Inertian Insight – December 2023

In his end-of-year wrap, Inertia’s Managing Director, Scott Clements, reflects on the interesting journey the construction industry has taken in 2023. From swift changes in governmental strategies at both state and federal levels to the challenges posed by inflation and the escalation of construction costs, he discusses the industry’s unpredictable changes and how 2024 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years ever!

Inertia Engineering was delighted to participate in the UDIA Queensland Awards for Excellence Lunch, hosted by Mitchell Brandtman at Brisbane City Hall.

Represented by Jed Michel, Benjamin Moyle, Ryan Llewelyn, and Adam Iervese, the team applauded the 24 finalists and winners who have contributed significantly to the development of outstanding projects and communities for Queenslanders.

Benjamin had a special reason to celebrate as he played a pivotal role in the QLD Best Boutique Project of the Year. He was responsible for all civil design aspects of the project. Although he has moved on from this endeavour, his expertise deserves recognition. Well done, Benjamin!

Our Inertians spotted out and about on Thursday – Sean Stacey, Scott Clements, Emma Clements and Gregg Hoesman at the The Urban Developer Long Lunch, seeing out the final TUD event for 2023!

Engaging discussions fuelled our anticipation for a promising new year, as industry leaders shared valuable insights into the realm of property development. Their perspectives leaving us encouraged and well prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. Thanks for having us The Urban Developer!

Why is it important to extend creativity in the workplace? We welcomed back Dr Cathryn Lloyd of Maverick Minds, for a Weekly Elevate session, and Inertians spent time reflecting on our annual event, Inertia Connect, where their working together in an imaginative environment was filled with music and art. By revisiting the lessons learned we’ve uncovered some golden insights; from embracing uniqueness to stepping outside comfort zones, these principles resonate with daily growth as we seek alternative ways to solve problems.

Our commitment to excellence and continuous growth is a tune we play every day. The team has provided valuable input for our next Inertia Connect in 2024, and we can hardly wait to share it with you. In the meantime, we strive to be better each day whilst bringing greater collaboration and creativity into our service and solutions.

The results are in, and we would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to you all for generously donating $6, 425 for Movember!

Your contribution in changing the face of men’s health will be used to towards critical biomedical research, aiming to break new ground in addressing prostate cancer and improving the quality of life for the 11 million men affected by it. The most common cancer among young men is testicular cancer and Movember is committed to funding research and providing accessible resources. Additionally, this incredible movement is focused on supporting mental health and building stronger connections to reduce the alarming rate of one man lost to suicide every minute worldwide.

We are so proud of all our Inertians who collectively moved 1937 kilometres in the name of men’s health. And in the spirit of giving, mo’ing and mo’ving, lets celebrate our grand winners of Movember’s tallies.

• Magnificent Movement: Juan Mantilla – Moving 415 kilometres this month, smashing it even while holidaying in Europe
• Fantastic Fundraising: Emma Clements – Our Highest Fundraiser, raising over $1,400 in the Inertia Mo’ment
• Most Excellent Mo: Codey Stonier – Our Cowboy Codey, nailing those marvellous handlebars
• Not So Excellent Mo: Dave Kelly – While his attempt to grow a mo may have fallen short, for Dave, it’s more than just facial hair, he has a secret superpower..

A huge shoutout to Luke Grzesiczak and Emma Skea as they championed this month’s activities and a special thanks to Josh Penollar for bringing the goods to Inertia HQ and sharing the importance of this cause. Until next year… Mo’ on, Mo’ Strong!

A huge congratulations to Kai and Blake on their promotions! We are thrilled to recognise these elevations of Blake McCurdy, now a fully-fledged Senior Structural Drafter and Kai Xu, who has ascended to Senior Structural Engineer!
