The Take Off is a Specialist Construction Podcast for the Australian & New Zealand Construction Markets. Each week, your host, Mick Donaghy will interview a leading Construction Entrepreneur or Leader within the Built Environment to share their story. Our goal is to show the good, the bad and the imperfect of the construction industry. As we all know, construction is a people business and we as people are fundamentally, imperfect.
Which is part of the reason why we all love stories. The Highs, the Lows and the continued Battle to be Better.

EP 127: Revisiting David Madden (Episode 37) on growing a QS firm from 4 employees to over 100
This was one of my favourite episodes to date; David Madden, Co Founder and Director of MBM, one of the largest privately owned Quantity Surveying firms in Australia showcases how he took the business, with help from others, from 4 staff to over 100 and how they have stayed relevant and competitive in their 19 years in business.
This episode is packed full of value for budding quantity surveyors, estimators and anyone else currently working in the construction industry who would classify themselves as "entrepreneurial". I found David to be humble, generous and always discussing his teams achievements other than his.
It was a pleasure to have David on the show and we really hope you enjoy it!
