SUMMARY
This episode of The Master Builders Podcast is called "Open for Business with Mario Biasin from Metricon", co-hosts Max Rafferty and Robert Shaw talk about how builders can keep running their businesses during the current COVID-19 pandemic with Mario Baisin who is the CEO and one of the founders of Metricon, Australia’s leading residential builder.
In this interview Mario Biasin discusses some of the practical things Metricon have been doing during this COVID-19 pandemic - everything from working on site, to working with clients, all the way through to digital marketing to keep sales going.
