Episode 64 - Trickery During the Christmas Shutdown Period


Listen Later

Hi there! Today, I want to chat with you about something that trips up a lot of people in the construction industry—the Christmas shutdown period. While many industries keep rolling through the holidays, construction traditionally grinds to a halt, and that can lead to some unexpected headaches.

In this episode of the Tricks of Your Trade podcast, I dive into the three key ways this downtime can cause trouble and give you some tips to keep you ahead of the game - From payment claims, to contract deadlines, or project delays.

Christmas Shutdown Dates in Australia:

QLD: 22 December to 10 January (Inclusive)
NSW: 27 to 31 December (Inclusive)
ACT: 27 to 31 December (Inclusive)
VIC: No shutdown (Public holidays and weekends observed)
