The problem isn’t local—it’s national, threatening buyers, subcontractors, and even superannuation holders invested in risky private credit firms. Soaring material costs, razor-thin margins, fixed-price contracts bleeding money, and a volatile housing market fueled by interest rates and tax changes have created a perfect storm. Meanwhile, skilled tradespeople are in short supply, pulled away by booming data centers, driving up wages and squeezing budgets further.
