🚨 Episode 1 is LIVE! 🚨
Our first guest on Her Construction Career is Jac McLloyd, and trust us — you’re going to want to hear her story.
Jac’s career in construction started with a shovel in hand and somehow led to building a fish lift (yes, really) in Kangaroo Valley. 🐟 In this clip, she explains what a fish lift actually is — and how a small, quirky project became one of the most memorable of her career.
🎧 In the full episode, Jac reflects on:
- How she accidentally fell into construction (and never looked back)
- Her 21 years building some of Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects
- What it took to balance site life, motherhood, and leadership
- Why she’s passionate about doing the work before the mistakes happen
She’s honest, hilarious, and deeply insightful — the kind of woman who makes you proud to be part of this industry.

Her Construction Career is a limited podcast series sharing the real stories, challenges, and wins of women in construction. Our podcast is made possible thanks to an initiative driven by our Growthbuilt team, with the support of the NSW Women in Construction Industry Innovation Program.
We are proud to announce that we have been selected as the building partner for the final stage of the @levandeliving Cardinal Freeman Project.
The project will see the demolition of some existing Serviced Apartments and the construction of 41 new Independent Living Units, including a new level of basement parking and external landscaped courtyard, all integrated into the existing masterplan.
We plan to draw on our extensive experience working in live and active environments to make the construction process as smooth as possible for surrounding residents and neighbours.
The staff at Growthbuilt, many of whom contributed to the amazing builds of Woolooware Shores, Greenwich Place, and Bella Vista Haven, are passionate about increasing the supply of high-quality Seniors Living housing in Australia. To this end, we’d like to thank Levande for the opportunity to continue to do so with them on the exciting Cardinal Freeman Project.
Last week, we took a moment to celebrate the incredible women of Growthbuilt with a special lunch at Mercado!
We wanted to bring together all the women in our company to recognise their achievements, resilience, and contributions. From department heads to project managers and specialists at every level, their expertise and dedication are shaping the future of our industry.
At Growthbuilt, we are passionate about inspiring the next generation of women to pursue a career in construction, an industry that has long been male-dominated. We are striving to break down barriers and create a future where women thrive in every role.
We’ve got something exciting to share… and what better day to announce it than International Women’s Day?
This International Women’s Day, we’re taking action.
Introducing Her Construction Career - a limited podcast series sharing the real stories, challenges, and wins of women in construction.

Whether you're construction-curious or already in the industry - trust us you’re going to want to hear this! Every episode features an amazing guest sharing their insights, challenges, and the moments that have shaped their careers. 🎧✨

We know that in construction, it’s not just our team that deserves a big shout-out for their hard work, it’s also their families who are there cheering them on and making sure they’re supported through all the hustle and bustle. To show our appreciation for everyone’s efforts, we decided to take a break from the usual routine and host a fun-filled family day at Luna Park 🎡!
This was the perfect chance to bring our incredible team and their loved ones together for some laughter, adventure, and quality time away from the office.
It was so great to see everyone's smiling faces, from partners to kids, and even extended family, having a blast on the rides, enjoying some food, and making memories that will last a lifetime.
This is the third year in a row we've held this fun day out at Luna Park, and everyone looks forward to it. We can't wait for next year! 🎉
Wow, look how far Ethos, Ellis St Chatswood has come!
It feels like just yesterday when the first concrete slab was laid down, and last week we witnessed the remarkable progression of Ethos Chatswood, as it has now officially topped-out which David Hore, Senior Development Manager at Central Element recognised as "a huge milestone".
We are proud to be delivering this project alongside @centralelementproperty , @aboutsjb and MaxCap Group, and as our General Manager Adam Ashcroft said "it takes an army to deliver a project of this nature", and this is a testament to the hard work, collaboration and expertise of everyone involved.
Ethos Chatswood is a landmark development in the heart of Chatswood, offering a collection of ultra-luxury one, two and three bedroom residences and penthouses. It offers wellness facilities, boutique retail spaces and a breathtaking sky lounge.
We can't wait until we're celebrating the residents moving in 🎉
