Constructing You

When Anthony Roberts decided to co-found Porter Davis, he resolved to imbue the fledgling business with the sorts of value he cherished. A house would be a home, the warm heart of family life where each member is treated with respect. Nearly two decades on, those values remain unchanged at Porter Davis. What has changed is the size and success of the company. In its first year of operation, it built just 35 homes; today it builds1500 a year. It also builds award-winning homes that are sustainable and environmentally conscious. As the Managing Director of Porter Davis, Anthony has been instrumental in steering the company to become one of Australia's leading privately-owned businesses. He is responsible for the overall strategic direction, corporate governance, and for leading and engaging the senior executive team to maximise market share and business opportunity. His commitment to continuous growth was reflected in his decision to undertake the Harvard Owner/President Management Program that is designed to provide a broader global perspective, a deeper understanding of competition and greater insight into go-to-market options. Anthony's passion for business has been matched by his devotion to his family, his wife and two teenage children. It has been those strong family ties, his respect for the iconic value of the family home, however great or small, that he has made central to the life and times of Porter Davis.

Disruptive change is coming to the construction industry, and it will affect every segment of the value chain. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated this change and created a greater imperative to act. Executives, investors, and policy makers need to step up the scale and speed of their responses to make sure they stand on the right side of a transformation that will create new winners but also leave many behind. The Future of Construction Summit will explore how the entire ecosystem of construction will change, how much value is at risk for incumbents, and how companies can collaborate and leverage innovative approaches to create a more profitable and sustainable industry. It looks at the human elements of leadership, diversity and change management, as well as the technologies, materials, industrial approaches and broader digitisation trends that are redefining the way the industry operates.
