Davies Design & Construction, Sheffield, TAS

I began this company as a regular builder with entrepreneurial dreams. But 90% of building companies fail in the first 5 years because there’s just no clear path for builders. When we started winning awards in 2012, it was great from the outside but really, the company was nearly underwater.

That’s when I said, that’s it. There must be a better way to live life and run a business than following the norms and struggling.

So, I hired a coach and explored my personal ambitions and eventually where I wanted to steer the business in the future. I soon discovered that our living spaces contribute to at least a third of our wellbeing and that I could make a real difference. I learned how to lead people and I learned how to create a seamless fulfilment experience with fixed budgets and timelines.

But most of all, I learnt that the most important element of a home is how it makes you feel.

At Davies, we know that when we design your space, we’re designing for your unique lifestyle.
