In this powerful relaunch of The Puzzle Factory, Alex sits down with David Baker, founder of Rapid QS — the estimating service shaking up the New Zealand construction industry. We dive deep into the broken state of trade pricing, including inflated quotes from government departments and why transparency in construction costs is long overdue.

✅ How Rapid QS is helping tradies quote smarter and win more jobs
✅ The real impact of bad pricing on electricians, builders, and project managers
✅ What David’s building next for the future of trade pricing in NZ and Worldwide
