The Daily Dose #236 | Building for Those Who Need It Most With Glenn Crawford | GM of Harnest

We talk a lot about housing in this country — supply, affordability, policy, targets. But we don't always talk about who that housing is actually for.Glenn is the head of Harnessed, a purpose-driven building business operating within the Mazzei Group. For over a decade, he and his team have been doing some of the hardest, most meaningful work in Australian construction — delivering inclusive, affordable, and social housing outcomes for people who genuinely need them. Indigenous communities. Domestic violence survivors. People with disability. The ones Az calls the "missing middle."In this conversation, Glenn breaks down what inclusive housing actually means, why the building is often the easiest part of the problem, and how his business has built a model that is both commercially sustainable and deeply values-driven. We also get into modular construction, key worker housing, the challenges of remote builds, and why wraparound services matter just as much as the roof overhead.It's a raw, honest, and genuinely moving conversation. One of the most important we've had on this podcast.If you're a builder, developer, or supplier who wants to get involved — or if you just want to understand where the real pressure points in Australian housing actually are — this one's worth your full attention.Thanks to this month's Podcast sponsor Pay.com.au, remember our audience gets 20,000 bonus points when you sign up.USE code: GOOD20T&C's apply go to pay.com.au/tgbFor more on Harnest: https://harnest.com.au/about/The Good Builder Directory: https://thegoodbuilder.com.au/business-directory/packages/MyConstruct: https://myconstruct.com/
