Episode 5: Built Grid & MVH Constructions – Systems, Scale, and High-Performance Building
Haydn’s final day in Melbourne is a big one, with two very different visits that highlight how modern builders are evolving their systems, thinking, and construction methods. The day begins in Richmond with BuiltGrid, an industry partner focused on improving procurement by better connecting builders with subcontractors through smarter systems and long-term industry insight.
From there, Haydn heads to Toorak to visit Mark from MVH Constructions, a high-end architectural builder specialising in ultra-high-performance passive homes. Mark walks Haydn through a live project that combines prefabricated construction, airtight building envelopes, and European triple-glazed windows to deliver homes that are not only architecturally striking, but healthier, more efficient, and built to last.
Across both visits, the conversation centres on preparation, precision, and why the right systems allow builders to take on complex projects with confidence rather than stress.
