What should builders actually expect from a product supplier?

For , it goes beyond supplying the cladding. Their team works with builders from takeoffs and pricing through to pre-cladding inspections, checking accessories, batten spacing and making sure everything is ready before installation begins.

Ashley Batey, NZ Sales Manager, explains why being on site and giving builders the right support from the outset is such an important part of how Innova works.

Can construction workers really become twice as productive?

Brandon O'Reilly from Stackcell believes they can.

By simplifying the construction process and designing smarter systems, builders spend less time switching between tasks and more time doing productive work.

The result? One carpenter can complete work that would traditionally involve multiple trades - helping projects move faster while reducing unnecessary complexity.

How can a 15-storey building cost almost the same to build as a much smaller one?

According to Brandon O'Reilly from Stackcell, it comes down to repetition.

As construction teams repeat the same process floor after floor, they become more efficient. Materials are delivered exactly where they're needed, productivity improves, and unnecessary delays are reduced.

It's a practical example of how smarter construction systems can improve efficiency without adding complexity.

How do you build a 330-unit development in just 557 working days?

It's not about pushing people to work faster.

In this episode of Building Pulse, Brandon O'Reilly explains how Stackcell combines repeatable construction systems, lean thinking and better project planning to remove delays before they happen.

The result is a more predictable build programme, improved productivity and ultimately more affordable housing.

Sometimes innovation isn't about working harder - it's about removing the friction.
