Our people, from the front office right through to the onsite trades have worked with us for many years. This loyalty delivers a continuity of people which is immensely important in ensuring a smooth workflow exists during the build.

Because we offer such a good work environment for all our people, we are often approached by tradespeople wanting to work with us. We have a program that employs apprentices and provides for an ongoing educational progression through the firm, which aims to nurture well-trained and conscientious tradespeople and professionals.

Building Supervisor

A Building Supervisor will be onsite to ensure all work is carried out to the highest possible standard. They are qualified to fully manage the project and will organise and control all onsite trades and material deliveries so there is minimal interruption to your normal day. They will meet with you regularly to discuss aspects of the project and are also qualified in OH&S and Environmental procedures associated with the build.

Structural Engineer

All upper storey and ground floor extensions with large open spaces require a Structural Engineer to design beams and supports that will be used during construction to guarantee the structural integrity of each extension.

When designing these beams and supports the engineer will take into consideration the existing soil conditions of the land, looking to remove any potential problem areas that may exist.
