A construction expert says customers could soon face price hikes of 25%. Stats NZ data shows petrol prices rose almost 19% last month, while diesel prices were up almost 43%. AUT Professor John Tookey says the industry heavily relies on oil for producing and transporting materials. He says the destruction of oil wells and processing facilities in the Middle East could take years or decades to rebuild. Tookey says, if it continues, there will be major problems which could become the new normal. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“I built SPOT to get it to this level, I want to shoot it past to where everyone has a 3D model that's all baked in.”Join Devon as he chats with John Brock of SPOT! John is a custom home design/build contractor, an expert 3D modeler, author of “SketchUp for Builders,” and a SketchUp Extension Developer, specializing in building highly detailed 3D models of construction projects—both his own projects and now for builders across North America. His 3D models are used during the pre-construction phase to identify any issues, design mistakes, clashes, and other potential problems, saving time and money.From SPOT's website: "SPOT was built by a custom home builder for BUILDERS! We experienced firsthand the frustration of juggling multiple disconnected tools, losing data in the gaps, and dealing with constant communication breakdowns between the office and the field. We saw builders struggling with fragmented software solutions that forced them to enter the same data multiple times, made it impossible to see the big picture, and left field teams without the information they needed when they needed it. Our mission is simple: create a true Single Point of Truth for residential construction. One platform where drawings, models, schedules, estimates, and field documentation all work together seamlessly. Because builders deserve tools that work as hard as they do."Take a listen to the mentioned episodes (listed in order mentioned in this episode): AOC 376: The AI revolution in constructionAOC 136: Buildertrend Series: How Client Communication Can Change Your BusinessAOC 157: How a Video Game Became Architecture's Most Powerful New ToolAOC 275: Building a System Built Factory in the Colorado MountainsAOC 241: How a Robot Dog Creates a Single Source of Truth on ProjectsKeep up with the Art of Construction (AOC) podcast on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

In this episode, CMAA's Carly Trout and Evan Hendershot are joined by Michael Griffin, partner at HKA, and Shawn Farrell, partner at Cohen Seglias, to discuss the evolving roles and responsibilities of construction managers and the growing risk and liability landscape. They outline the CM's core functions—managing, advising, documenting, and keeping owners informed with “no surprises”—and compare the role to an air traffic controller coordinating schedule, cost, and multiple trades. The conversation highlights how early risk identification, timely owner decisions, and prompt payment can help prevent issues from escalating into disputes. Michael and Shawn also walk through practical steps to take when contractor performance begins to falter, including maintaining thorough documentation, providing proper notice, and operating within contractual authority. They conclude with a look at expanding CM liability, including exposure to negligent misrepresentation, and share a checklist of best practices, such as aligning contract language with actual duties, communicating carefully, and avoiding directives related to means and methods.

Aaron sits down with Glen Kunofsky, Founder and CEO of SURMOUNT, for a wide-ranging conversation on growing up in a middle-class New York household, buying his first investment property at 19, and spending three years in brokerage without a meaningful paycheck before finally cracking the code on net lease. Glen shares how a chance connection with Carol's Corp unlocked a career-defining pivot away from hotels, how his wife's KPMG salary kept the lights on during the lean years, and why relationships over transactions isn't just a hat on the wall — it's the operating system behind a firm that grew from 35 to 130 people in three years.

Interview with Keith Boyle, Director & CEO of New Found GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-gold-tsxvnfg-2025s-strategic-transformation-to-2026-production-8915Recording date: 23rd January 2026New Found Gold Corporation has commenced the execution phase of its flagship Queensway gold project in Newfoundland by awarding the engineering, procurement and construction management contract to WSP Canada. The appointment culminates a competitive selection process involving seven firms and positions the company to achieve first production in late 2027 through an integrated development strategy coordinating engineering, environmental permitting, and project financing.The development plan centres on expanding the acquired Pine Cove mill to 1,400 tonnes per day capacity by converting the facility from flotation to a gravity-CIL circuit and adding a parallel processing train using equipment relocated from the Nugget Pond facility. This approach leverages existing permitted infrastructure obtained through the Maritime Resources acquisition rather than constructing greenfield facilities, reducing both capital requirements and development timeline risk. Pine Cove currently processes 700 tonnes per day from the Hammerdown mine, which is ramping to steady-state production in the first half of 2026 and will generate cash flow during Queensway development.CEO Keith Boyle's selection of an EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management) contract structure over traditional EPC reflects management's experience in project delivery and prioritisation of execution certainty over aggressive cost minimisation. The EPCM approach allows collaborative execution with WSP while maintaining owner involvement and flexibility for design optimisation as engineering advances. WSP was selected from five proposals based on relevant mill expansion experience and commenced preliminary work before year-end, establishing early integration with New Found Gold's permitting and financing timelines.The company has structured its path to production around three parallel workstreams coordinated by COO Robert Assabgui. Vice President of Sustainability Jared Saunders is advancing the environmental assessment application through Stantech, targeting submission in Q1 2026. Stantech secured Firefly Metals' environmental approval in 45 days during 2025, providing a relevant precedent for timeline expectations. The environmental assessment process operates independently of WSP's engineering advancement, allowing simultaneous progress without creating schedule dependencies.Meanwhile, Cutfield Freeman is structuring project financing for Queensway development, with management reporting strong interest from potential financing partners. The financing workstream must align with engineering schedules to ensure capital availability for long-lead equipment purchases and construction mobilisation following permit approvals. These represent the next critical milestones following environmental assessment approval.The investment case combines multiple elements: de-risked development through acquired infrastructure, experienced management executing proven development models, near-term catalysts providing sequential de-risking opportunities, Newfoundland's permitting certainty, and management's reported financing confidence. The Hammerdown production ramp provides near-term cash flow while Queensway advances through development, creating a portfolio structure with both production and development components.Investors should monitor environmental assessment approval, financing commitment announcement, and long-lead equipment procurement as key milestones over the next 12-18 months. Each milestone achievement should reduce perceived execution risk and potentially re-rate valuation toward production-stage multiples. The late 2027 production target provides a defined investment horizon for evaluating execution progress, while the current gold price environment above $4,500 per ounce provides economic headroom supporting proper engineering investment without compromising project returns.New Found Gold's disciplined approach to service provider selection and integrated execution framework positions the company to differentiate itself among junior developers through demonstrated execution capability rather than aggressive timelines with minimal professional support.View New Found Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
