We’re excited to share that Michael Drage recently joined Jess on The Building Sciology Poddie for a deep conversation about one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry today — the performance gap between how buildings are designed and how they actually perform in reality.

The episode explores:

• why many buildings fail to achieve their intended performance outcomes
• the importance of building physics and verification
• common challenges around airtightness, detailing and quality control
• and how prefabricated and systemised construction methods can help reduce risk, improve certainty and deliver more consistent results

The discussion also touches on the future of high-performance housing in Australia and why de-risking construction has become increasingly important in a volatile market.

A big thank you to Jess for having Michael on the podcast and facilitating such an insightful industry conversation.
