Summary

I am a 27 year old qualified builder with 6 years of experience in the building industry. I have primarily worked on high end residential houses, which has allowed me to learn from skilled and experienced foreman's how to complete jobs properly and efficiently. I have experience in foundations, framing and standing walls, roof framing and erecting trusses, cladding, interior lining, window and door installation, decks, concrete slabs, and finishing work. I can read and follow plans to ensure building standards are met, and have some experience in supervising smaller jobs. I enjoy working alongside a great team, but am confident when working independently as well. I am used to hard work and long hours, and am looking forward to facing new challenges.
