NAVIGATING A CHANGING INDUSTRY Despite its success, Chateau remains acutely aware of the challenges facing the broader construction sector -from rising material costs and labour shortages to economic uncertainty. “This is the toughest market I’ve seen in 30 years,” Alex admits. “Prices are always increasing, and that outpaces income growth. Every build becomes a fine balancing act.” Still, after 50 years, Chateau is meeting the moment with agility and innovation - leveraging digital design tools, smarter planning, and strong supplier relationships to maintain build quality and client confidence. A FUTURE GROUNDED IN VALUES Even with growing recognition and increased demand, Chateau has no plans to scale up or dilute its values. 53 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 05 CHATEAU ARCHITECTS + BUILDERS
