Episode 62 - Building company staff deserve fairer contract terms too
Why does the construction industry feel so tough when today’s technology should be making it easier? It’s a question I couldn’t stop thinking about as I stood in the rain at Brisbane’s City Hall 🏛️ (yes, I was soaked!)

In this episode of the Tricks of your Trade podcast, I dig into the shared frustrations of both builder staff and subbies.

But there’s common ground—and fairer contracts are the key.
