Listen Later

In this episode of The Good Builder Podcast, we sit down with Candice, Queensland State Manager at Advanced Buildings & Restoration, to uncover a side of construction most never see.


From major weather events to meth labs, trauma clean-ups to fire restoration, Candice and her team show up when people are at their absolute worst, and help them rebuild.


Her story is powerful. From humble beginnings in South Africa to leading one of the most high-pressure teams in the building industry, Candice brings a rare blend of grit, heart, and humility to her role.


We talk about:

  • What it really takes to lead through chaos
  • Building trust with trades and clients after disaster
  • How women are reshaping the building industry
  • The culture she’s built — and why walking the floor matters
  • What makes a good builder (hint: it’s not just the tools)


If you work in construction, leadership, or just want to hear what true resilience looks like — this is the episode for you.
