Episode Overview Seton Walsh-Rose sits down with Scott Clements — Managing Director of Inertia Engineering, a 70-person civil, structural and flood engineering firm based in Brisbane with over 20 years of operation. Scott is at the forefront of applying AI to land subdivision and earthworks design, having partnered with software company Civics to develop a tool that is fundamentally changing the speed and economics of development feasibility in Southeast Queensland. The conversation covers Scott's unlikely path from civil engineer to sales and marketing to business founder, Inertia's culture-first approach to growth, the real-world impact of their AI earthworks software, the skills graduates will need in a world of automation, Queensland's construction opportunity and labour crisis, and the untapped potential of modular construction in Australia.
