THE PLANTING OF SEEDS

After working with Geoff in his own building company, Meyer Constructions, for more than 30 years, and Geoff decided to work for a bigger commercial builder rather than for himself. This was when the seeds were planted to be a part of something different. I saw more and more how construction workers were/are often treated. Mostly like rubbish, as merely a number to just make them money at all costs. Sometimes their accomplishments and expertise were acknowledged, but mostly they were disregarded and overlooked. So you could imagine my reaction when, with my belief in people’s intrinsic value in tow, I saw my father-in-law, the master builder with 40 years of experience, get demoted from supervisor to a mere handyman with a pay-cut to boot. Things had to be better than this.

A NEW VISION

I founded MK&S Constructions to be first and foremost a tool that honours and values people in all stages and aspects of the construction industry, not merely the prospective clients so as to win their work, but everyone. I believe the high school apprentices, labourers on the ‘business-end’ of a broom, the subcontractors, the clients, the certifiers, the governments officials and anyone in between, are all valuable and should be honoured as such. I run MK&S with this belief as it’s foundation and cornerstone; make sure everyone we come into contact with is honoured and valued. Hence why I made Geoff the Co-Director and Construction Manager, because he’s bloody good at what he does, and because I genuinely Iove the guy.

MY FAMILY

My wife, Rebecca and I live in North Western Sydney, and have five beautiful children, Summah, Noah, Savannah, William, and Elias (yes, it’s a big family but there’s an even bigger story behind it that I can’t wait to share with you when we meet!)
