At German Built Construction we aim for quality, a fair deal and client satisfaction.

About Harry at German Built Construction

I have always had a passion for woodworking since I was a young kid, however in Germany I was accepted for an apprenticeship to be an Industrial Mechanic. From this line of work I gained knowledge in working with machinery with a key eye for detail. I came to Australia in 2007 as a backpacker and fell in love with the country and later an Aussie woman.

So Australia is now my home and I couldn’t be happier! In 2011 an opportunity arose to work for a Builder in Surrey Hills Melbourne. Since then I have been able to work for various builders, completing my Apprenticeship in Carpentry, Certificate IV in Building and Construction and in 2018 I attained my Builders License which has allowed me to start up my own business… German Built Construction which services wonderful Adelaide and the surrounding areas.

Why the name “German Built Construction”? I love Australia, its culture and work ethic, yet I cannot deny that I have been shaped by my childhood and young adult life in Germany. I love all things quality and have a perfectionist eye. I am not satisfied until the job meets my high standard and this is true to most things German made. My aim for German Built Constructions is to do a job well done for you my customer, so that we both part ways with a smile, happy to do business together in the future.

If you need some work done on your home then give me a call, I will be happy to have a chat and see how German Built Constructions can work for you.

The cost process is calculated on a case by case basis in communication with the client. Some questions to keep in mind are; How clear is the project? Are there changes of mind throughout the job? What does the client want? An example for a standard job with a clear timeframe and material costs would normally warrants a fixed quote is calculated.
