While project cost blowouts and budget overruns have essentially become the norm in Australia, especially with regards to publicly-funded infrastructure, this doesn’t have to be the ongoing reality. HJA’s experts have identified the key to revolutionising construction cost estimation and increasing efficiency across the board: Should Cost Modelling.

In an attempt to address Australia’s spiralling housing affordability crisis, the federal and state governments have committed to build over 1.2 million new homes over the next 5 years in order to ensure supply meets demand. HJA argues that unless the business conditions of the country’s residential building sector are greatly improved, then this ambition may not be as achievable as we once thought, if at all.

Drops in productivity, lengthy disputes, cost explosions and time overruns: the traditional or conventional approach to contracting is less than ideal when it comes to Australia's building and construction industry. So, what is the answer, and how can Owners and Contractors alike mitigate these issues moving forward? HJA offers an emerging yet simple solution: collaboration.

In light of commitments to combat climate change and create a more circular Australian economy, the Government has introduced new policies and rules regarding sustainable procurement by Australian Public Service (APS) entities. HJA provides an expert overview of what this means for Government Owners/Officials and Private Suppliers across the country.

HJA is confident that renewable exports stand out as the clear solution amongst the rest.
