“One of the big problems we aim to solve for our customers is the permit stage of their build – the less they have to deal with council the better, as this stage can be challenging at times!”

With over a decade of experience in account management and operations within the construction industry, Andrew has a firm grasp on what needs to be done to deliver a quality shed outcome.
