Recent work on the island: a verandah over an existing deck in Cape Woolamai. “Unexpected changes to the plans and supply delays arose, and Chris liaised with the designer and structural engineer to develop effective, straightforward solutions.” (Shirley Barclay & family)

Building on Phillip Island Is Different. Projects here often involve complex designs, remote clients and exposure to coastal conditions.
