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.

Where is the data to decarbonise the built environment? (EP 153)
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 Anil Sawhney, Director of the Infrastructure Sector at the RICS.
Anil leads the emerging RICS initiative and strategy on placing and positioning the Institution within the field of excellent commercial management of projects globally with a primary focus on the (economic) Infrastructure sector, defined by the RICS as transport, utilities, energy and similar fields.
In today’s show, we discuss the data behind decarbonising construction, focusing on shifting our mentalities to a whole-of-life worldview - something Anil feels we don’t currently have.
If you want to understand better how the RICS and Anil, an industry-leading voice, plan to change the construction world, this episode is for you. I have placed linked below to some of the information referred to by Anil in the show:
- Whole life carbon assessment (WLCA) for the built environment (rics.org)
- ICMS: International Cost Management Standards (rics.org)
- RICS cost prediction professional statement, global 1st edition
