  • Summary

  • _Now is the time to press play on my next property development! _ This podcast conversation between Simon Cator and Murray Alcock explores Murray’s career in property development and construction, his experience with building techniques, and his current efforts to improve housing design and energy efficiency in New Zealand. Murray is committed to building homes that do not introduce long-term problems to the buyers, emphasizing the importance of keeping the right balance between individual elements such as for example mechanical ventilation & airtightness, choice of materials, maintaining cost efficiency while meeting higher environmental and livability standards. He aims to improve construction efficiency by standardizing designs, reducing custom elements, and using offsite manufacturing techniques. The focus is on scalable terrace housing projects designed for long-term investors, with an emphasis on reducing waste and streamlining the construction process. "If we continue just building to code, we're actually building problems into houses for people for the future." , says Murray when talking about what triggered his interest and what is his main driver when it comes to sustainable building.
