We recently brought in Stan Giaouris from The Construction Adviser to push our team on something that's costing the Australian construction industry around $4 billion a year: waterproofing failures.
Let that sink in for a second... $4 billion! 💸
The stats are brutal. Waterproofing is typically 2% of construction costs but 98% of future remediation expenses. And we're not letting our projects become part of that statistic.
Our team spent a few productive hours diving into the technical stuff - Australian Standards updates, NCC provisions, common installation mistakes, and what waterproof design actually looks like in practice (way more complicated than you'd think). The session was intense, but completely necessary.‘
Always Learning’ goes beyond a company value we rally around at national meetings. It's how we stay ahead of industry crises before they land on our projects.
Thank you Stan for supporting Urban Core and NexGen - you’ve given us the tools to start strong from day one.How do you make sure you never stop improving? 👇
