CHAPTERS:
1:03 Can you tell us about your background and explain how you became such an expert in this sector?
2:48 How did the big corporate Autodesk environment compare coming from a background of running your own businesses?
4:12 Can you provide a description and background of the methods of construction for people who get confused with all the language?
9:01 Where’s the biggest opportunity for industrialised construction to be adopted more widely? Where is it being adopted well? And where could it be adopted better?
10:38 So you mentioned the UK glitch, do you want to dive into that a bit further?
14:34 You mentioned Singapore, is there anywhere else you think are getting this right? Where should the guys from UK be going to take inspiration?
16:59 Do you think the client has responsibility to try and ask for something that exists rather than wanting the moon on the stick and it to be modularly construction at the same time?
20:01 Do you think the economy and market conditions had anything to do with it? Or is that just an excuse?
22:48 You’ve mentioned governments and wider ecosystems a couple of times. What do you think needs to happen to facilitate more better industrialised construction?
26:23 So, should we be ignoring government and cracking on in terms of improving the construction process?
29:33 What’s next for Amy? What are your targets for the next 6, 12 months? And what do you hope to achieve at Symetri?
