THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA purpose. From digital communication tools that keep clients informed to systems that streamline contracts and payroll, Lee ensures the administrative side of the company runs smoothly. This level of organization complements Tom’s site management, allowing projects to progress efficiently and transparently. Clients often remark on how responsive and organized the company is—an attribute that sets them apart from many builders overwhelmed by paperwork. Sustainability is also part of 345 Construction’s approach, albeit in a way that balances client needs with practicality. Working with architects often brings innovative, eco-conscious designs to the table, and Tom and his team ensure those designs are executed to the highest standard. Whether through energy-efficient construction methods, the use of sustainable materials, or simply keeping job sites well managed and waste minimized, the company remains mindful of its environmental impact. Looking forward, Tom and Lee are clear about their goals. Growth will come, but not at the expense of quality or personal involvement. As projects become larger and more complex, they are planning to add experienced site managers to help maintain standards. “We’ll be looking in the next few years to employ one or two senior site managers,” Lee says. “Tom isn’t on the tools as much now, as he’s doing a lot of the quoting, so we need strong people to oversee the projects.” The company’s long-term aim is to focus on highend renovations in the $3-to-$4 million range, working on architecturally designed homes where detail and craftsmanship are paramount.
