Improving The Residential
Construction Industry For
Both Builders And Consumers
Working With builders All Over The World
Our Mission
To increase the number of Professional Builders in the industry and improve the experience for both builders and consumers in the process.
Our story
The Association of Professional Builders was founded in 2014 by Russ Stephens and Sky Kolade to help established custom home builders generate more leads, more sales, and increase their margins while improving the building experience for their clients.
Today, we empower builders across nations with essential systems, templates, and training, catalysing positive change within the industry.
Our Values
The driving force behind everything we do.
We Never Make Assumptions, We Ask More Questions
We only trust in what we know, not what we assume.
We Celebrate The Wins
We encourage our team members to share and celebrate wins as often as possible. No matter how big or small.
We Don’t Take Things Personally
We accept feedback and use it to help us become better versions of ourselves.
We Always Do The Right Thing Even When No One Else Is Looking
We’re honest, reliable and trustworthy professionals with everyone we interact with.
We Are Impeccable With Our Word
We always say what we mean and mean what we say. We also ensure the words we speak are accurate.
We Make Decisions And Own The Result
It’s not about always making the right decisions. But we always own the results of each of our decisions.
We Trust, But Verify
While it’s important to have faith in something or someone, it’s equally important to confirm accuracy.
