In this episode, we’re joined by Veno Panicker, a Partner in Construction & Infrastructure at Hamilton Locke who has worked closely with contractors and developers across civil, energy, and public infrastructure.
Veno talks about why Australia’s obsession with lump sum contracts is fuelling insolvencies, how shifting risk down the chain is eroding project outcomes, and why redefining “value” in infrastructure must go beyond timelines and budgets.
He also discusses how smarter contract models can unlock innovation, what it really takes to boost productivity on-site, and why investing in education, diversity, and tech adoption is non-negotiable for the future of the industry.
If you want to deliver infrastructure that’s truly fit for purpose, protect the health of your supply chain, and build long-term capability in Australia’s construction sector, make sure to listen to this episode!
