Bali, Indonesia
Grand Hyatt Bali
Work with expert coaches to map out a detailed plan for growth, succession, or exit. You’ll get access to exclusive content and strategic frameworks developed specifically for the APB Retreat, insights you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll leave knowing exactly where your business is going, and how to get there.
Step into the role your business actually needs. Build the mindset, structure, and leadership capability to move beyond bottlenecks and team headaches. This is an intense, focused environment (not for the faint-hearted), but perfect for builders who are serious about scaling with confidence.
Surround yourself with builders who think bigger. This isn’t a room of tradies. It’s an exclusive group of residential building company owners and directors sharing wins, challenges, and real strategies in a growth-driven environment. All in a private, secure setting that gives you the mental space to think long-term.
Three days. Five-star resort. No distractions. Just time to zoom out, recharge, and reimagine what your business (and lifestyle) could look like without the stress of planning or logistics. We take care of everything so you can focus on the future.
We created the Annual Retreat because even the most successful builders need time to step back and ask bigger questions: what’s next for me, my business, and my life?
At the Retreat, elite builders from around the world come together to brainstorm, share ideas, and hold each other accountable. It’s an environment designed to spark inspiration, challenge your thinking, and give you the clarity to take your business to the next level.
Across several carefully structured days, you’ll step away from the daily grind and into a schedule designed for clarity, focus, and long-term planning.
Arrive at the Grand Hyatt Bali, settle into your room, spend the evening hanging out at dinner with the owners of other professional building companies.
Connect with other like-minded builders, and get ready for two focused days of growth and planning.

Guided by APB’s executive coaches, day one is all about gaining perspective, thinking long-term, and creating space to work on your business, not just in it.
Expect high-level strategy, interactive sessions, and the opportunity to reflect, reset, and refocus.
“Waiting at the airport for our flight and we are more determined than ever to set the wheels in motion to achieve our goals for the next 5 plus years.”

Building on the insights from day one, this session will help you refine your direction, strengthen your leadership approach, and return home with a clear, executable plan.
The format is designed to support open discussion, peer collaboration, and practical planning, tailored to where you are in business.

I Want to attend
Coming out of the retreat, I finally realised why I feel flustered. Everyone comes to me for answers because we don’t have proper systems.
I’ve known it deep down, but now I actually know what to do. Mapping out the systems, anchoring the team in our values, and putting structure behind it... that’s what I’m taking home.

APB runs regular events in cities all over the world that provide networking and learning opportunities for professional builders. However, this is an exclusive retreat limited to APB's most aspirational and best-performing members to create a long-term strategic plan and exit strategy for their building company.
This event is for the owners and directors of custom home-building companies that want to create a long-term strategic plan and exit strategy for their building company. It is not for commercial builders, developers, tradies, handymen, or subcontractors.
Unfortunately, tickets don’t include flights. However, they do include 3 nights of accommodation, food, and a 5-star experience at one of Bali's most sought-after resorts.
You'll have an intimate workshop over 2-days with the co-founders of The Association of Professional Builders, Russ Stephens and Sky Kolade, and two of APB's Executive Business Coaches, including our Head Coach, Andy Skarda.
The retreat is being held in Bali, Indonesia, between the 2nd and 4th of September 2026, at the luxurious Grand Hyatt Bali. Situated on Nusa Dua, this 5-star resort has everything you need for the ultimate getaway.
The price is USD$9,997+GST for two people (no GST for building companies outside of Australia). To secure your place you just need to pay a USD$1,000 deposit.
If you’re an Elite Mentoring client, you’ll receive a 90% discount, meaning you only pay the $1,000 deposit to attend.
Your ticket includes two guests, but the retreat is strictly reserved for building company owners, directors, and their spouses. This is a high-level strategic planning experience, and not suited for other team members. It’s designed for the people responsible for steering the direction of the business.
There are limited spots available. So if you want to be involved in this life-changing experience in one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world, secure your spot now.
