What happens when a construction company hits £5 million a year… and still collapses?

In this new episode of Construction Secrets, Quantum CEO Raine Gerber sits down with Greg Wilkes, the builder-turned-business-coach helping thousands of construction owners escape burnout, regain control, and build companies that actually scale.

They dive deep into the real issues construction owners face every day:

Why hustle culture is killing your business
The financial mistakes that kill profit on every project
Why monthly P&Ls aren’t enough to save you
The power of phase tracking instead of just job-level margins
How systems and structure beat stress and chaos
Why most builders fail to grow past the “busy and broke” stage
Greg’s mission to help 10,000 builders a year transform their business

If you’re a subcontractor, builder, or construction business owner who wants more profit, more control, and more time with your family, this is required listening.
