Own The Build
Own the Build is the podcast for Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Directors who want to sharpen their commercial edge and lead with confidence.
Hosted by Paul Heming, former Commercial leader and now co-founder of C-Link, each week’s conversation dives into the realities of modern commercial management — from procurement and contracts to digital transformation and leadership in construction.
Through honest discussions with industry leaders, forensic planners, and forward-thinking QSs, Paul explores how the best commercial teams deliver profit, performance, and project certainty in a changing industry.
If you’re serious about mastering the commercial side of construction — this is where you build your advantage.

How one woman’s attempt to save her family business is saving UK construction (EP 100)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this landmark episode, Own the Build has a first in having three special guests in the studio. Paul is joined by Katie Hathaway (Head of Business Engagement and Communications), Natalie King (Operations Director) and Nicola Bird (Managing Director) at AccXel, the UK’s first industry-led, co-funded construction school.
In this funny and heart-warming conversation, Katie, Natalie and Nicola talk about their inspiration for founding AccXel being to save a family business and that this is now the wider industry:
“AccXel is not just a training school; it is an ideology based on experience, data, strong values and the aspiration of future-proofing the industry.”
The work being done at AccXel is genuinely phenomenal, and all in construction should want to understand it better. As promised, you can find links to our guest's LinkedIn profiles below:
