What if the biggest challenge in construction isn’t labor shortages or rising costs—but the disconnect between builders and contractors?

In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, host Quinton Comino sits down with Dave Peterson, founder of Catha Construction, to discuss how his company is revolutionizing the way builders and subcontractors collaborate. With a background in high-tech manufacturing and supply chain management, Dave has introduced a unique “rep model” that gives builders access to vetted, high-capacity trades while helping contractors secure steady, high-volume projects.

Dave reveals how Catha Construction acts as a trusted matchmaker, vets trades for quality and reliability, and even guarantees territory exclusivity so builders can cut build times down to just 75–95 days. He also shares how his team supports contractors with AI-powered outreach, zero-cost marketing, price negotiations, and scheduling efficiencies, all while ensuring builders save time, reduce risk, and gain access to reliable crews.

Whether you’re a builder looking for trustworthy trades or a contractor wanting premium project opportunities, this conversation offers a fresh blueprint for the future of construction.
