Originally published 19 Apr 2022

In this week’s podcast, we talk with Andrew Pettenon, Director/Owner of RMB Design.  Andrew has a unique background in the construction industry starting off within on-site roles working for Mirvac and Icon then being (arguably) the first Design Manager in the Melbourne commercial building industry.

We spoke about the issues and problems relating to contracts – specifically Design & Construct contracts, getting KPI’s and deliverables right, compliance, and the role of a Design Manager and how it has evolved of the last 15 years.

Amongst other things, in this podcast we discuss:

  • Design Management – the development of the role
  • Procurement issues that will remain as we move towards the back end of Covid
  • Design & Construct contracts
  • Driving factors from a Developers point of view
  • Considerations for developers looking to get into the market

If you have an interest in the Melbourne building industry, building and developing a company within the industry, or have an interest in what takes place within a business of this size, then have a listen.
