The reasons are more complex than most builders will admit. Rob Flux breaks down the three forces converging on the building industry right now, labour shortages, blown-out timelines, and materials costs driven up by global conflict, and why two of them are actually the same problem in disguise. He and Todd unpack why Australia's building industry is still using methods the rest of the world moved on from decades ago and how modular and prefabricated construction could protect builders and homeowners from runaway costs. This episode is a must watch before you lock in your next build or gamble on where costs land in two years. πŸ•πŸ  We want to hear your investor story!
