The Daily Dose #82 | Brisbane’s Boiling Over + The Rate Cut That Didn’t Happen
-
Narrated by:

By:
Two big swings hit the building industry this week, and not in a good way. The RBA held its nerve and didn’t cut interest rates, while Brisbane officially overtook Sydney as the most expensive city in Australia to build in.
Aaron breaks down what this means for builders, suppliers, and anyone trying to keep margins intact. From Olympic-sized cost blowouts to the reality of quoting jobs with last year’s pricing — this one’s got the insight (and cheek) you’ve come to expect from The Good Builder Podcast.
Needless to say, if you’re still hoping for a cheap slab and smooth delivery windows… you might want to sit down for this one.
