Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

Joining us today is Joseph Wainwright, the founder of Wainwright Facades, a successful cladding company based in Canberra. Joseph’s journey is one of hustle, persistence, and overcoming challenges that many in the industry can relate to.

From leaving school at 16 and working odd jobs in the UK, to navigating the ups and downs of starting a business from scratch, Joseph opens up about the reality of building a company in today’s market. He talks about the tough moments: chasing leads that never panned out, dealing with slow-moving jobs, and the challenges of the tendering process.

Joseph also shares a game-changing moment when he lost nearly $864,000 overnight, but instead of giving up, he kept going, proving that grit and perseverance are at the core of success in the construction world.
