Problems and Solutions to construction quality in Australia
Time, Cost, and Quality are the “holy trinity” of construction—there’s always a trade-off.
For too long, Time has been elevated above Quality, while Cost has been used as a marketing hook—“value” to sell homes.
If we want better quality, we need to stop prioritising speed over durability.
The crazy part?
Consumers think they’re saving money upfront, but they end up paying far more in the long run.
It’s a classic bait and switch—shifting the real cost of poor quality onto homeowners across the lifetime of the build.
