#8 - Learning, Leading, and Healthy Homes with Luke Callery
In this episode of the Building Sciology Poddie, I chat with Luke Callery, the founder of Callery Building, an Adelaide-based construction company, increasingly known for its commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and energy-efficient building practices. Luke shares his journey from a traditional carpentry apprenticeship to embracing high-performance building techniques through programs like Elevate. He discusses the importance of education, networking, and collaboration in the construction industry, as well as the challenges and successes of growing his team and adapting to client expectations. The conversation highlights the significance of building better homes that prioritize comfort, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
