SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS, NSW
Call Lucas to discuss your needs 0410 312 433
Our contracting division was born in March 2020 out of three needs:
- To provide employment for our staff who’ve suddenly found themselves without work following the sudden collapse of adventure tourism and the event industry.
- To provide well made, long-life structures for those wanting to become more self-sufficient in 2020 following the summer bushfires and the arrival of coronavirus.
- To generate business for our local suppliers of hardware, timber, plumbing, pipes and pumps.
THE BASICS
Small jobs – tell us what needs to be done, send pics if you can and we’ll give you an estimate of how many staff are needed and approximate cost. If that’s okay we’ll send a team and if it’s looking like it might take longer we’ll discuss and you can decide whether to stick to the original estimate or pay extra to finish the job.
Bigger jobs – one of our supervisors will come and have a look and give you a quote.
