PRESENTED BY | Richard Armstrong, CEO, ProCalc and host of the HIA, Made to Build podcast.
OVERVIEW
In the past 12 months, 2,800 Australian construction businesses have collapsed, and nearly 500 builders faced regulatory disciplinary action.
When a build fails, it doesn’t stop with the contractor. The architect’s name is attached to the outcome.
Stranded projects, poor workmanship, and client communication breakdowns can quickly erode years of hard-earned credibility. In a tight market, one failed recommendation can damage trust and future referrals.
This CPD webinar introduces a structured, best-practice builder selection methodology using independent data and practical vetting tools to help architects assess builders with far greater confidence — before appointment.
If you’re recruiting a builder in the next 12 months, this innovative session is essential.
