Crushing It In Construction

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

My guest today is David Vella  from Baseline Projects.
 
Baseline was founded in 2018 and since then has undergone some serious growth. In the early days it was just David and Aaron, his business partner, running the company above a mower shop, but today they have grown to roughly 60 people with offices in Sydney and Brisbane.

In this episode David reflects on how he actually got involved in construction, some of the challenges they had getting the company established and the guiding principals he believes has been the key to their growth so far.

Let's get started!

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

My guest today is Tom Brady - not the quarterback, but the founder and managing director of Brefni.

Since coming over to Australia from Ireland nearly 30 years ago, Tom has channelled his experience as a quantity surveyor into building a company from the ground up, now heading up major civil projects across New South Wales.

He reflects on his experience since picking up his first backhoe - sharing insights from challenging periods,  lean construction methodology and hiring for new positions to help the business grow.

Welcome to another episode of the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

I'm delighted to be joined this week by none other than Jason Ramsay, founder and managing director of Ramsay Civil.

Jason's background saw him go straight into construction after leaving school and working in some of Victoria's most prominent civil projects over a span of 20 years.

In 2015, he took the plunge and set up his own business - spurred by a motivation to work for himself, create a more flexible schedule to spend time with his family and not spend his life wondering what might have been!

Our conversation unpacks anecdotes and valuable lessons from his experience, to help you at any stage of your journey.

Welcome back to another episode of the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

Today I chat to Patrick O'Sullivan, who shares his experiences as founder and managing director of Prestige Civil Group.

Based in Victoria, Patrick has a really cool background story.  His journey in construction started the day after being kicked out of school, working for a few different companies before deciding at the age of 21 to make a crack of it himself and now overseeing a roster of over 120 people.

He reflects on the steady rise of the company - from early beginnings with a handful of employees from the football club, getting the hires right, setting the sights on ambition and embodying the core values, every step of the way.

Let's get started!

Hello everybody and welcome back to this week's episode of the Crushing It In Construction podcast. My name's Jordan Skinner, I am your host and this week I'm chatting with Ben Mullaney of InQuick Bridging Systems.

Ben is the CEO of the company, and he has a really interesting story. He doesn't come from a construction background, although his father did work in the construction industry, but he grew up wanting to be an academic. He wanted to work in universities and spend his life on campus. 

But it didn't work out that way and he found himself coming into the construction industry, helping his father and brothers build a company from the ground up.  And they are crushing it at the minute, the company's gone from strength to strength. They're expanding internationally and doing really, really well, and during this podcast, he's shares some of the ups and downs that they've had while building the company to where it is today.

Hello everybody, Jordan Skinner here with another episode of Crushing It In Construction. This week I'm having a chat with Michael Hyde from Ballestrin Constructions.  Michael's story is a little bit different than most people that I have on the show who are business owners that have started a business for themselves and have grown it to a certain point.

Michael doesn't own his own business, but he's the General Manager of Ballestrin and he has been in senior management positions, helping run large construction companies, for the best part of 20 years. So he has a lot of experience.

Lets get into the show.
