In this special episode Richard Deakin chats with Dr Georgia McGregor, CoreLogic's in-house construction data expert. Georgia has a fascinating background, having completed an Honours thesis on extraterrestrial architecture, followed by a PhD focussed on architecture in video games. She talks us through her studies, and their relevance to her current role as construction data expert within CoreLogic's Cordell costings team.
Georgia then touches on what it's like being a women in the building industry, her view on the sector's outlook, as well as similarities and differences between the New Zealand and Australian construction markets.
As part of the team responsible for maintaining and updating our market-leading costings database, which powers a number of solutions including Cordell Sum Sure and Cordell Commercial Estimator, Georgia also provides insight into how this data is kept up-to-date, as well talking about some of the trickier costings problems they have recently had to solve, including working out how much a commercial building weighs!
