The Daily Dose #144 | HIA Rankings Confusion & CFMEU Inquiry: What Builders Need to Know


Listen Later

The HIA Top 100 builders list sponsored by COLORBOND steel has dropped, but when cross-checked against Australian Construction Data, the numbers don’t add up. Some builders are missing, others are ranked differently, leaving the industry asking: does this list create transparency or mistrust?


We also unpack the opening hearing of the Commission of Inquiry into the CFMEU and misconduct in the construction industry. Commissioner Stuart Wood and Senior Counsel Assisting Liam Kelly KC have set the stage for a wide-reaching investigation that could reshape how building gets done in Australia.


Plus, shout-outs to Jake Barry, Shaun Parsons and Dan Urquhart for dropping new podcast episodes this week.
