Duayne Pearce
Builder, Mentor
I’m Duayne Pearce — builder, mentor, and host of the Level Up podcast.
After 20+ years in the Australian construction industry, I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what breaks people. I share real conversations and lessons I’ve learned on the tools, in business, and through mentoring other builders.

#34 | The Future of Construction: Systems, Science, and Professionalism with Duayne Pearce
In this episode, I chat with Duayne Pearce, a builder, industry mentor, and co-founder of Live Life Build. Duayne shares his journey from industry struggles to embracing new systems, and his vision for a more professional and sustainable building industry. We talk about industry transformation, proactive leadership, continuous education, and collaboration. His initiatives like the Level Up expo in 2025, his mentorship program and systematised workflows aim to elevate standards, attract quality clients, and promote sustainable, healthy homes. Building a better industry is a collective effort. By embracing systems, education, and a passion for quality, builders can significantly improve client outcomes, personal well-being, and industry professionalism.
