people like that in Sydney,” Daniel says. “We’re now establishing ourselves in the Newcastle and Hunter and Region, and we believe we’ve found another person there that meets our criteria.” Lux Building is also very selective in their choice of direct carpenters and apprentices. The same goes for their roster of subcontractors and trades. “We set an expectation from the get-go about the level of finish we require, and the way we expect people to carry themselves on site,” Daniel says. “Again, we’re lucky to have found a team that can meet our standards, and that we can trust to do the right thing.” Once they find the right people, Daniel adds, they tend to stick with them. “We’re very loyal,” he says. “Every one of the trades we work with now we’ve worked with for multiple years. We don’t see the need to look elsewhere. The people we work with are leaders in their respective fields. They’re known for their quality.” “Like us, they tend to get a lot of job satisfaction out of delivering these kinds of challenging and high-quality projects,” he continues. “When the project’s done, I think they like taking a step back and seeing the level of craftsmanship we achieved together.” “At the end of the day, we might get the accolades, but that’s only possible because we have a well-oiled machine behind us,” Daniel says. “That’s the result of a lot of highly-skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen delivering their own respective high-end finishes.” OCTOBER 2021
