Summary
In Episode 40 of Jimmy Talks Construction , Jimmy sits down with Jesse Campbell, Construction Manager at City Circle — one of Australia’s largest demolition and recycling companies. This episode dives deep into the reality of modern construction, from the shift away from traditional builders to project management-driven companies, through to the challenges of scaling large infrastructure projects across Victoria and Australia. Jesse shares insights from over 20 years in the industry, including his transition from tier-one building into demolition, and how City Circle has scaled to process nearly 2 million tonnes of concrete annually through demolition, recycling, and material reuse. The conversation covers: Why the construction industry has become more transactional The biggest mistakes in construction management today How large-scale demolition projects are actually delivered The pressure of major infrastructure projects and unrealistic timelines Why businesses can grow fast but still underperform The real role of middle management in construction companies How collaboration between subcontractors can improve outcomes If you’re in construction, civil, earthmoving, or running a contracting business, this episode gives a raw and honest look at what’s really happening on-site and behind the scenes. Listen if you want real-world insights into: construction management, demolition, recycling, infrastructure projects, subcontractor relationships, and scaling a construction business.
