ADAM
MCDONALD
DIRECTOR / BUILDER
Adam brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the building industry. He began his carpentry apprenticeship at a young age, fortunate to learn from a quality old-school builder—a rarity these days. They undertook the majority of the home construction process, from concreting to stick framing, tiling, and roofing. This comprehensive training provided Adam with a robust foundation and a deep understanding of the entire building process and quality construction methods.
With over 20 years in the industry, Adam has predominantly focused on residential custom-built homes and renovations. However, his expertise also extends to architectural homes and commercial projects, some including, shop fit-outs and concrete tilt panel buildings, further enhancing his skill set.
In 2015, after many years of study, Adam obtained his Builder’s Licence to pursue his passion and establish this business.
Those who have worked with Adam know he is meticulous and sets high expectations for his team, contractors, and suppliers. He is a great leader who prides himself on attention to detail and is dedicated to teaching best building practices to his team members.
Adam's calm and understanding nature allows him to guide clients through the building and renovation journey with clear and open communication, ensuring everyone remains aligned and that the intended finishes and desired outcomes are achieved.
