INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE | E21 | Alison Mirams – The 5 Day Construction Week.
In this week’s episode I welcome Alison Mirams to the podcast. Alison is CEO of Roberts Pizzaritto, the newest top tier building contractor in Australia, and a major advocate for improved working conditions in the industry. In this episode we talk about: · Starting Roberts Pizzarotti with a blank piece of paper and the achievements they have had in the first 4 years of business. · Why Alison is so passionate about the move to a 5-day working week for the construction industry. · The startling statistics that still plague the industry around working conditions in the industry. Including terrible numbers around suicides, why women leave the industry 39 times faster than men and why facilities for women in a construction environment have to change. · How Roberts Pizzarotti won Concord Hospital with a bid that included a 5 day week and the benefits they are seeing as a result. · How Green Star Buildings have put responsible building at the core of their rating system. · And why Alison is excited about the opportunity to bake in flexible working into the construction industry after COVID and much more.
