Episode Details

Five things every builder needs on their radar this week, from a $500 giveaway to diesel prices, fixed-price contract exposure, a major industry health report, and a night out for a great cause.

What we cover:

• The Pointsbuild shoutout and how to enter our $500 Mitre 10 giveaway before 26 April
• The Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, and why diesel is up 67% since early March
• Why PVC, concrete, steel and plumbing materials are all repricing right now
• The fixed-price contract problem — and what your escalation clause position actually means
• The TGB Industry Health Report — one of the most comprehensive looks at the Australian building industry to date
• The Care-Factor event — Reboot Mindset Academy beneficiary, founded by Todd Carney and Mitch Pierce
