Shownotes

This week on Build Smart Blueprint, we’re joined by Tim Fitch, founder of Invennt, a consultancy helping construction companies grow through innovation, diversification, and sharper business strategy.

From civil engineer to business development expert, Tim shares why building client relationships, understanding your market position, and knowing which projects not to bid on are key to staying profitable and stable.


We dive into:


🔹 How to build a pipeline of solid opportunities


🔹 Why relying on one client is risky business


🔹 What effective networking looks like in construction


🔹 How AI and tech can improve—but not save—your margins


🔹 And why business development in construction is all about mindset and timing

💡 If you’re a construction leader looking to level up your client base, project selection, or overall strategy—this one’s for you.
