The crisis in the construction industry

This episode came via a message from one of our listeners, Jason on Instagram who wanted to point out the real issues the construction industry in Australia are facing.

A shortage of raw materials, worker shortages, supply chain delays and interest rate hikes is threatening the construction industry.

Phil Dwyer, head of the Builders Collective of Australia has warned the latest increases, are unlike anything he has seen in close to 50 years as a builder, and could force half the nation’s builders into insolvency.
