Australia’s building industry is caught in a squeeze — not enough tradies to hit ambitious housing targets, yet record immigration fuelling housing demand. In this week’s Monday Brief, we dig into the paradox and what it means for builders.

We’ll also break down:

• The latest Housing Accord approval numbers and what they signal for supply.
• Goop Guys’ 25th birthday at Australia Zoo and what their journey means for builders.
• Emerging construction technologies — hype vs help.
• Tony Gall’s leadership tip for site coaching.
• What’s coming up this week on The Good Builder, including the launch of our Business Directory.

Stay sharp, stay informed — this is your 10-minute kick-off for the week.
