ABOUT US
A Business System Designed By Builders, for Builders.
Who we are
Smith & Sons are the largest franchised home renovation company in Australia and New Zealand, and one of the industry leaders in Canada, whose primary mission is to attract, equip and empower builders to be able to own and operate a professional home renovation business.
Smith & Sons operates using a franchise business model as this provides the best support mechanisms possible to enable consistent and managed growth which is vital when creating a profitable and sustainable business.
Smith & Sons have a proven record of taking local builders and helping them increase their revenue and profitability through tried and tested business, management, and marketing systems.
What we do
Smith & Sons provides local builders the brand, systems, tools, resources, initial and ongoing training and support. This enables them to grow a profitable, sustainable renovation business of significant size through providing high-quality home renovation services to homeowners.
Our specialty is taking general contractors who have low sales numbers and who want to develop a business with higher revenue targets. OUr systems, approaches and success mindset helps them quickly scale up and become a much larger operation; building the right team along the way to support the revenue growth of the business, potentially creating a level of freedom for the franchisee he or she has never experienced before.
The building game is tough, but with Smith & Sons, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Support, not just from your local support office, but from the team of other passionate Smith & Sons franchised general contractors is a massive help. No secrets here!!!
Our History
With successful Franchised construction businesses already operating in the new home field, the directors of Smith & Sons recognized a gap in the industry where many renovation builders were not able to be a part of these organizations, often due to the expense required to join and operate the business.
With this in mind, the directors of Smith & Sons created a renovation and addition centric brand which allowed smaller builders to access the systems, tools and resources that are required to build a high revenue business but without the large upfront and ongoing costs.
Smith & Sons launched in February 2008, and experienced very strong growth even through the Global Financial crisis due to their ability to assist builders to grow a successful business and quickly scale up. After 10 years, Smith & Sons had 100+ Franchise Partners in operation across Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
