The Daily Dose #175 | The 2 Things Every Builder Must Know in 2025: Microburbs Explained + Drew’s 3 Stages of Growth
Description
In today’s Daily Dose, we break down the two biggest pieces of clarity every builder needs heading into 2025:
1. Suburb clarity – using Microburbs to understand who lives in an area, what they value, and how to design and market accordingly.
We unpack how builders are using Microburbs to make smarter decisions about product, pricing, positioning, and future demand.
2. Business clarity – Drew from Increase Constructions’ framework on the 3 stages builders get stuck in:
• Not enough opportunity
• Not enough resources
• Not enough of the right work
This is one of the cleanest ways we’ve ever heard a builder describe the growth journey — and it instantly helps you diagnose where you are, and what needs to change next.
We also cover:
• What GTEE is actually doing for builders
• How QA platforms are helping builders scale
• Big guests coming up on the podcast this week
The goal of today:
Give you clear information you can use to build smarter, market smarter, and run a more predictable business.
The Good Builder is here to help raise the bar for the home building industry.
