Скачать или смотреть How We Create a Better Construction Industry For Everyone - Lauren Rimmer - EP32

Lauren Rimmer is the Founder and CEO of Construct Change, a business focused on strengthening delivery, supporting supply chains, and improving culture across the construction industry

Lauren started Construct Change after seeing first-hand how often projects don’t fail because of technical ability, but because of poor communication, weak culture, lack of inclusion, and insufficient support for the people delivering the work. Her mission is simple but ambitious: help construction businesses operate more responsibly, sustainably, and humanely.

In this episode, we have an open and honest conversation about the parts of construction that are rarely spoken about publicly. From non-payment and commercial pressure, to suicide, mental health, and the challenges faced by women and underrepresented groups in the industry.

Lauren explains why culture, communication, and inclusion aren’t “nice-to-haves”, but the foundations on which successful projects are built. She also shares how Construct Change works with contractors to embed better ways of working into everyday decisions, improving delivery, protecting supply chains, and building reputations that actually last

We explore:

• Why poor culture and communication sit at the heart of so many project failures
• The real impact of non-payment and commercial pressure on people and businesses
• Suicide and mental health in construction, and why silence makes the problem worse
• Inclusion in construction and why the industry still has work to do
• How better leadership, accountability, and communication can genuinely change outcomes

This is a deep, honest, and at times uncomfortable conversation but a necessary one.
