Buckle up people because in this episode of the Proptech Podcast we are doing a deep dive into the world of building and construction technology and its a doozy!  My guests are Murray Ellen and Andrew Giles from PT Blink and this is an extended episode because we got totally into a conversation about the problems that desperately need solving in construction and the role of technology to digitise manual work that has been done the same way for centuries.  PT Blink is a very exciting Proptech that is working to "industrialise" construction, using platform technology to manage the logistics and workflows of local building supply manufacturers anywhere to create custom designed flatpack multistorey buildings that can be assembled on site in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost.  Murray is a leading expert is post tension steel technology and has conceived, designed and built major projects around the world including Australia, China, Hong Kong, Dubai and the Philippines - one of which includes Sydney's Olympic stadium. As well as being the founder of PT Blink is a governor of the Sydney University Warren Centre of Advanced Engineering.  Andrew is director of marketing and communications at PT Blink and has had an extensive corporate career in communications roles working for companies including Canon and Edelman.  He is also on the Commercial Advisory committee of the Proptech Association Australia and an enthusiastic advocate for the sector.
