The blueprint 7 and 8 figure tradie bosses use:

  • A crew that gets it right without you checking
  • Quotes out in work hours, and follow-ups that happen
  • Your day on the numbers, on top of costs and profit
  • Evenings with the kids instead of the laptop
  • Weekends that are yours again

What changes when it doesn't all run through you

Every step here only works once the one before it does. That's why "just hire someone" never fixes it on its own.

  1. You build a crew you can actually trust

    The standard written down, numbers they own, and the authority to make the call on site. Work gets done right the first time, so nothing comes back and nobody needs chasing.

  2. You hand over what never needed you

    Half of what's on your plate is only yours because nobody was ever shown how. That comes off first.

  3. Quotes go out in work hours

    You're not on the tools all day, so pricing happens while the office is open instead of at nine at night. Speed to quote is the difference between winning a job and being the third bloke who replied.

  4. Follow-ups actually get done

    The cheapest lift in any trade business. Same leads, same ad spend, more jobs won, because someone finally picks up the phone on day three.

  5. Your time goes on the numbers

    Costs, margins, which jobs make money and which quietly don't. On top of it weekly instead of finding out at tax time.

  6. You get your life back

    Dinner with the kids instead of the laptop. Weekends that are yours. And a business that's still growing while you're at the beach.

Why thirty minutes with Luke is worth it

Thirty minutes, free, and genuinely useful whether or not you ever work with him. Most owners think they need better tradesmen. Usually they need to stop being the only one who can carry it.

A blueprint, not a pitch

You leave knowing why the job still needs you on it, what to hand over first, and what six months looks like from there. Yours to keep whether or not we work together.

A tradie, not a consultant

Four trade businesses built and scaled himself, from landscaping to an eight-figure court builder. The same crews, quotes and cash-flow headaches you've got.

He's done it himself

Four trade businesses and 50 staff, and he isn't on the tools in any of them. If he can't help you do the same, you'll know inside ten minutes.

Why your crew still needs you

Most blokes blame the hiring market. It's usually that nobody's been given the standard, the numbers and the authority to actually own the job.

It pays for itself

Stepping back costs money, so it comes out of margin you're not making yet. If you go further, the first paid session is guaranteed to find at least $100,000 of opportunity, or you get your money back.

Proven, not theory

2023 Melbourne and Australian Young Entrepreneur of the Year, with $100M+ generated across the businesses he's built.

“I spent two and a half years with another coaching mob and still felt like I was stuck on the tools. One session with Luke completely changed the way I looked at the business. Within months I was spending less time on the tools, getting my evenings back and finally taking proper weekends off. The funny thing is the business is making more money, but it feels like I’m working less. I actually look forward to Monday now.” Wayne — electrician, Yarra Valley

Who you'll be talking to

Luke didn't come up through consulting and he's never worked in a bank. He was driving ambulances, the job was wrecking him, so he went and started something of his own.

First a landscaping business from nothing to seven figures, then a second. Then roofing, to multiple seven figures. Then DreamCourts, scaled to multiple eight figures and one of the largest court builders in the country. In 2023 that got him named Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Melbourne first, then nationally.

Four businesses, different trades, different crews. And underneath every one, the same handful of numbers deciding whether you make money or just stay busy. That's what he brings to your thirty minutes.

As seen on

Four seasons on Australia's biggest reno show.

When The Block needs a court that has to look perfect on camera and hold up long after the cameras leave, they've called Luke's team four seasons running. That's the standard he brings to the numbers in your business too.

The businesses he built first

Every coach in this game says they've been in the trenches. Here's the proof.

Landscaping

Built two of them from nothing, both to seven figures.

Roofing

Built and scaled to multiple seven figures.

DreamCourts

Founded it and scaled it to multiple eight figures. Nationwide, 50 staff, market leader in the category.

Work through those businesses has put him alongside adidas, Nike, Foot Locker, Ford, the AFL and the NFL. Different worlds, the same numbers underneath.

The company he keeps — a few of the people he's built for and shared a stage with.

What it's done for tradie owners like you

Different trades, same trap: everything runs through the owner. All figures and quotes are their own.

Electrical

Eight on the tools down to three, and fewer days on site

Found in month one
$164,000 the business had already earned and never billed for.
What it bought him
A smaller crew he could actually rely on, and his days back.
Then the crew
Eight on the tools going backwards, restructured to three — now making more than the eight ever did.

$310,000profit up, on the same turnover

“The crazy part is we’re making another $310k in profit on basically the same turnover, but I’m working fewer days. I’m home earlier, I’ve got my weekends back and I’m not waking up at 5am thinking about the business. I honestly didn’t realise how much the business was running my life until it stopped.”Mason P — electrician
Custom home building

Grew $7M without hiring another body

What changed
No extra staff, no extra builds — the money came out of how the business was already running.
Two years on
$14M to $21M turnover with profit nearly tripled, and not a single new hire. The team carried the growth, not the owner.

$740,000extra profit inside a year

“I thought the business was running pretty well. Turns out I’d built myself a very well-paid job. Luke found $740,000 sitting in the business and, more importantly, showed me how to get out of the day-to-day. I’m not answering calls at night, I’m not working every Saturday and I can actually go away without the business falling over. For the first time, I actually enjoy owning the business.”Tim C — custom home builder
Fencing & gates

Got his nights back off the quoting

What changed
Quote conversion went from roughly 1 in 14 to 3 in 5, without spending another dollar on advertising. Quoting is the job that keeps most owners at the kitchen table at nine at night. His gets done in work hours now.
Then the margin
19% to 28% in seven months, while cutting $126,000 a year of spend he didn't need.

$270,000extra in the bank

“I was about to throw another $10k+ a month into advertising because I thought we just needed more leads. Luke showed me the real problem wasn’t leads — it was what was happening inside the business. We saved $126k a year, tripled the profit and I stopped having to spend every night catching up on paperwork and chasing jobs. The biggest win? I can knock off and actually be present with my family.”Jason M — fencing & gates

Questions

Is this just a sales call?

No. It's a genuine strategy session. You'll leave knowing what's keeping you on the tools and the first moves to change it, whether or not you ever work with Luke. If it makes sense to go further, he'll show you how that works. If it doesn't, he'll tell you straight.

What do I need to prepare?

Nothing. Just come with a rough idea of your numbers — turnover, roughly what you're taking home, how the work comes in. No pre-work, no spreadsheets, no homework.

Who's it for?

Australian trade business owners turning over $1M or more who are sick of being the one everything runs through. Builders, sparkies, plumbers, landscapers, roofers — the numbers underneath are the same in every trade.

What happens if we work together after?

The first paid session is the deep dive — ninety minutes with your numbers on the table, guaranteed to find at least $100,000 of opportunity or you get your money back. The free strategy session is where you work out whether that's a fit.

How long does it take?

Thirty minutes. That's it.

Off the tools starts with one call.

Thirty minutes, free, no pitch. We work out why it all still runs through you, and what it takes to change that — so you're running the business instead of holding it up. You leave with the blueprint whether or not we work together.
