About Us

Bungalo Group was launched during the great “Building Depression” in the late 2000’s to help firms in the building industry grow. We work with Architects, Builders, Suppliers, Showrooms, Remodelers, Designers, Manufacturers, Dealers and Contractors.

Company founders, Ross Iverson and Kristin Kowler, are building industry experts. Over the past 25-years we have provided growth-related services to businesses between 500K and 50M. 

We're about Results. If we don't produce results, we don't have a business. We take a holistic approach to building business systems (a.k.a your Growth Zone). By putting all the pieces in place, we build companies that are strong enough to withstand economic turmoil.

Where do we start?

Our holistic approach to growth begins with a clear focus on results (output) and resources (input). Then we help you create a system for getting more out of what you put in.

Resources (time and money) are precious and usually limited. So, we usually recommend focusing on improving your closing rates. This creates more revenue. In fact, a 10% increase in closing-rates can produce 50% more sales. Dollars that can be used to fuel marketing and growth initiatives.  

The Bungalo Way

We believe that every business is either Growing or Dying. We see too many businesses lose sight of the future because they are buried in the day-to-day tasks of running a business. It's our mission to help you EXECUTE your growth strategy, and succeed!

Be Specific

 We are masters at turning ideas and goals into measurable actions items that are realistic.

Prevent waste

We are passionate about stopping firms from wasting precious resources that will slow down, and delay growth. 

Be a multiplier

We improve the quality, speed, and effectiveness of the Growth Zone to get more from invested resources. 

Stretch dollars

We're creative at stretching our client’s dollars with ideas, relationships, and experiences. 

Be tough

We ask tough questions, challenge assumptions, and provide fresh solutions to typical boundaries of growth. 

Create lasting results

Our systems are built to work in an up-and-down economy for the long run, so dollar #1 is building towards a greater goal.
