ABOUT
Background
Coming from a family of builders, I have had a passion for building for as long as I have been able to hold a hammer. I am a Victorian Registered Domestic Builder (unlimited) who has over 25 years of experience working in the building industry.
I grew up helping my father on buildings sites and working at a Joinery while at high school. I then proceeded to complete my Carpentry Apprenticeship and subsequently worked as a Carpenter, Leading Hand Carpenter, Maintenance Supervisor, Site Supervisor and ultimately Building Supervisor with oversight and responsibility of numerous residential and commercial builds at a given time.
This has developed my extensive skills, knowledge and expertise in all aspects of carpentry and building, including footings and slabs, framework, masonry, fix-outs, extensions and renovations.
"I gain immense fulfilment and satisfaction from seeing the journey and progression of the build and then the final outcome."

Our Focus
At Riverglen Homes we focus on quality by design.
Why?
Quality homes have no fear of time.
Quality will always retain its value.
Quality is the best kind of advertising. When you're out of quality you're out of business.
A build must have quantity of quality.
Quality stems from the site preparations; the footings and slabs; masonry; framing; roof and wall cladding; glazing; and sustainable energy and materials.
Eventually everything connects and therefore the quality of the connections and each component is the key to overall quality.
“We appreciate that your house is predominately your single largest investment. However, a house is not just a house – it’s a home and it’s where you do your ‘living’. A home houses our lives.”
Bill Petrie, Company Director, Riverglen Homes, VBA Registered.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
