Mark left his job as an estimating and procurement manager for a developer builder and started a Jim's Building Inspections franchise in Sunshine.

He began the journey in November and went live in March.

He spent his whole career in the building industry after university, most recently in a corporate office role.

He reached a point where he wanted to reflect, put self-development back into his own career, and work for himself.

A Jim's franchise let him do that without starting from ground zero.

The model put him on a level playing field with established franchisees from day one.

In this episode Mark talks through the daunting shift to self-employment, the honest two-day training with no sugar coating, and the on-site training and team support that keep him learning.

He explains why he positions himself as a building consultant, not just an inspector, and how added services like asbestos sampling, tax depreciation schedules, and dilapidation reports supplement his income.

He also covers the flexibility to schedule inspections around his family and his kids' sport.

Watch if you come from a building background and want to know what the move to your own inspection business looks like.
