The Build Line is the construction business podcast for contractors, remodelers, and builders who are done figuring it out the hard way.
Hosted by Heather Tankersley, co-owner of a luxury residential remodeling company, and Jerry Brewer, a veteran drywall subcontractor with decades in the trades. Every episode is a real conversation about what it actually takes to build a profitable construction business.
No theory. No fluff. Just honest talk about pricing, sales, hiring, managing subcontractors, growing a construction company, and moving into luxury remodeling markets.
Topics include contractor profit margins, GC and sub relationships, construction business systems, leadership, client management, and what separates the builders who break through from the ones who stay stuck.
If you're a general contractor, remodeler, custom home builder, or trade business owner trying to grow this is the show built for you.
New episodes every other Tuesday.
