Master Builders Elevate: Building a Better Business

In this Chief's Chat episode, Ryan and David discuss trends in the industry that are visible right now, and how we can prepare for the end year. They also go over some highlights that Master Builders managed to achieve this year so far.

Show Notes

Despite the ongoing challenges, there have been some positive wins this year like the Constructive Forum and the relaunch of the Vertical Construction Leadership Group. It was also great that MBIE was prepared to listen to the concerns raised about the timing of introducing new insulation standards. The delay of the H1/AS1 code change has provided some much-needed breathing space. 

David shared some insight from surveyed leaders within the Vertical Construction Leadership Group (VCLG), which brings commercial contractors together to focus on the crucial issues impacting the sector. Ryan and David also covered the tireless work that Master builders have put into the consenting process. Master Builders called for a substantial reduction in the number of consenting authorities to improve consistency and speed up consent decision-making.

Finally, with Christmas quickly approaching, David suggested making sure to get a break. Look after your teams because they are critical to success, and look after yourself and your family.
