In this episode, Greg Wilkes breaks down the five core systems every construction firm needs to scale smoothly from £1 million to £5 million — without the owner running on fumes. Drawing on the frameworks he installs in his own companies and those of his coaching clients, Greg shows how the right tech-plus-process combo turns day-to-day chaos into predictable profit.
🔹 Key topics covered
✅ Lead Management – ditch the diary scraps and build a CRM that captures, nurtures and auto-follows every enquiry
✅ Quoting & Job Approval – why outsourced estimating, square-metre benchmarks and one-click approvals protect margin and speed
✅ Project Management – when Asana is enough, when to step up to Buildertrend or Procore, and the daily logs that stop overspend
✅ Document & Communication Control – centralised cloud storage, Slack channels and SOPs that keep teams and clients aligned
✅ Finance & Cash Flow – fast invoicing, realistic 12-week forecasts and the “progress-payment ladder” that ends cash crunches
✅ Bonus – a quarterly review ritual to refine systems before small cracks become profit-draining gaps
If you’re juggling sticky notes, late quotes and mystery margins, this playbook will help you regain control, win the right work and scale with confidence. Plug the gaps, follow the frameworks and watch your construction business grow — sustainably. 🎧🔨
