WHO WE ARE

Sam Barnett has been in the building industry for 25 years starting out as a carpenter in New Zealand before earning his low-rise building licence in Queensland in 2011, and finally acquiring his mid-rise licence in 2015. He was literally born into a world of building; his father, uncles, grandfather and three brothers are all in the game. It’s not unusual for family get-togethers to revolve around sharing current and upcoming projects with plans on the table, everyone zealously sharing their thoughts and ideas. 

Under his licence, but a different company, he has built over 1200 homes, ranging in size and scope from granny flats & auxiliary dwellings, to traditional 4 bedroom/2 bathroom homes and impressive waterfront homes up to 1200m2. He has a deep understanding of all facets of building and relevant building codes and legislation.   

Building is not just a job for Sam, it’s a creative passion that is all-encompassing from conceptualisation of a project to being ‘hands-on’ in the creation and delivery phases. When you meet him you instantly know that he is a ‘people person’, so making his client's dreams come true is extremely rewarding for him. Finishing a job and handing over the key to a client with a handshake and/or hug from the owner is how he does business. 

Krystle Barnett has been Sam's right-hand-woman since the business first started in 2010, helping with business management, and later working alongside clients in the sale process to ensure the dream is delivered as expected. Her primary focus personally and in her career is relationship building eventually establishing these into strong, authentic networks. She is also a qualified real estate agent who has put her learned skills to good use over the last few years.

Krystle is passionate about real estate, renovations, and creating homes with inviting, ambient living spaces perfect for entertaining - she understands the aesthetic and functional needs for a kitchen and open living area to make the perfect entertainment space for your friends and family. Sam and Krystle have built two homes together, each time gaining more knowledge and precision on the process and outcome. 

You can relax knowing that you have a solid team there to guide you through the process and will be there to answer all your questions – and know that there is never a ‘stupid’ question when building a house.  

Glen, our dedicated site manager, brings over 30 years of experience in the construction industry, having truly seen it all. Starting out on the tools, he went on to successfully run his own business for many years before spending the last 15 years managing construction sites.

Glen thrives on coordinating job workflows and, when needed, being hands-on—working directly with clients and managing the trades he’s built strong relationships with over the years.

In the construction of a home, ensuring a defect-free result requires a skilled professional who can tie it all together for a smooth handover. Glen has earned a reputation as one of the best “finishers” in the industry among his colleagues.

With a strong work ethic, a friendly demeanour, constant jokes, and a love for a good cup of coffee (six times a day), Glen works tirelessly to ensure the job is done right, and that every client feels valued and heard. He is the one who truly brings your build to life.
