Building Industry Insights with David Mynott

So what's been going on in the building industry for the last 18 months? 

We have David Mynott back to give us his insights with a deep dive into the Perth building industry.. He is the founder of 2nd Dawn, a sustainable building company in Perth and is well positioned to take us through what he is seeing. 

David will talk about the effects of rising petrol prices, labor shortages, Covid and the war in Ukraine on the cost of labor and materials and how this is affecting typical building time frames and if these are stabilising.

We also talk about the potential window of opportunity to commence building before everyone else thinks it's a good idea.   

There is a lot more affecting the future of the industry. Let's go inside!
