Summary

I am an experienced, qualified builder with over 12 years in the construction trade. I have extensive experience in the residential sector with new builds, renovations, and also some architectural work. I have also worked in commercial construction, which mainly consisted of seismic strengthening.

I have been working as a contract builder for the last seven years, predominantly for one company, which has allowed me to lead jobs and oversee other builders and apprentices.

I have a keen eye for detail and take pride in my work, with a strong emphasis on producing quality workmanship.

Being punctual and budget-conscious is a priority, alongside being honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Three qualities I pride myself on, along with my work.

With my experience working as a personal trainer, which is client-focused, those interpersonal skills have helped to build my leadership qualities as a builder.
