General Information
Domestic building experience since 1978
Contracts administration experience between 1982 and 1988 with major commercial buiding companies, e.g.Leighton, Baulderstone Hornibrook and Fyna
Just like Rolex gold and stainless steel watches, since 1988 we have a differentiation strategy in place wherein we seek to distinguish ourselves from our peers through the quality of our products and reliability of our services
Many a client has commended my "keen eye for detail" regarding my carpentry work
At Strathfield a regular attentive passerby (indeed an older carpenter) commented the Federation style fence was a "work of art"
The 8 dimensions of quality are an important ingredient to success and are encapsulated by our quality products. The 8 dimensions of quality are- Conformance, Aesthetics, Features, Durability, Performance, Reliability, Servicability, and Perceived Quality
Perfection is achievable! In 1995 a customer commissioned me to work on his new Federation style house in Weils Ave Croydon Park. Working on an hourly $ rate basis I setout on the concrete slab for the brickwork, fitted windows and door frames and builtins, hung doors, fitted locks, installed architraves and skirtings, installed barge boards and external posts, installed ceiling lining boards
