You don’t have to
do this alone
Too many builders are stuck in survival mode.
They’re juggling projects, chasing payments, answering calls at all hours - and wondering if things will ever feel easier.
If that sounds like you, you’re not alone.
And it doesn’t have to stay that way.
ELEVATE is our coaching program and community built exclusively for Custom Residential Builders who want:
- More control
- More profit
- More time
- More support
- A proven path to success
- And a business that doesn’t consume every hour of your day and every drop of your energy
Because we know you didn’t start your building business to just scrape by.
You’re here to build something better.
ELEVATE is how you do that.
Your coaching, mastermind
and builder community.
All in one.
ELEVATE combines training, mentorship, and community - all designed to help you improve the way you run your business and live your life.
This is not your typical coaching program.
There’s no fluff, and no generic business advice.
This is industry-specific help from subject matter experts and people inside the construction world, who’ve built successful, sustainable and profitable businesses and still work in the industry every day.
Get the tools, the systems, the knowledge and the community you need to create real change - in how you lead, how you work, and how your business performs.
Talk to other builders about where they’re at and the problems they face. Learn from each other. Be there for each other. Inside ELEVATE there’s room for everyone to grow.
Whether you’re just starting out, or years into running your business, ELEVATE meets you where you’re at AND helps you get where you want to go.

We created ELEVATE to give builders the help we wish we had - practical tools, clear guidance and a like-minded community you can lean on.
We're here to help you learn how to run your business smarter, deliver projects you're proud of, and build a team that works together. It's time to create a business that supports the life you actually want to live.
We're out to make the industry better and that starts with you.
The results speak for themselves. ELEVATE has already changed the lives of hundreds of builders. If you’re ready to build something better, we’d love to meet you.

FAQ's
ELEVATE is a monthly membership with a 6-month minimum to kick things off. After that, it just rolls over month to month. If you ever want to cancel after your first 6 months, just give us 30 days' notice.
Prefer to pay annually? You can do that too - and you’ll get one month free. Your membership will renew each year on your sign-up date, and we’ll just need 30 days’ notice if you don’t want it to roll over.
ELEVATE is all online, so you can access it from wherever you are.
Your membership comes with a personal login to our private members’ portal where you’ll find all the training, tools, templates and replays (videos, audio and PDFs all ready to download and use).
We run our live calls via Zoom, and you’ll hear from us regularly by email.
You’ll also be able to chat directly with us and the community in our private Facebook group and Slack channel.
Once you sign up, you’ll get your invoice, a welcome email from us, and all your login details so you can jump straight in.
But we don’t just throw everything at you and hope for the best.
Your first 30 days are all about getting you set up properly, without the overwhelm. It’s a tailored onboarding experience designed to help you hit the ground running and set clear goals for the next 90 days.
Here’s what happens in that first month:
- You’ll get access to a special diagnostic tool to help you figure out exactly where you’re at, and what to focus on next.
- You’ll be able to book a one-on-one call with either Duayne or Amelia to talk through your 90-day goals, so we can support you and keep you accountable.
- You’ll get full access to the PAC Challenge (normally $1350 ex GST), plus PAC-specific systems inside our Systems Library.
- You can jump into any live Zoom calls happening during your first 30 days.
Then, on Day 31, the rest of the ELEVATE membership unlocks including LAUNCHPAD and Build Smarter Fridays (unless you’re already in those).
You can share your course login with team members who work in your business so they can go through the online training too. And your team is more than welcome to join the live Zoom calls we run twice a month.
However, there’s one seat per membership in the Facebook group - that’s where we run our community and coaching support.
If you’d like more of your team to have access to the Facebook group and community, just get in touch - we offer discounted rates on extra memberships.
We get it - sometimes you don’t know if something’s right until you try it.
That’s why you’ve got 30 days to check it out and see if ELEVATE is a good fit for you. If you decide it’s not for you, just email us at [email protected] before your 30 days are up.
We don’t offer refunds on the first month’s payment, but if you choose to step away, you’ll still keep access to the PAC Challenge (which is yours to keep, even if you leave).
After that 30-day window, you’re in for a minimum of six months as part of the membership.
If you’re not sure whether ELEVATE is the right move for you, flick us an email - we’re happy to chat [email protected]
No - and here’s why. We’re on a mission to lift the whole residential building industry by helping more builders run solid, professional businesses. The truth is, when builders stop seeing each other as competition and start doing better together, everyone wins - including your clients. We’re building a community, not a battlefield.
