25.01.2022 We have noticed recently a number of worksites where the Australian Standards are NOT being followed. Your money is hard earned, dont waste it on cheap work.

24.01.2022 Since the last post 28 2T tippers of soil have been removed. 10m of concrete laid and 220 retaining blocks laid. Now the frames and trusses are going up

24.01.2022 The beginning .....

23.01.2022 After an extremely slow start to the year (understatement) the boys are pulling on the boots and have a few jobs in front of them. If you are considering major work on your home please note that DA approval times are still quite long so allow for that. If you need some ideas or the name of a plan drawer, get in touch with us on 0407832963.

23.01.2022 Prepare, Act, Survive Take the time this weekend to prepare your plan in the event that a bushfire threatens home and family (including your fur babies).

23.01.2022 Roof goes on next week

21.01.2022 A couple of recent decks and screens

21.01.2022 Fast approaching lock up with the boards nearly up and painted, the scaffolding nearly ready to come down

21.01.2022 Our latest job a massive 16 x 3.3m merbau deck! Nail Gun Works Marshalls Timbers Decktec

20.01.2022 start to finish on one of our latest jobs we have completed, Looks amazing

18.01.2022 A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE: A customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project. My friend gave him a proposal: $4...500 The customer responded: That’s seems really high. My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job? The customer answered: $2500 maximum My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself. The customer answered: I don't know how to. My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future. The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it! My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc.. The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job. My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project. The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair. My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday. The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends. My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work. The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time! My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors. The customer answered: What do you mean by that? My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am. The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am! My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site. The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project. CONCLUSION: When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for: Knowledge Experience Custom Skills Tools Time to plan Time to prepare Professionalism Work Ethic Excellence Discipline Commitment Integrity Taxes Licenses Sacrifices Liabilities Insurance Permits If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices. If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals. Just remember.. you get what you pay for. SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it. CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it. Sharing this to support all my friends, family and clients who are Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Tradesman.

18.01.2022 The scaffolding is down, Mick has been very busy painting and now the gyprock is going up inside
