Prior to working with Andreas Becker, The Builder’s Coach, my husband and I were running a construction business in North Canterbury. We thought the business was going well and profit was also good. However, when Andreas dissected our business, we found that we were not actually operating at maximum capacity and we lacked systems and processes. As a result, we systemised every aspect of our business, from employing staff to handover of builds. He has also guided and enabled us to form a property portfolio through investing in rental properties.
Since working with Andreas, I have taken on the General Management and Sales role in the business. We have now completely systemised Craig Brown Construction, we have excellent sales systems in place and we are now making much better profit. His help and support has been invaluable. During our regular coaching sessions he checks where we are stuck and then shows us the best way to get it done. I find it particularly helpful getting access to his examples and templates. He moved us from builders to business people.
In addition to improving our main construction business I have personally started two new businesses with Andreas’ assistance. One is NZ Granny Flats, where we specialise in building high spec, low maintenance secondary dwellings at fixed pricing. The other is “The Builder’s Boss”, which, is a complete construction operating manual for builders. Instead of a builder developing their own operation manual they can now simply purchase The Builders Boss and very easily adapt that to their business. Any builders who want to get their business in shape should speak to Andreas and find out how he can help - it will be an excellent investment.

Hi Andreas
Please see below our testimonial for you. Let me know if it is ok.
We were fortunate enough to be invited to a free seminar where Andreas was a guest speaker. My business partner and I contemplated if Andreas could help us with our medium sized building company of 20 employees. We bit the bullet and decided to give him a shot.
We couldn’t be happier with this decision as Andreas is a great guy who has extreme passion to achieve greatness. He is motivational and since putting his plan in place, we have noticed immediate changes within our company. We are only a few months in working with Andreas and already our whole company vision is clearer, more achievable and we are making the steps towards reaching our goals.
Our staff also loved the team building workshop that Andreas ran and found it very beneficial.
We cannot speak more highly of Andreas and what he can help people achieve for their businesses.
Kind regards
Andrew Breward

Andreas has been a business mentor for my Health and Safety business for the past 3 months and I give him the highest recommendation possible. He is extremely knowledgeable, goal driven and is absolutely full of ideas – exactly what I needed from a business coach. I was impressed by his ability to get down to business and to quickly identify easy improvements to give measurable success.
Andreas was able to help me refine my services and pricing which was something I struggled with prior to working with him. His honest feedback and expertise enabled us to quickly refine our offerings and add more value to our packages.
I highly recommend Andreas to any tradie serious about building their business.

We initially engaged Andreas from the Builders Coach 2 years ago to assist us in fine tuning our marketing which wasn’t working as planned.
Since then Andreas has successfully guided us through a multitude of other business related issues including systemisation, staff motivation and performance, succession planning, goal setting and targets, and the biggy - online marketing.
Andreas has always been professional and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in so many areas that we clearly don’t but need. We unreservedly recommend his service to all small to medium sized business operators who are motivated to grow and profit from their business.
Don’t be afraid to try something new, you may actually enjoy it. We were out of our comfort zone at first but have never looked back.
