Geoff Brailey - McCrindle

The building industry is currently navigating a period of unprecedented transformation, where shifting demographics and evolving economic landscapes are redefining the way tradesmen and builders operate. In the Hunter Region, these macro trends are felt uniquely as population growth and regional migration create new opportunities and challenges. 

Geoff will deliver an evidence-based snapshot of the current industry landscape, exploring how housing mobility, changing household structures, and the rise of the next generation of homeowners are altering consumer expectations. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the megatrends impacting the building sector, from the ageing  population to the technological integration now required. 

Matthew Pollock - Master Builders NSW 

Matthew will outline Master Builders NSW, advocacy agenda, future directions and industry insights. 

Proudly sponsored by CBUS, Master Builders Insurance Brokers and Cert Lane
