14-15 May, 2024 | Royal International Convention Centre, Brisbane
The annual gathering for the people and companies redefining Australasia’s construction industry
CONFERENCE | EXHIBITION | NETWORKING EVENTS
The Future of Construction Summit (FCON) is the construction industry’s premier national event focused on creating a more progressive, productive and sustainable construction industry.
Launched in 2021, FCON has been held in Sydney and Melbourne. In 2024 FCON moves to Brisbane which is undergoing a “once in a generation” infrastructure boom and where billions of dollars of major Infrastructure Projects are either underway or well into the planning stages.
What better place to bring construction leaders together to discuss all the key issues.
FCON24 will feature:
FCON24 will bring together senior leaders to discuss the following topics:
The construction industry is experiencing major headwinds that are expected to persist well into the future. With the industry already accounting for a quarter of all business insolvencies, it’s time to disrupt or die.
The construction industry is experiencing major headwinds that are expected to persist well into the future. With the industry already accounting for a quarter of all business insolvencies, it’s time to disrupt or die.
The industry’s challenges are well known—so are the solutions. Positive steps forward are being taken every day but for this highly connected industry a collective and disruptive response is needed now.
Improving productivity performance is not a matter of choice. The industry is facing a critical workforce shortage of 105,000 workers within the next 12 months and with low unemployment there is no volume of migration or training that will solve this challenge.
The silver bullet is improved productivity—doing more with less. What are the top 5 things we can do now to kick start productivity growth?
Short remarks: John Priestland, Founder, The C-Tech Club (UK)
One of the biggest barriers to change is the lack of trust that exists between all stakeholders in the industry. How do we learn to trust again so that we only need a 2-page contract to deliver a $1Bn project?
In this session, Earlytrade shares their perspective on the global construction industry, including:
Earlytrade is the fastest growing technology company currently in the construction sector. Their clients have saved $40m using their technology platform whilst subcontractors have been paid $1.5 billion early.
What does a disrupted industry look like? How do we become a more flexible and attractive workplace? What skills will be needed? Can a site engineer work from home?
Infrastructure influences 70% of Australia’s emissions and a collaborative and coordinated response is required now. Technology and innovation will have a key role to play in the transition, along with clear government policy that is supportive of sustainability considerations and forward-thinking planning. Time to take action and accelerate the decarbonisation of Australia’s infrastructure.
The construction industry faces more problems than other industries: workforce shortages, supply chain delays, safety concerns; it’s not a short list. The tools needed to transform the industry and mitigate the growing challenges already exist today. See how technology can bring the productivity that’s needed for business to prosper, all while also delivering predictable outcomes and attracting a new generation to get excited about construction.
The industry has no choice but to transform, if for no other reason than to maintain a workforce large enough to deliver the substantial pipeline of work it is being called on to deliver. Hear from up-and-coming leaders paving the way for a transformed industry.
In this session we bring together delegates in a series of facilitated round table discussions. Leading industry experts will kick off discussions with a 5-minute TED talk on disruption around the key theme of their session, before opening it to a table wide interactive discussion.
Roundtable 1: How equipment hire can benefit the future of construction and reduce disruption?
A circular economy aims to reduce the environmental impacts of production and consumption while enabling economic growth. This concept is not new, and the equipment hire industry has been doing this for over 50 years. Hire can also assist the construction industry with their sustainability and net zero goals, as well as provide economic, environmental and safety benefits – which is why hire is the solution for the future of construction.
Led by: James Oxenham, CEO, HRIA and George Whyte, Managing Director, Aggreko APAC and Dan Goodfellow, Group Manager – Products, Coates
Roundtable 2: Examining how to best modernise your construction business with Industrial and Connected Private Networks
In this session we discuss how Industrial Networks will transform and support construction as well as drive numerous Industry 4.0 initiatives. Industrial Networks (including 5G) is key in unlocking the potential of smart construction and accelerating data-driven digital transformation. Discover how Industrial Networks can help by enabling a safer and more secure worksite, reduce risk and liability and optimise resources.
Led by: Alan Seery, Managing Director, Aqura and Mitchell Gooden, General Manager, Aqura
Roundtable 3: Improving engagement between Constructors and their subbies
Through an analysis of the subcontractor perspectives during procurement and based on our survey data, we discuss insights including anecdotal commentary from subbies that have had both positive and negative experiences with builders during the procurement process. We will deep dive into issues such as ‘why subbies are reluctant to price for you and others with the aim of facilitating an interactive discussion that helps both sides to understand each other better and work towards having more productive relationships.
Led by: Michael Ashcroft, Director, EstimateOne
Roundtable 4: Balancing growth, technology and staying true to your construction roots
Join Andrew Deveson, Co-Founder and Director of Kapitol Group, for a no BS conversation about going out on your own, staying ahead of the curve and running a construction company. Hosted by CEO and Co-Founder of HammerTech, Ben Leach, this session aims to candidly discuss the challenges and reality of making it in construction no matter what business you are part of.
