Episode #098 | Dean Holliday & Bret Martin

Today, long-time friends & supporters of Construction Sport, Dean & Bret from Tribuild Solutions, are here to chew the fat on classic construction chat.

From shortage concerns to tendering, client relationships, payment issues and how the collapse of certain major contractors affected them, Dean and Bret give their perspective on some of the biggest challenges facing the industry.

The trio also discuss why & how Tribuild uses golf and sport to build relationships, the barriers to entry in construction, the rail industry and what young people entering construction today are up against.
