There's a lot of doom and gloom in the news right now about the Australian budget changes. But for residential builders, there might actually be a silver lining.

The shift in negative gearing and capital gains tax rules is pushing investors toward new builds, and if you're a builder that knows how to deliver them, you could be exactly what the market is looking for right now.

Get positioned correctly and there's a real opportunity to attract a new type of client, build stronger partnerships and grow your pipeline in a direction that the government is actively incentivising.

In this episode of Professional Builders Secrets, Harry Pontikis from Chocolate Money breaks down exactly what the budget changes mean for builders in Australia, and how to take advantage of the opportunity while it's there.

Listen to the full episode to learn how to navigate the current market, attract property investors and make sure your funding is set up before you need it.

The APB Summit 2026 is a wrap, and the theme of Build Your Future has never felt more fitting.

Two days, one room full of building company owners who came ready to think differently about where their businesses are going. The sessions were sharp, the conversations were real, and the energy in that room was something you had to be there to feel.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and committed to building something better. And to our speakers, thank you for giving them the tools to do it.

Most building company owners have no idea what their business is actually worth. Not because they're not interested in what they build every day, but because they already suspect the number won't reflect the years they've put in.

On 25 June (EDT) / 26 June (AEST), APB Co-Founder Russ Stephens is running a 90-minute live session where you'll get a real valuation of your business based on how it runs today, and a 90-day plan to move that number.

Most builders know waste is happening on their job sites. But very few are actually measuring how much it's costing them.

Between material waste, inaccurate cuts, rework, callbacks and extended timelines, the numbers add up fast. And most of it never shows up as a line item, it just quietly eats away at your margin job after job.

Get this under control and you're not just saving money on materials. You're shortening your build times, reducing your fixed costs and protecting the profit you worked hard to build in.

In this episode of Professional Builders Secrets, John Cunningham, Global CEO of Ox Tools, shares how the world's most productive builders think about on-site efficiency, and what every building company owner can do to start tightening things up.

Listen to the full episode to learn how to reduce wastage, improve accuracy on site and build a team that gets it right the first time.

Rod from Frampton Builders builds high-end custom homes in Brisbane. He's also just getting started with AI, and it's already blown his mind.
A job audit that once took a day and a half, wrapped up in under 30 minutes. That's the kind of result that changes how you think about what's possible. We loved hearing this one at the APB Summit.

Multi-generational living is no longer a niche request. It's where the market is heading.

Jenny Li, Head of Client Success and Trend Specialist at WGSN for APAC, brought a forward-looking session to the APB Summit that every builder in the room needed to hear.

Her team forecasts the future of home for architectural and design industries across the region, and the message was clear: flexible layouts and multi-gen living are set to skyrocket in the next two to five years.

Your business grows at the speed of your communication.

That was the thread running through Miroslav Bardovic's session at the APB Summit yesterday. The global keynote speaker and trainer focused on what shifts inside a team, a sales conversation, and a business when the person leading it learns to speak from a place of genuine depth rather than habit or script.

There's a difference between using AI and being AI-first. And for building company owners, that distinction is everything.

Varant Bomoushakian, Head of Operations at APB, brought that message to the APB Summit yesterday. The builders who shift from occasionally using AI tools to thinking with an AI-first mindset are the ones who will pull ahead in the next few years. The competitive advantage builders have been searching for has been hiding in plain sight.
