Six years, and a whole lot of love, Pat ❤️
One of our Estimators and a much-loved member of the G.J. family, Pat has just clocked up six years with us. It`s a milestone we were very much looking forward to celebrating.
This year, though, the celebration`s a little different. Pat was involved in a serious car accident last Friday, and we wanted to mark this moment with something more than just a congratulations.
In Pat`s own words, he once described himself as "Meticulous. Trustworthy. Funny." We reckon that`s a pretty accurate description, but anyone who knows Pat also knows exactly what he brings to this team. On top of the years of knowledge and experience, an incredible eye for detail, and plenty of laughs, he`s just an all-round great human, brimming with positivity (literally the first person to cheer another team member on!).
Pat has a road to recovery ahead of him, but in his family`s words - his Positive Pants are back on.
So from everyone across the G.J. Gardner family, we`re sending Pat, Geraldine and their family a whole lot of love. Happy six years, Pat. We`re all behind you, and can`t wait to have you - and your positive pants - back ❤️

Where Sales Meets Construction
One of the things that sets our team apart is the way our different departments work together, not just in the office, but out on site.
Recently, our New Homes Consultants visited one of our Vincentia projects, a flexibly-designed double storey home with studio, to connect with our Construction Supervisors and see firsthand how the builds they discuss with clients come to life on the ground.
It`s an important part of how we operate. When our New Homes Consultants understand the construction process deeply, they can have better, more informed conversations with clients from the very first meeting.
Because the more our team knows, the better we can guide you ❤️
Four offices, one united team. Feel the joy building.
