In Episode 5 of Behind the Facade, Jake Gorry from Proline Group and Daniel from Complex Facade Install Pty Ltd sit down for a raw conversation about business growth, leadership, fabrication, work ethic, mentorship, and what is coming next for the construction industry.
This episode dives into the real day to day of running fast moving facade and construction businesses. Jake and Daniel break down their early morning routines, how they structure their days, how Proline’s in house fabrication division has changed the business, and why the next 12 to 24 months could be a massive period for construction.
They also talk about the importance of saying no to the wrong jobs, choosing the right clients, building strong teams, bringing pride back into the craft, and why mentorship needs to become a bigger part of the industry again.
If you work in construction, facades, cladding, fabrication, project management, site management, subcontracting, or business ownership, this episode is packed with practical insight from two people living it every day.
