  • The Importance of AI in Property Development
    Feb 15 2026

    AI is no longer a buzzword in property development. In this episode, Dave Cummins breaks down what AI is, where it is already being used and how it can improve design, delivery, safety and sustainability.

    Why it’s important?

    AI can help cut delays, reduce cost overruns and lower building emissions by optimising energy, materials and construction planning. The question is no longer if AI will shape the sector, but how quickly we choose to adopt it responsibly.

  • The Importance of Leadership in Construction
    Feb 8 2026

    Leadership is not about job titles or hierarchy. It is about responsibility and the willingness to influence decisions across design, procurement, delivery and building operation so projects deliver better outcomes over time.

    Why is it important? Because construction and buildings carry a major environmental footprint, and the decisions made early can lock in costs, performance and impact for decades. Dave unpacks how strong leadership shifts teams from minimum compliance to maximum value, improving energy and water performance, supporting healthier indoor environments and creating long term benefits for clients and communities.

  • The Importance of Urban Development
    Feb 1 2026

    This episode explores the role of urban development in shaping healthier, more resilient cities. From walkability and green infrastructure to transport, density and inclusive design, it examines how the way we plan and build cities directly affects wellbeing, equity and environmental outcomes.

    Why it’s important

    With most of the world’s population now living in cities, urban development decisions shape climate impact, public health and social connection at scale. When done well, urban development can reduce emissions, improve quality of life and strengthen communities. when it is done poorly, it deepens inequality and environmental harm. The choices we make today will define how cities function for generations.
