The Daily Dose #365 | Your Pipeline Looks Healthy. But Where's Your Next Job Coming From?

Builders can be flat out today and still have a problem brewing with their next lot of work. The RBA has lifted interest rates for the fifth time in 2026, the HIA says new home sales are at their lowest level in 18 months, and the Reserve Bank is hearing that while residential builders remain busy, forward sales are slowing. So what does that mean for your building business? In this solo episode of The Good Builder Podcast, Aaron Ng looks beyond the market headlines at something every residential builder should be paying attention to: how much certainty is actually sitting in your sales pipeline? Az gets into: Why a full construction schedule doesn't necessarily mean a healthy future pipeline. The difference between genuine opportunities and enquiries that might never turn into work. Why spending more on marketing isn't always the answer. How a better sales process can stop good opportunities going quiet. Three practical things builders can do this week to get a clearer picture of their future workload. Plus, a look at Queensland's construction software rebate and what eligible builders need to know before applying. The takeaway? You can't control interest rates or when clients decide to build. But you can get a much better handle on where your next jobs are coming from.
