Watch first

Hear from Reon, a builder who made the leap

Reon Paterson has been in the building industry for 30 years. After running his own franchise and then leading Smith & Sons operations across Australia, he's now the NZ Master Franchisee, and his mission is to help good builders build better businesses.

Meet your team

Builders first, business people second

Reon and Jo Paterson run Business for Builders day to day. Reon spent years on the tools before building his own franchise, then led Smith & Sons operations across Australia. He gets the trade because he's lived it.

When you reach out, you talk to them, not a call centre.

Sound familiar?

The younger builder

Thinking about going out on your own?

It's a big step. No brand behind you, no systems, no one to call when things go sideways. Most builders who go solo figure it out the hard way, or don't figure it out at all.

There's a smarter way.

The established owner

Running a building company on your own?

You're quoting, managing jobs, chasing invoices, trying to market yourself, and probably doing all of it without much help. Meanwhile, your business only works when you do.

What happens when you want to step back?

That's exactly what Smith & Sons was built to solve.

What our franchise owners say

Before Smith & Sons I was doing everything myself and barely making headway. Now I've got a brand people know, leads coming in, and a business I'm actually proud of.

Franchise Owner, [Region]

The support from Reon and the team is like nothing else I've had in 15 years of building. I'm not just another number, they actually want to see you win.

Michael & Haylee Woulfe
Franchise Owners, [Region]

I was sceptical about franchising at first. Now two years in, I've got more work than I can handle and a business worth something. Best decision I ever made.
