There's a way to behave?
Tackling The Trades With Marlie & Steph
Friday, 6 November 2026 - 34 minutes
Join Marlie Packer and Steph Leese in this episode of Tackling the Trades as they dive into the unwritten rules of site etiquette, bad habits, and pet peeves! From stepping into customers’ homes with dirty boots to leaving a clean workspace for the next trade, they’re breaking down how professional manners, teamwork, and mutual respect make or break your reputation on the tools. This week, Marlie and Steph welcome two fantastic industry pros: Carpenter Alessandra (a.k.a. Ohana Makeover), who shares her biggest site pet peeves, practical apprentice advice on anticipating the next move, and the reality of health and safety standards; and Alli Gay, director of CHI Homes Ltd and regional chair for the Federation of Master Builders, who breaks down site inductions, PPE, CSCS cards, and how clear leadership sets boundaries against bad behaviour.
