    Aligning government, capital and construction to unlock housing supply at scale

    Australia’s housing crisis cannot be solved by policy alone, it requires genuine alignment across the full delivery ecosystem. This panel discussion explores how government, capital and construction can work more effectively together to unlock housing supply at scale, addressing the real constraints across planning, feasibility and delivery. Focusing on practical solutions and shared accountability, the session will highlight how coordinated action can turn policy intent into homes on the ground.

    Construction project managers are increasingly overwhelmed by unstructured, fragmented information spread across emails, documents, schedules, and digital platforms. While recent AI tools promise efficiency gains, most simply accelerate existing workflows rather than rethinking how project intelligence is formed. This session explores how AI agents can move beyond “copilot” automation to act as an intelligence layer across project data, reducing cognitive load and supporting better, earlier decision-making in complex construction environments.

    Built has developed its own Integrated Construction Model (ICM) to connect teams, project information, and decision-making across the construction lifecycle. In this session, Kurt Brissett, CIO at Built, and Vlad Milicevic, Managing Director APAC at Revizto, will share how this approach brings owners, designers, contractors, and trades into a shared digital environment, helping teams work from the same information and stay aligned. The discussion will focus on raising digital capability across the industry, improving how project teams work together, and why stronger digital workflows benefit the wider construction sector.

    As best practice has driven operational energy use as low as practically possible, industry focus is shifting to upfront (embodied) carbon. We use a real world example of a residential retrofit to show the quantum of difference that is possible in reducing whole of life carbon emissions.
