MEET DAVE
Meet Dave Bath, the visionary founder of Bath Building, a prominent family-owned construction firm located in Brisbane’s northern region, Queensland. He has elevated his business strategy through a strategic alliance with Wingman, enabling him to effectively manage high demand. This partnership has revolutionised his approach, ensuring seamless operations and meeting the needs of his expanding business.
“The demand was very high and I couldn’t keep up with it. They’d do anything from data input to customer service, accounting, just a daily -day task of keeping the business running, improving our systems in the way we do things.”
Dave initially hesitated to hire individuals outside of Australia. However, upon taking the leap, he quickly recognised the immense benefits of his decision, as he secured top-notch talent to efficiently handle tasks for him in a fast-phased approach.
“Their work ethic is outstanding. Without going into ratios, it’s probably one to three, to be honest at the moment. They’re very hardworking, they’re very loyal, and I personally think we’ve got one person doing what three people could do here, which is huge.”
Partnering with Wingman has not only assisted them in managing the surging demand for personnel and administrative responsibilities but has also enabled them to stay abreast of rapid technological advancements.
“One of the massive improvements is a lot of our trades were getting bogged down with technology and administration work. The building industry is changing. It’s gone from being heavily involved onsite to now being heavily involved in technology.”
That’s why he strongly recommends Wingman to fellow busy builders and contractors seeking business expansion, as well as those grappling with staff shortages and overwhelming administrative duties.
“Talk to people like myself that have actually been where you are second guessing yourself about what it looks like for you. And you will not be disappointed. If you’re a builder or a contractor and you’re looking to grow your business and you are dealing with staff shortages, please just make the phone call and call Wingman.”
