Builders, tradies and the partners who run the business with them, anywhere in Australia. Every trade gets paid differently, so the coaching starts with how yours does.
Each page covers what the coaching works on for that trade, the questions owners ask, and the guides that answer them.
Builders carry the biggest numbers in the trades and the thinnest margins when pricing is wrong. Coaching starts with your gross profit per hour and your work in progress, then the systems that let you step off the tools and run the business.
Coaching for builders → PlumbersFor plumbers the work is pricing service calls and project work differently, tracking billable hours, and building a crew and a workflow that does not need you on every job.
Coaching for plumbers → ElectriciansWe work on pricing that covers overheads and licences, a quoting process that closes, and the HR strategies to hire and keep good sparkies.
Coaching for electricians → CarpentersFor carpenters it is usually pricing: charging for skill and finish rather than hours. Then the systems to track jobs and the confidence to say no to the wrong ones.
Coaching for carpenters → TilersTiling is square-metre pricing with real risk in the prep and the wastage. Coaching gets the pricing model right, tracks the hours, and builds a workflow that scales to a second crew.
Coaching for tilers → Joinery & Cabinet MakersWe work on quoting that covers shop time and materials properly, deposits and progress payments that protect cashflow, and a production workflow that lets you quote the next job while the current one is on the bench.
Coaching for joinery & cabinet makers → LandscapersWe work on quoting that covers plants, materials and machine hire before you buy them, deposits and progress payments that protect cashflow, maintenance contracts that smooth the quiet months, and a crew that runs the site while you quote the next one.
Coaching for landscapers → PaintersFor painters the work is pricing from your real cost per hour and the prep the customer never sees, a quoting process that wins the clients who value finish over price, and systems so a second crew paints to your standard without you on the brush.
Coaching for painters → RoofersWe work on pricing re-roofs, repairs and insurance jobs with their real costs in (height safety, scaffold, weather days, waste), a quoting and follow-up process that converts the storm-season rush into booked work, and a crew and schedule that keep going when you are off site.
Coaching for roofers → ConcretersCoaching builds your rate from your own pours (pump, mesh, labour on the day, the wasted truck when the site is not ready), sets terms with builders so you are not the bank, and puts the systems in so the crew pours while you run the business.
Coaching for concreters → PlasterersWe work on square-metre rates built from your own jobs (sheet, set, sand, the second trip when the sparky is late), payment terms that protect cashflow on big builds, and the systems to run two crews across two sites without being on either.
Coaching for plasterers → BricklayersWe work on a rate per thousand built from your own jobs (labourer wages, downtime, scaffold, the wet days), builder terms that pay you on time, and the systems to run a second gang and keep both busy.
Coaching for bricklayers →The pages above are the trades Tamika is asked about most, not a limit. The same one-on-one coaching applies to any trade or construction business, because the work is the same: price properly, know the numbers, build systems, lead the crew.

Read →Yes. The pages are for the trades Tamika is asked about most. She coaches air conditioning and refrigeration businesses, glaziers, fencing contractors, earthmoving and construction companies the same way: pricing, cashflow, systems and team, one-on-one. Book a scale session and bring your numbers.
Because the numbers behave differently. A tiler prices by the square metre and gets paid after the builder does; a joinery shop buys materials months before install; a builder carries progress claims and variations. The coaching is the same discipline applied to the way your trade actually gets paid.
Both. Sole traders who are undercharging often get the most out of the first sessions. Businesses with a crew work more on roles, systems and hiring.
Yes, and for many trade businesses it is the best way to do it. The partner running the office holds the invoicing, the numbers and the worry; Tamika coaches couples so you both see the same numbers and share the plan.
Across Australia: Cessnock, Devonport, Hobart, Kununurra, Brisbane and plenty of places between. Coaching is online, so the weekly call works the same wherever the business is.
One session to map your numbers and your profit leaks. No obligation.
