Palmerston North's pumping right now Decks Fences Pergolas Concrete Retaining Walls Smaller cities are doing well with people searching and going ahead with work via Google.

Great to sit down with Rapid QS for this podcast!

Great guest, cheers for the upload

Thanks for what you do, and the passion for this country ShallowChal!!

I'm quite a fan of Shallow Chal. Sure, he's not perfect, but he's mostly on point. The government needs to step the hell out of the way.

Very interesting chat, seems like a good bloke to learn from.

Great chat, hope that she achieves all her goals. I can see what you mean about the passion she feels for building, it's excellent.

With the comment about Tiktok vs Instagram marketing, I think there's also a bit of a demographic split as well. I'd estimate IG has a larger amount of older people who are more likely to own their own home and be able to afford good landscaping, versus Tiktok users

Great conversation. Thanks for sharing this with us.

"weve got a government thats taking more tax now than at any point in the history of Australia" Oops, FY23 tax to gdp ratio was 29.5% but in 2000 it was 30.4%.

"insurance policies and energy prices have gone up because of the government" ah yes, those innocent little insurance and energy multinationals, they're certainly not raising prices just to make more profit. No the government must have told them to put the price up 😅

"penalised for being entrepreneurial" - the figures he quoted about 2.5m small business with 50% being unprofitable - that was literally from a report from a federal government department devoted solely to small business. (ASBFEO). 😅 They must really hate it if theyve made government departments to support and promote it.

Man, it's easy to be convinced by this guy because he speaks with a lot of conviction. But if you do just a bit of fact checking, it starts to fall apart. @26 min - "Last federal budget, the government announced they were going to employ 40,000 more public servants. That's more soldiers than we have in this country." Can't find any resource that states 40,000 new hires. Budget Paper 4 for 24-25 budget states an increase in full time employees of approx. 12k (from 197k to 209k) from 23-24, a significant portion of which (20% or thereabouts) are actually just external contractor roles being brought 'in house'. With that being said, even if the 40k number were true, according to 2021 census there were 60k people in regular service in ADF. So looks like he's wrong on both counts, unfortunately. Have your gripes with the government, sure, but don't use made up numbers to make a point or it removes all credibility.

The quality of construction of most new residential dwellings is already absolutely abysmal. We desperately need better enforcement of the existing regulations as it is, hard to fathom how removing these would help. Better to remove negative gearing to make housing more affordable.

@45 min or so, he's talking about pricing cost savings, he does the right thing by hitting up the architect but I reckon he should also hit the client up for fees at that point. Especially as he's already priced the job once for free.

Great ep, inspiring guy. Regarding cost differences, from a capital cost, assuming like for like finishes and services, passive houses are going to be more expensive. This is by virtue of slightly more complex framing (deeper timber members, cross battens for breathability, etc) additional insulation requirements, and typically requiring more educated or skilled carpentry labour to install, and having windows which go beyond minimum spec. I don't think passive house builders should shy away from this fact, it's the same as asking if a better performing car is more expensive - generally, yes because it requires more effort for it to be better performing. With that being said, there's capital cost and then lifecycle cost, and the latter is where I believe passive houses then show their value (from a purely financial standpoint, ignoring things like environmental benefit, personal comfort, potential health benefits or avoidance of health risks like mould, etc.).

Cool to hear their journey, facing setbacks and reflecting on themselves and working out what they can do to respond better next time. Love the term 'big-dogging' - caught myself doing that and had to dig myself out of a bit of a hole I dug for myself.

Is his name Steven?
