In this episode I am joined by Matthew Mackey, National Director – Cost and Commercial at Arcadis and Chair & Founder of Property Leaders Brisbane.    Matthew is a leader in the cost and commercial space and passionate about the industry. He is a keen networker and founded the Property Leaders Brisbane Group. He has recently released a “Great Expectations” paper looking at trends and tender prices foe 2021 and launched Cost Clarity, a digital portal to significantly improve the client experience with all things cost.     In this episode we talk about:    - Matthews move to Australia 10 Years ago and a career pivot that didn’t quite work out.    - Great Expectations and the challenges in predicting the shape of an economic recovery.   - How political drivers and lack of mid to long term thinking could result in a double dip recession for QLD and other states.    - Why asset recycling should be back on the table for QLD and the need for more innovative investment solutions for infrastructure in the state.   - Why tender prices have risen in a falling market in QLD and what Matthews see’s for the rest of the county in 2021 and beyond.    - Why Matthew is so excited by their development of technology to deliver better experiences and outcomes for their clients.     Matthew can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattmackey/ Our podcast on YouTube can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY8hT76Zauw&feature=youtu.be INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE:    Integrated Infrastructure is a podcast dedicated to bringing news and views from industry leaders involved in the development, design, construction and management of the many built forms that make up Australia’s integrated infrastructure.   Integrated infrastructure is powered by North Search, specialists in executive and technical search across engineering, design, construction, property and energy markets in Australia.    About North Search:   North Search is a provider of executive and technical search services and partner of choice for leading organisations when identifying and appointing top performers in the Asia Pacific region.   Established in 2015 North Search has developed a reputation for delivering technically complex and challenging roles in skill-short markets.   We understand that the success of your business is driven by acquiring the best teams and leaders.
