About Us
I started my building obsession from a very early age. I worked with my grandfather and father every weekend and school holidays for as long as I can remember. I have three sisters so anything to get me out of the house.
I was happy to work with my father and his workmates from 12 years of age gaining a strong work ethic with like minded mentors. I have not had a need to advertise as I have built a strong reputation in the industry and pride myself in gaining work through a strong network. This website is a showcase of the work that I have carried out to promote my knowledge and skills to the Canberra and surrounding district residents who are looking for a quality house.
I started my apprenticeship doing maintenance and renovations to extremely old heritage houses. From this experience I learnt how to fix houses up before I learnt to build them. I went on to work for one of the biggest builders in Wagga and completed my apprenticeship. It was a family run business of four employees where we did everything from start to finish.
I moved to Canberra and worked for a boutique builder doing high end houses. I was lucky enough to gain valuable experience from a boss who encouraged me to start my own business and put into practice everything I had learnt.
During my apprenticeship I was awarded my builder's licence but was wary of the responsibility of starting my own company. I continued to gain valuable experience doing contract carpentry for a number of well known builders in Canberra and was eventually offered my first job as a builder. It was an extension in Yarralumla. From there I started picking up more and more work via word of mouth and referrals thus leading to developing a successful building company in the ACT of which I am justly proud.
