Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

Today I'm delighted to welcome Daniel Debattista onto the show, Managing Director  of WA-based outfit PARC Engineering.

This week's episode is all about perseverance: how to think creatively when growing as a small business, building the client base and establishing relationships.

With PARC growing from 2 to 300 people since their formation in 2018, Daniel really knows his stuff - whether it's building the website from his kitchen table, outgrowing the aircraft hangar office space or throwing life savings at a footy box with Freo Dockers... it's all in the name of business development.
