WHO’S GOT YOUR BACK?

Communicate like a professional.

Be clear, not casual.
Don’t assume your trades know what’s in your head.
Use drawings, notes, timelines. Confirm everything, twice.
And always follow up in writing.

Building trades relationships with confidence

On a renovation project, no one is coming to save you.
If the tiler cuts corners, the builder ghosts you, or the electrician installs the wrong fittings, it’s on you.

And that’s not meant to scare you.
It’s to remind you: you’re the one leading this project.
So you need to know how to manage your team like a pro, even if it’s your first time.

Here are 4 practical rules that will save you time, stress, and drama:

1. Communicate like a professional
Be clear, not casual.
Don’t assume your trades know what’s in your head.
Use drawings, notes, timelines. Confirm everything, twice.
And always follow up in writing.

2. Trust, but don’t assume
Yes, you want to build good relationships.
But that doesn’t mean handing over your power.
Trust is earned through consistent delivery, not charm or promises.

3. Don’t panic when plans change
Materials go out of stock. Timings shift.
Being flexible doesn’t mean being passive, it means staying focused on the outcome and adjusting without losing control.

4. Pay on time, and document everything
Want loyalty? Start with respect.
Pay promptly, agree terms in advance, and keep records.
A professional approach earns professional results.

This is the part no one tells you in flipping courses.
But if you want to renovate for profit, not chaos, you have to lead with clarity and confidence.

That’s exactly what we teach inside FLIPIT.
Because you’re not “just doing up a house.”
You’re running a project, and people are part of that.
