Construction Is Changing: The Warning Signs Every Leader Is Ignoring

In Episode 2 of Behind the Facade, Jake Gorry from Proline Group and Daniel Alizzi from Complex Facade Install Pty Ltd sit down after one of the most complex facade installs they have ever attempted. This episode starts with the reality of performing under pressure. Jake and Daniel break down what happened on the Melton Hospital project, including 9700 kilo concrete panels, crane crews, last minute engineering changes, and a plan that had to be completely adapted on site. But this conversation goes far beyond one project. Jake and Daniel talk about what it really takes to run a construction business when the pressure is high, the job is difficult, and the team is looking to you for direction. They cover leadership, work ethic, team culture, job site standards, and the importance of developing people who want to stay and grow with the business. Jake also opens up about writing a leadership playbook for his team, why putting his expectations on paper changed the way he leads, and how clear standards help create stronger people and better businesses. If you work in construction, facades, cladding, glazing, project management, site management, subcontracting, business ownership, or leadership, this episode gives a raw look at what it takes to operate under pressure in one of the toughest industries there is.
