    Ep 2: Women In Business - Donna Dale

    Hi Listeners! This is the second episode of our special Women in Business Series! Mardee believes that as a small business owner, it is important to surround yourself with a supportive and passionate network of people with different skills and ideas.  In this series, Mardee talks to amazing women in business to share stories, business tips and thoughts about life, owning a business and everything in-between.  In this episode, Mardee sits down with Donna Dale. Donna is a pool safety inspector and is completing her training to work as a building certifier. Building certifiers play a critical role as the "regulators" of Australian building standards and construction codes.  Building certifiers make sure buildings stay up and don't blow over or fall apart.  Pretty important, hey? Mardee and Donna talk about shiraz-coloured steel capped boots, and why the building certification process is so important.  They also talk about the biggest misconception in Donna's industry ... that women don't understand the technical aspects of building and construction.  Got some thoughts on today's episode?

    Ep 3: Owners Hour - Understanding the QBCC

    Hi Queensland property owners! Welcome to Episode 3 of our Owners' Hour Series! In this episode we discuss the role and functions of Queensland's building industry regulator, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission or QBCC. We give a brief overview of the Queensland Home Warranty Insurance Scheme and discuss the kinds of decisions the QBCC makes and how these decisions can impact your building project. We laugh about how we always left our assignments at law school to the last minute, but our main point is to encourage homeowners to do what we say and not what we do …. take action early if you find yourself in a situation where you need the QBCC's assistance or involvement in your building project.    Building or renovating a home is a huge financial and emotional investment.  We want to make sure you have everything you need to take away some of the stress or worry with building or renovating your dream home.
