Build Insite - Live
As proud partners of Build Insite, Circa and Bowens were delighted to support an event that reflected shared values of collaboration, innovation, education and industry connection. The event was brought together through close collaboration between Build Insite, Circa and Bowens, with Bowens BDM Damien Thomas playing a key behind the scenes role in connecting the partnership and supporting the afternoon’s program.
Hosted by Build Insite founders Luke Callery and Dean Backman, the event featured live panel discussions, guided product tours, supplier showcases and networking opportunities designed to encourage practical insight and authentic industry conversation. The Build Insite Podcast has quickly become a respected platform for builders, tradies, architects and innovators exploring high performance homes, sustainability, business management and the evolving construction landscape, and Build Insite Live successfully translated that dialogue into a live format.
The afternoon included two live podcast panels within the Circa showroom, alongside guided tours of the Bowens selection and hardware spaces led by Andrew Healy. Guest speakers included Jesse Raeburn (FRP Group), Dale Cheeseman (The Melbourne Builder), Matt Menichelli (Elevate Building Group), Sam Hammond (Hammond Built), Luke Davies (Davies Construction & Future Builder), and Adam Antony (Veo Building Co.) who each shared perspectives on building challenges, emerging trends, business growth and the future opportunities shaping the industry.
For Circa and Bowens, the event reinforced the importance of creating spaces and opportunities that bring industry professionals together, not only to showcase products and innovation, but to foster genuine collaboration and community.
With the success of the inaugural event, Build Insite Live has firmly established itself as an exciting new platform for the Australian building industry.
In the words of the Build Insite team, “This industry is hungry for real conversation.” That sentiment was evident throughout the event, with attendees engaging openly, sharing experiences and building new professional connections.
