This week we're sitting down with Todd Bacon, Managing Director of Central Coast-based Collaborative Construction Solutions. Todd's got some strong opinions about our industry, and he's not holding back: from tradespeople who've never seen standard installation guides to clients accepting mediocre work, we're facing a quality crisis that starts with training and ends with expectations.


Sharing how CCS operates differently, this episode takes us inside the challenging world of live-site construction - schools, hospitals and shopping centers where the public never stops moving around your work. Todd proves why this niche might just be the ultimate test of a builder's skill and patience.


For Todd, it's about balancing growth with sanity, investing in proper planning, and remembering to step away occasionally (even if that means battling boredom on a bike trainer). That's how we build better businesses - and a better industry.


Sounds refreshingly honest, doesn't it?
