#121 Building Fairer Payment Practices In The Construction Industry With Mark Ballinger
Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast!
Today I’m joined by Mark Ballinger from Payapps.
Mark’s story isn’t what you’d expect. He came from finance and tech, landed in construction by accident, and found himself deep in one of the industry’s biggest headaches: getting paid on time.
Now he leads strategy for Payapps, the Autodesk platform bringing builders and subbies on the same page when it comes to claims, variations, and cash flow.
We talked about the tug-of-war over payments, why late pay isn’t always about bad intent, and how the industry’s drowning in red tape that kills efficiency.
Mark’s all about consistency, clarity, and creating one source of truth everyone can trust. He’s convinced that if you want to bring AI into your business, you’d better fix your processes first.
Mark also hates Vegemite. So take that how you will.
Let’s get into it.
