House builders and tradespeople deemed as "trusted" will be able to sign off their own work under a self-certification scheme to be introduced by the government. Building and construction Minister Chris Penk spoke to Corin Dann.

A promise tradies have to get it right when they sign-off their own work under new rules. The Building and Construction Minister has announced a scheme to let approved firms and tradies like plumbers and drainlayers self-approve work on simple residential jobs. Companies deemed reputable could opt-in. Chris Penk says they'll have to undertake a process of promising quality. "And there will be standards, obviously, that they've got to continue to meet, they've got to have the right sorts of assurances and insurance in place as well - so they've got every incentive to get it right."

There's a belief better pathways to industry and trades training are needed. A report from the New Zealand Initiative has found just 6% of 16-to-19 year-olds participate in workplace learning, while 11% are unemployed. It states schools are geared toward university education, even though only about a third enrol in degrees. Report author Michael Johnston says apprenticeship options need to be more visible to young people. He told Mike Hosking part of the problem is apprenticeship training is viewed as being for the kids who don't cope with the academic path. Johnston says we need to rearrange the system so that young people, regardless of their background and propensities, look at apprenticeship training as a viable option.

"Burnout doesn't announce itself—it sneaks in quietly and takes a toll on your body, mind, and business.” In this episode of The ToolShed Podcast, we dive into the all-too-common challenges of burnout, stress, and exhaustion that builders and tradies face daily. I sat down with Luke Shipley, the creator of Boost Fuel for Tradies, to uncover practical strategies that can transform your energy and reduce stress without gimmicks or quick fixes. Luke shares his journey from burnout to vitality, using herbal remedies, yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques to create a sustainable, balanced lifestyle. “Small changes lead to big results when you're consistent and intentional about caring for yourself.”  Key takeaways from this episode include: • The dangers of relying on caffeine and energy drinks. • How herbal supplements can replenish energy naturally. • The benefits of yoga and meditation for builders. • Breathing techniques that calm your mind and body. • Why sustainable habits are essential for long-term success.

If you run a trade business and get your work from other businesses, not individual people, then you need to be doing business-to-business marketing. Before you dismiss marketing and say you don't do it, consider this: you're doing some form of marketing, or you wouldn't get any business.And for most businesses, business to business marketing is required. Say:- If you're a builder specialising in architectural work, architects and designers can refer work to you.- If you do front-end work, you might call designers, state managers, and even target customers directly. - If you do work with government agencies, subcontract to builders, or work controlled by property managers.All these people (employees or owners of businesses) are either in control of awarding work or have influence. So if you're someone who works with those types of companies you need to be engaging in business to business marketing. You need to be calling these people, and forming relationships with them. Not just once but repeatedly - nurturing these relationships so you can get repeat work. Want help?

Women have been trying to make their mark in the male dominated building and construction industry for decades. Less than 3 per cent of the trades and construction workforce are women and that's been the case since the late 1980s. Advocates in the industry are encouraging women to take up the tools but say there are still significant barriers to entry.

Amid a labour shortage in the sectors like the construction industry, there has been a call to support the recruitment and retention of female tradies. SBS speaks to Jo Farrell, the founder of not-for-profit Build Like A Girl.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Cath McDowell, the driving force behind Howrah Plumbing.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Cath McDowell believes the hardest part of growing a small business is maintaining a strong company culture while scaling. Balancing growth with the personal touch that built the business initially can be a significant challenge. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Cath McDowell mentions that she doesn't have a favorite business book, as she primarily focused on training courses and practical skills for her professional development. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Cath McDowell doesn't have specific recommendations for podcasts or online learning resources for growing a small business. She prefers practical training and hands-on learning over online resources. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Cath McDowell recommends having strong support around you as a key tool for growing a small business. She emphasizes the importance of a good team and supportive people who can help with daily tasks, job reviews, and equipment decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Cath McDowell would advise herself to take holidays whenever possible and enjoy time off. She reflects that she never expected to stay at the same company for her entire career, and encourages balancing work with personal time.

Hannah Berner - We Ride at DawnLaura: Netflix doco Jacinta Then we get into your questions: TRADIES IN HOUSE Recently we have been having renovations done to our house, meaning lots of trades coming and going. Tradies were literally arriving at our house and not long after were requesting to use the toilet and doing number 2s (with the sound effects). Not just a once off; this was happening everyday of the renos. Am I the only one to think this is not acceptable? My husband was a lot more understanding than I was; maybe because I'm the one who had to clean it!?). Should tradies not ask to use the toilet if they need to do a poo or am I just being very unreasonable!! DOES YOUR PARTNER INTERACT WITH YOU AT THE END OF THE DAY? My boyfriend's default after coming home from work is to be on his phone , watch reels, news, stocks etc. I have told him before to give me attention for a few minutes and just be nice to me so I feel loved. Tonight, Friday night, I'm home from work and looking out onto the balcony as if it's a nice sunset. He comes home, says hi (the door is right across from the balcony ) and sits on the sofa and starts looking at phone. (I was expecting him to walk over to me and give me a hug and kiss). I ask him to come out to the balcony and he says no and continues looking at phone. After a few minutes I ask him to give me some attention (exact words: "babe can you give me some attention?") He throws his phone down and says "stop complaining" and goes into the bedroom and doesn't come out for 45mins. He came out later to the living room and said sorry but he was upset. I asked him to come outside, and he didn't want to. He thinks I'm dramatic and I create a scene ....What do you think? Is it normal to want to be greeted at the end of a work day or am I expecting something that isn't normal? SIS IN LAW SHOWER WITH MY DAUGHTER My sister in law has showered my daughter with her a couple of times, which I don't feel comfortable with. My biggest issue is that she never asks if it is okay before doing it. I have mentioned it to my husband but he didn't really think it was a big deal. How do you bring the conversation up without creating an argument because his family is always on the defence about everything I saw and did.
