Attract Quality Clients That Are Focused On Value Not Price & Get Paid For EVERY Quote!

Fill Your Building Business With Quality Clients With Our New 3 Step Blueprint

About Builders Business Blackbelt

Builders Business Blackbelt empowers residential builders to run profitable, low-stress businesses with more time, more control, and more freedom.

Founded by Mick Hawes and Julie Cassar, we exist to challenge the outdated norms of the building industry, replacing chaos and guesswork with proven systems, leadership strategies, and a supportive community.

Our members don’t waste time on free quotes, don’t compete on price (and still win quality jobs), and build teams that can run the business without them.

This is more than coaching — it’s a smarter way to build the business and life you imagined when you first got started.

Our Mission

Our mission is to disrupt ‘old school’ Building Industry thinking, eliminate the frustration and unnecessary pain experienced by builders and their clients, as well as developing and elevating builders to true professional status.

The Right Formula

Proven models with step-by-step processes combined with accountability measures and guidance, all the while sharing the experience and knowledge with others, is our formula to make it better today – not next year.

Our Vision

If you are genuinely serious about taking your business to a new level of profitability, enjoyment and time freedom, then we are genuinely serious about helping you. Apply to join our program and if you’re successful, you can experience every single part of this proven program. If it’s not for you (or you’re not for us) you’ll receive a full refund no questions asked.

Recognised for Excellence

Builders Business Blackbelt was proud to be named a Finalist in the 2025 BX Business xCellence Awards in the Coaching – Business category.

This honour reflects our dedication to helping builders transform their businesses — not just with better systems and leadership, but with real, lasting results. Being recognised alongside some of the most innovative coaching programs in the country reinforces that what we’re doing works — and it’s making a real impact.

We joined Mick and Julie at BBB 4 and a bit years ago when we were physically, financially and mentally drained through running our business incorrectly. We now are in a position to take this beast wherever we want! Joining Builders Business Blackbelt has been the best decision we have ever made!!

This has been the best decision I have ever made. As a carpenter for many years, turning into a builder you think you have what it takes, but there's much more than rocking up, quoting and praying the customers picks you. I have to thank Mick and Julie for everything, our business is heading into a good position in the building industry and knowing now we work for quality clients. We have a wonderful process that all our customers that come through & love it. You have to put in the work to get results, almost 2 years in this amazing group. We have some amazing friends( builders ) around Australia that I can ring at any time if needed. Mick is a phone call away also which I have used on numerous occasions. If you asked me 2 years ago, do you need a coach I would have laughed. I was the bigger fool, now I'm enjoying my business, have extra time each week, some amazing customers coming in and lastly making Profit😃 Thanks again Mick and Julie ❤️
