Australia's most friendly builder?

“I remember crying, driving back to Geelong because it was just too much.” In this Mindful Builder Podcast episode, Devin Grant of Performance Membranes shares the real story behind building a successful construction business and what happens when the workload finally catches up with you.We talk burnout, six-day weeks, and the lessons Devin learned after starting Granted Constructions in 2013. Then we get into the practical side of Passive House building in Australia; why it’s not a “spaceship”, why it’s “just a house done right”, and what Devin’s learned from living in his own Passive House for 8+ years.We also unpack Devin’s work with Performance Membranes, training 2,500+ builders and trades in airtightness, weatherproofing, and building better-performing homes.👇 CHAPTER MARKERS 👇00:00 Introduction01:06 Meet Devin: A Journey in the Building Industry01:37 Early Career Challenges and Growth05:36 Transition to Commercial Projects08:35 Burnout and Rediscovery10:29 Discovering Passive House13:22 Living in a Passive House: Real Experiences21:31 Building Better: The Future of Construction27:06 The Origin of Performance Membranes29:19 Growth and Industry Impact30:08 Customer Retention and Training31:09 Product Sponsorship and Alignment31:48 The Evolution of Building Standards33:01 The Importance of Proper Membrane Use41:13 New Product Developments46:38 The Role of Industry Collaboration51:08 Supporting Apprentices and Future BuildersLINKS:https://proclima.com.au/Performance Membranes:https://membranes.buildInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/performancemembranesau/Connect with us on Instagram: @themindfulbuilderpodConnect with Hamish:Instagram: @sanctumhomesWebsite: www.yoursanctum.com.au/Connect with Matt: Instagram: @carlandconstructionsWebsite: www.carlandconstructions.com/