Led by: Ben Leach, CEO & Co-Founder, HammerTech and Andrew Deveson, Director, Kapitol Group
Roundtable 5: Change Management to prosper in the Construction Industry
Making the most of digital tools requires active acceptance and use by team members. Considering the perspectives of users when assessing potential technologies and articulating the benefits of transformation for all levels are critical to building enthusiasm for introducing new technologies. Importantly, businesses need to back this up with a solid change management strategy and plan. A well-developed change management program should skills development, transition support, clear communications of defined milestones and consistent tracking of success measures.
Led by: Sumit Oberoi, Industry Strategy Manager, Autodesk Construction Solutions (ACS)
Roundtable 6: How using practical digital processes can reduce costs and benefit Contractors and Clients on major infrastructure projects
Current DE, BIM and EIR standards and mandates may not be as useful to contractors due to their complexity and limited applicability. To address this, a roundtable will present successful implementations of digital tools and technologies like IFC standards, drones, and planning algorithms that have led to increased productivity and cost savings for Australian Tier 1 Contractors. The discussion will explore the potential for these solutions to be adopted by the entire supply chain.
Led by: Pieter Rautenbach, Infrastructure & Construction Manager, Deswik
Roundtable 7: How will the Construction Industry attract and enable the future generation of white collar professionals?
The Australian Constructors Association believe the biggest opportunity to disrupt the industry and improve productivity lies in fundamentally by improving how projects are procured, delivered and governed—essentially white-collar activities. “White collar occupations account for the majority of the construction industry’s 105,000 skills shortage estimated by mid-2023,” Jon Davies, ACA. If there are no changes within AEC we will struggle to find skilled workers as no-one wants to work in an inefficient industry where it affects their quality of life. How can we improve our industry to attract new talent?
Led by: Swain Johnson, ANZ MTWO Construction Cloud Sales Director, SoftwareONE
Roundtable 8: A practical guide for moving towards a Circular Economy in the built environment
Transitioning to a Circular Economy is a crucial next step if we’re to create a sustainable future for our planet. As more of us learn about circularity – and what it means for the built environment – we have a chance to create change and cut through any confusion together. In this discussion we examine what needs to be done to transition the built environment as we head towards zero carbon across the built world.
Led by: Haneen Jaber, Sustainability and Social Impact Lead, Victoria, Built
Roundtable 9: Disrupting culture
Everyone has a role to play in creating a new industry culture. But how do we establish a standard approach to improved practices for all industry stakeholders to meet? This roundtable will discuss the new construction industry Culture Standard including addressing the key areas of long working hours, lack of diversity and wellbeing.
Led by: Deb Cownley, Group Manager, John Holland Way and Project Manager, Construction Industry Culture Taskforce

Leading the charge: The latest trends in construction
A look at some of the top technology trends in the construction industry including Internet of Things, augmented reality, data analytics, robotics and more.
There has been some positive change to prevailing procurement models for major energy and infrastructure projects in an attempt to redistribute risk allocation. At a time of unprecedented demand for infrastructure, these changes can’t come soon enough and more needs to be done, including to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself and that these gains are not eroded. In this session, we examine the current and emerging risks, how the industry has responded and, most importantly, the answers and tools available to contractors to ensure fairer sharing of risk and reward in delivering major projects.
Again, we bring together delegates in a series of facilitated and engaging roundtable discussions. Leading industry experts will again kick off with a 5-minute TED talk on disruption around the key theme of their session, before opening it to a table wide interactive discussion.
Roundtable 1: How to develop and share innovation across your organisation?
In this discussion we examine how best to encourage, develop and then share innovation across the various construction projects within your organisation. The sharing of great ideas is often a challenge, but when performed well, can be immensely important. We look at what prevents the sharing of ideas and what can be done to better foster innovation integration across your organisation.
Led by: Claudelle Taylor, ICT General Manager, Innovation Integration, CIMIC
Roundtable 2: Fostering Employee Buy-In for New Construction Technology
Construction companies know that the industry’s future is digital, but there is a widespread struggle to create employee buy-in around technology solutions.

In this session we look at some of the common challenges and the best practice solutions when it comes to effectively analysing data within construction.
Led by: Gregory Koteras, GM Applications and Emerging Technology, John Holland
Roundtable 10: Overcoming the common gaps in Construction Contracting software
There is a little-known problem with construction software; developers have not built all the modules that can assist leaders in making better decisions to therefore reduce risk. We will examine 10 practices that, if added, would help settle a chaotic business environment for the company owner including some common best practices.
Led by: Matt Stevens, Lecturer in Construction Management, University of Western Sydney
Roundtable 11: Disrupting the construction procurement model
Dominant procurement practices create significant waste and barriers to innovation. The highest-leverage opportunity for immediate productivity improvement is to reset the procurement paradigm. This requires a significant transformation in attitudes, culture, and commercial frameworks among all participants in capital projects. Let’s talk about how to get it done.
Led by: Robert Sobyra, Head of Policy, Australian Constructors Association
