VesEli where’s the best place to find work like that like where should I advertise I’ve tried newspapers that was no good
Advertising will not help you get work, who ever is choosing builder he wants recommendation.
Once you find a potential client, most likely they will want to visit your completed properties, they want experienced builders, cheap quotes and quality work.It is very difficult out there, my suggestion is, go and get a job as Site Foreman for big building company and get really good experience and knowledge. After 6-7 years you can start your own thing, but don't do it now, you will regret it.
I work with architectural companies, i give them work, and they recommend me as well.
I hardly get any phone calls from advertising, and even if i do, probably someone just needs extra quote to compare.
Where are you based?
Sydney parramatta
The major cities are hard markets to sell into at the moment. Have you considered moving somewhere like Gladstone where there is a alot of construction work happening that would pay very well at the start of your career. Builders can earn $100k there.
Its also a great place to see what is possible for a small development that is very profitable. For example, I am doing a duplex on the back of an existing house, and expect to make $400k+ on it there. If the profit margin is large enough, it costs very little of your own money as you can finance based on the sale value rather than construction cost.
