They’re the person keeping everything moving.

Coordinating trades. Speaking with clients. Ordering materials. Solving problems before they become bigger problems. Making sure everyone knows where they need to be, what they need to do, and what they need to do it with.

It takes technical knowledge, people skills, organisation, patience, and the ability to put all of that into action every single day.

Think 100 calls a day, constant questions, quick decisions, changing priorities, clients needing updates, trades needing materials, and a build that still needs to stay on track.

A good site manager is the difference between a project that feels chaotic and one that runs smoothly.

We thought it was time you met Jordan properly, so we sat him down for a couple of quick questions.

Bricklaying is now well underway on this substantial rear extension in Harrogate - and this is the stage where the transformation really starts to come to life.

With the footprint taking shape, you can already see how dramatically this space is going to open up the home, creating a huge, light-filled living area designed around the client’s incredible vision for the finished result.

This is going to be a stunning transformation and we honestly can’t wait to see it progress over the coming weeks. Plenty more updates to come as this exciting build continues.

Decision overload is real in construction and it hits hardest when you are not prepared for it.

One of the biggest things we see is people wanting to get on site and start digging before the planning is properly in place. It feels exciting, it feels like progress, but skipping that stage costs you so much more in the long run.

Get your planning right first. Work with the right architect. We work closely with RIBA architects who really know their stuff and the difference it makes to a project from day one is huge.

Fail to plan, plan to fail.

We received an email yesterday from a potential customer:

“We’ve had four other quotes come in between £60,000 and £70,000. If you can match that, we’re happy to move forward.”

The project?
A 6x4m extension with:
– large Structural steels
– Aluminium sliding doors
– Underfloor heating
– A large rooflight
– And the high-end finish you’d expect on paper.

But here’s the truth:
We’ve costed this type of project many times. We track every job we do — not just estimates, but real labour, materials, and profit margins. And the only way we could deliver this for £60–70k would be to lose money.

So why are builders pricing like this?

1️⃣ Because they estimate based on “rough ballparks,” not detailed breakdowns.
2️⃣ Because they feel they have to undercut to win work.
3️⃣ Because they don’t track costs — so they don’t even know when they’re losing money… until it’s too late.

And then what happens?

They start robbing Peter to pay Paul. Jobs overlap. Sites are left half-done. Delays mount. Customers are left wondering what went wrong.
Last winter, we took on four rescue jobs where the original builder just walked off site — no windows, no explanation. I still can’t believe this is happening in 2025!

We price honestly and build with integrity. If that means we don’t win every job, so be it. We’re not in a race to the bottom — we’re here to do it properly, for customers who value quality, service, and peace of mind.

We’ve built a reputation in North Leeds for being the builders who actually turn up, finish on time, and care about every detail.

If you’re looking for that kind of team — we’re ready when you are.
