About this listen
The Christmas break is one of the only times builders get real space to think.
Sites slow down. Phones quieten. And for a brief moment, you can step back from the day-to-day and look at how your business actually runs.
In this episode of The Good Builder Podcast, we sit down with ScaleUp Smart to unpack the DAD Framework — Delete, Automate, Delegate — a simple, practical way for builders to reduce overload, protect margin, and set their business up better for the year ahead.
We talk through:
- Why most builders feel busy all year but still feel stuck
- Why deleting work comes before hiring or outsourcing
- What should be automated before adding people
- How to delegate properly without creating more stress
- The BOD model (Building, Operational, Day-to-Day) to decide what stays local and what can be supported offshore
This isn’t about working harder next year.
It’s about using the Christmas break to gain clarity, remove friction, and come back in January knowing exactly where your time creates the most value.
A practical episode for builders who want to build a better business — not just a busier one.
