Pichelmann Custom Building began in 2005 as a residential building business in the Canberra region. For over 10 years, they successfully delivered a long list of high quality high-end homes, many of them award-winning, all of them for satisfied clients. In 2015, the company took a big step forward when founders Parry and Meike Pichelmann started talking with Tom Argaet and Eugene Haigh, who soon after came on board as business partners. In the years since, the four partners have taken the business to another level and together they have realized some of the company’s proudest projects. “Tom and I came up through the business as apprentices and sub contract carpenters so we knew the business well,” says Eugene. “It was natural progression for everyone in 2017, and gave us the ability to grow and expand into a lot of different projects. It’s been a win for everybody.” In 2019, the company started the maintenance and minor works part of the business. That came from having 15 years of clients that were still on very good terms with them, says Eugene. “They were coming back to us for smaller jobs like bathroom renos. We always did them but they were a draw on our attention.” Managing a high-end custom home build and managing a bathroom renovation are two very different beasts, and trying to do both in parallel was “quite a challenge,” says Eugene. To alleviate that challenge, they brought Steve Swift on board as a director gave him control of the maintenance and minor works division. Since then, that business has flourished, growing consistently even throughout the pandemic. THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA
