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.

The death of D & B and Traditional Contracting: a new procurement route for the 21st Century (EP 158)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, Paul is joined by his close friend and QS, Chris Barber. Chris is the Chief Visionary Officer (CVO) at C-Link and Prosper and a passionate advocate for subcontractors on his YouTube channel, School of Sub.
This week's conversation centres on an article about construction procurement routes. Main Contracting, as we know it, had its origins in the 19th century, and aside from the introduction of D & B Contracts in the 1980s, not much has changed.
In this episode, Paul and Chris explore why that is, what could change and how clients can create a better project environment for all involved.
