Often overlooked but such a major player in residential building projects! As a small scale builder, scheduling, organising, and keeping to timeframes is a mammoth task. Not only are we dealing with people, we are also dealing with and manage a myriad of other small businesses and subcontractors to deliver that dream home, and that to the quality standard we set and “on time”, and that means that big And small things can have a knock on effect. No builder is immune to that, it’s how we deal with it.

For our Hawthorn project we were well organised early on and ordered the window package early on, but the recent weather has pushed the earthworks and concreting crews to the limit, resulting in significant delays.

Nonetheless, windows had to be delivered and we had to manage that on-site, say hello to Hawthorns new shiny blue teepee. It will keep the windows safe and dry until their big moment has arrived.

Thanks again for putting in the hard yards to this point




The client, us and are looking forward to a new slab next week

Happy New Year!!!

All of us have had plenty of challenges during 2021 and all of us have shown remarkable resilience in one way or another.

Many have given their absolute everything to keep Australia running and people safe and they are not stopping yet.

Thank you!

Many have suffered loneliness, anxiety, and a decline in mental health.

Look around, listen, lend a hand

2022 we are ready…

Great Saturday effort from the boys!!! Coburg is taking shape it’s been a “restricted”, “wet”, “delayed”, and “muddy” road, but we are pushing on!

We are part of Movember this year.

We are hoping to direct the spotlight towards the life’s lost and the life’s touched by cancer, su***de and deteriorating mental health.

Please reach out to the men around you. Even the tuff, bearded, angry guy next to you needs a hand, a shoulder, or a hug!

Statistics are intriguing, telling, and surely can put a perspective on something…
BUT, it also tends to turn people into numbers, life’s into flow charts, and personal tragedies into percentages. A necessary perspective…

Everyday those people, those life’s, and those tragedies happen around us, engulf us, numb us…many of us have been touched in one way or another. And we “deal” with it in different ways, we reach out, we scream, we fall silent, we hide, we disappear in darkness.

If we can lighten up the space, if we can draw a lifeline for all of us, listen, be aware, see more than is comfortable to us, we might reach a hand so desperately needed, to someone

A light and a hand is going out to everyone…

It is Movember, and we will put our best Mo’s forward to raise awareness and hopefully some funds to support the cause.

Collateral Punishment is not right!!

We have been massively privileged as an industry over the past months, and we are grateful for that!

It has also allowed us and our families to contribute to the economy, and stay largely off any Government payments, reducing the “bill”.

We have the deepest respect for all frontline workers 💪💪💪 Chapeaux!! You’re the best!!!

We all have family members, partners, friends, and associates that have not been as fortunate as us, and have been locked out of work for a long time.

We have done what was asked of us! We have acted responsibly
We have done the jab
We have done the training
We have implemented practices
We have worn masks

We are small residential builders, teams less then 10, often 1-3 employees, and all this does affect us greatly in being able to operate efficiently. But, we are prepared to do it, and have done so! It’s a small burden in order to remain in operation!!

The current lockdown for construction is out of context and proportion, and a “1 fits all” approach. We are not all the same!

Our apologies to all that felt/feel punched in the stomach by the recent events.

Open up projects under $1M to businesses with 10 or less employees that meet the current regulations!!

Blending new into old!
Renovations and extensions are done to best practices standards and energy efficiency standards. Including high performance components and materials.

Building membranes, or WRB (Weather Resistive Barriers) are just one important part. We’ve chosen ProClima MentoPlus and Extasana for our mini Coburg North Extension.

Shout out to for supplying us with the “good stuff”…

Lockdown gave me the chance to get the drawing gear out. 😬

Weather permitting, we will pitch the rest of the roof on our small Coburg extension. It’s a great opportunity to brush up on skills not used too often. But, it’s one of my favourite things to do as a carpenter. ⚒ At the same time we will take the opportunity to introduce Sam the apprentice to the world of roof framing.

Developing a roof frame via drawings, calculations, or software is a great skill and actually spans centuries. Hundred year old traditional drawing methods meet “state of the art” computer software. Love my trade and all it’s facets and traditions.
