“We have very strong relationships with all our suppliers, who are 100 per cent locally owned, and live and work in the region,” says Jeff. “We have an excellent understanding of how things run. Once we form a relationship with these people they stay our go-to. No shifting and changing of contractors and suppliers.” Jeff notes they have the same electrical contractor working alongside them today who started with Lifestyle Constructions NQ in 2007. “Now his son’s taking over the business, and we will continue to work with this second generation. This is the kind of relationship we have with most of our contractors.” This loyalty and trust in their staff and contractors has earned the company multiple awards over the years. In fact, they have consistently won awards in various categories from the HIA and Master Builders every year since the company’s inception. Their latest accolade is a 2024 Master Builders North Queensland Award for ‘Home Renovation Project from $300,000 up to $450,000.’ That project was Jeff’s fourth renovation for the same clients and he says they are now talking about doing another one – which speaks to the strength of the relationship thy have formed. For that award-winning project, he says the client “decided the place needed a facelift,” as it had originally been built 20 years ago. “We sat down with them and went over the design features and tried to stick to the existing footprint as much as possible.” JANUARY 2025
