Episode 24 of the Competitive Contractor Podcast discusses actions needed to progress the construction industry.

Construction is a unique industry. What we do helps other industries, society and communities to progress but as an industry, there is reluctance and hesitation when it comes to progress. Maybe there are valid reasons why progress is too slow for many of us. The big questions are - are all the stakeholders trying hard enough and what exactly is slowing things down?

To discuss this topic today, I have Matthew Mackey.

Matthew is the National Director for Cost & Commercial at Arcadis in Australia and is extremely passionate about the future of our industry. He is a recognised commercial leader with extensive local and international cost management expertise, developed over 20-years in the construction industry.  Matthew has lived in Brisbane for almost 10 years and has worked on a diverse number of projects across Australia, including the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal, Auckland Airport Second Runway Expansion, and Sydney Metro.

Matthew is a regular spokesperson and contributor on how the industry can improve collaboration and productivity and how data and digital technology can provide a positive impact on the future.

This is an episode not be missed by current and aspiring leaders of the industry.
