About this podcast
Construction Disrupted is a podcast for people working in the construction industry who need to stay current without drowning in noise. With a focus on the current, real-world issues across the built environment, the stories behind the headlines, the shifts worth your time, and the ideas to get you thinking.
No froth, all coffee.
Each episode follows a clear 3, 2, 1 structure:
3 headlines.
Covering the most relevant and interesting topics from the world of construction.
2 opinions.
Straight-talking analysis and debrief that digs deep beyond each headline. Why it matters and what it means for the future.
1 takeaway.
Sometimes practical, sometimes actionable, or perhaps something to make you think.
Hosted by Peter Sumpton and Ryan Jones, who bring a combined 40 years in construction and marketing, Construction Disrupted is designed for thought-leaders and decision-makers who prefer podcasts with more substance and less spin.
We know the backdrop, fragmented supply chains, rising costs, skills gaps and sustainability pressures, and we won’t rehash doom for the sake of it. Instead, we move past the headlines and delve into the topics that are shaping the industry today, tomorrow, and probably a couple more days after that.
Subscribe and join us every week – most weeks, anyway.
Expect clear thinking, dry humour and the occasional soapbox moment.
