Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#62 Heritage Restoration & The Sea Change with Brett Way - Part 1
Q: What's your approach to hiring and team building?
We hire when the right person comes along rather than forcing roles; early hires are critical and we've learned to empower the right people to make the roles work and retain talent.
#62 Heritage Restoration & The Sea Change with Brett Way - Part 1
Q: What drove the sea-change decision and how did it impact your projects?
Family ties and a key long-term heritage project made the coast natural to move to; having a trusted partner in the other location helped us oversee projects day-to-day with strong local teams.
#62 Heritage Restoration & The Sea Change with Brett Way - Part 1
Q: How did you manage setting up operations in two locations?
We split roles (sales/estimating down the coast, operations in Melbourne) and started a second division to cover Geelong and Bellarine, hiring carefully to maintain alignment and culture across both sites.
#56 Learning the Hard Way: From Winging It to Running a Building Business with Emile Ellens - Part 1
Q: What sets SV Built apart in its market?
A commitment to uncompromised quality, deep client relationships, and a designer-contractor collaboration model that streamlines the journey from design to build, reducing client headaches and delivering high-end, well-constructed homes.
#56 Learning the Hard Way: From Winging It to Running a Building Business with Emile Ellens - Part 1
Q: How did SV Built approach licensing and formal qualifications?
Emile describes taking the builder's license seriously, studying the building code in-depth after failing the first attempt, and leveraging prior hands-on experience to eventually meet the regulatory requirements.
