David, at your service.

At the heart of everything I do here at Hands On Carpentry is a commitment to great quality work, fine details and exceptional service that goes above and beyond for my clients.

A fully licensed, qualified and insured carpenter.

For over 40 years I've been honing my craft and ability to manage a job from start to finish. I've worked on architecturally designed custom homes, renovations, additions and even performed works on Parliament House in ACT.

I've supervised sites for commercial construction projects including QLD schools, restaurants and medical facilities. I've served as the builder for residential extensions and renovations.

True to the vision

When I’m not on the tools, I’m likely to be in the garden, at the beach, or sometimes camping. Life is so short so I try and spend as much time as I can with my beautiful wife, our daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren. Good coffee with friends & family. Church on Sundays but God on my heart every day.

Attentive and knowledgeable

I'm focussed on delivering a smooth and stress-free experience when working with me. I'm punctual and I stay on top of all phases of a project from guidance and planning to ordering and execution.

Clear and open communication

I prioritise effective communication with my clients to keep them up to date with how a project is going and to build strong and warm client relationships.
