Kapitol Conversations

What does quality really mean in construction today, and why does it matter more than ever?In this episode of Kapitol Conversations, Andrew Deveson is joined by Kapitol Head of Quality Josh Sinnett, Visibuild founder Damien Quinn, and PCF Managing Director Steve Sarris for a candid discussion on quality in construction — where the industry has traditionally fallen short, what poor quality really costs, and how the mindset around it is beginning to shift. The conversation explores how quality has too often been treated as a paperwork exercise rather than a meaningful part of delivery, and why that approach creates waste, rework and avoidable risk across projects. The group reflects on how builders, trade partners and suppliers can work together to embed better systems, stronger accountability and a culture that values workmanship, not just compliance. Throughout the episode, the discussion covers key questions facing the industry right now:What is the real cost of poor quality and rework?Why has quality historically been treated as an afterthought?How can trade partners become more accountable and engaged?What role do leadership and culture play in improving outcomes?How can technology help shift quality from retrospective paperwork to real-time project insight?Where do training, education and lessons learnt fit into long-term industry change?And how can better quality improve not just project performance, but people’s lives? This episode is a practical and honest conversation about waste, culture, technology and responsibility — and why lifting quality is one of the biggest opportunities the construction industry has to improve performance and build better buildings for the future.
