Mastermind Program for Residential Builders
01 — The Program
Not a course.
Not a seminar.
Not a networking event.
The Newmark Academy Mastermind is a small group of residential builders — six to eight of you — who meet monthly for ten sessions across the year.
Each session, one member takes the hot seat and brings a real operational topic from their business. The rest of the group brings their own experience on the same topic. The conversation is direct, specific, and confidential.
You leave each session with a clearer picture of how other experienced builders are solving the same problems you are — and a clearer picture of where you stand.
"The trouble is, it can get very quiet at the top. The decisions don't get smaller as the business grows — they get bigger."

A room full of builders who get it
02 — Who It's For
Builders who have run out of good peers to test their thinking against.
You’re established. Capable. Running a residential business with a team behind you, five – ten more years in.
The market is tighter than it was. You’re watching tenders carefully, watching your margins, working out which jobs are worth pursuing and which aren’t.
You make most of the significant calls alone — because there’s no one around you who has done exactly what you do.
You’re not looking for someone to tell you how to run a building business. You’re looking for a room full of people who already do.
You have the fundamentals handled. This program is about the next level of clarity.
You’re not a sole operator. You have staff, subcontractors, and the complexity that comes with them.
Custom homes, high-end residential, architectural projects. This is your market.
The room only works if everyone brings the real stuff. Numbers, problems, decisions you’d make differently.

06 — Mark Newman
Built from experience. Run by someone who still does it.
Mark Newman started as an apprentice carpenter and spent ten years on the tools before moving into management and studying at university. He founded Newmark Constructions in 2009 and has spent the years since building award-winning, high-end custom architectural homes across Sydney.
He has been involved with the Master Builder Association for many years and has been part of an informal mastermind group of Sydney builders since 2023 – the same group whose experience, curriculum ideas, and honest feedback shaped the structure of the Academy.
The Newmark Academy is the formalisation of what he has been doing informally: bringing serious builders together in a room where honest conversation leads to better businesses.
