Construction Matters: Brick By Brick, Quality Isn't Optional
Construction Matters Podcast
Episode Title: Brick By Brick – Quality Isn’t Optional
In this episode of Construction Matters, we dive deep into the essential topic of quality in the construction industry. Hosted by Gareth Wax and Hamish McLay, and featuring special guest Michelle Carr—a respected expert in building and construction standards—we examine why construction quality is far more than a technical box to tick.
Michelle brings her insight to the challenges that often compromise the safety and integrity of the spaces we live and work in. Together, we explore the cultural and systemic issues that contribute to widespread quality shortfalls, and why a shift from basic compliance to a mindset of excellence is long overdue.
From construction sites to boardrooms, we look at the responsibilities of builders, developers, and policymakers, and the broader implications of cutting corners. Poor quality not only threatens safety—it affects property values, sustainability efforts, and public confidence in the industry.
We also consider how these issues touch everyone involved—from homeowners and investors to architects and local authorities—and why demanding better construction standards is a shared responsibility.
This episode offers a candid look at the long-term impacts of building practices and encourages listeners to think critically about the foundations—both literal and cultural—on which our communities are built.
Tune in as we unpack why quality in construction isn’t optional—it’s essential.
