Meet the team

It all began with an idea, a better work life balance and a passion for all things building and renovation. From this, Hardy Construction Group was created and we haven’t looked back since! We can’t wait to show you what we get up to.

The Builder and Builders Wife X


  • Director & Registered Builder

    The builder has been in the trade for over twelve years, first starting off as a joiner completing kitchens, bathrooms and studies you name it! After being a joiner for many years he decided to strive for more and took up a carpentry apprenticeship with the long term goal of becoming a registered builder. In 2020 during the middle of the pandemic the builder signed up to complete his building certificate, after a long challenging eight months he successfully gained his certificate and is now a registered builder (this is different to a carpenter!). Welcoming his first born son, George in 2022 gave the builder the courage to start his own business to achieve a better work/family life balance.

  • Gemma is a Physiotherapist by trade and has been for five years. Recently she took the step away from physio to grow and raise the next generation of Hardy Construction Group (George & James). While raising her sons, Gemma keeps the business running from behind the scenes- emails, accounts, bookkeeping and socials. Gemma has an eye for design and practicality when it comes to designing renovations to suit your family/budget.

Our reason why

We are not in this business to become the next “block stars” or the next big commercialised building company- we will leave that up to everyone else. We simply love renovating and creating character to your family homes. We pride ourselves on being small, and have no intentions of becoming a big building company. The main reason the builder decided to take the step out on his own was for a better work/family life balance- he wanted to be a present father and husband who attends his children’s swimming lessons, birthday parties etc. Being a larger company with numerous employees defeats the builders reason for being a business owner!

By choosing a smaller family run business you can expect to have our sole focus when completing your renovation/build as we only take a few projects on at a time. We do not provide your new builds with packages of inclusions/exclusions- this is where you can get caught with exclusions and out of pocket $$$. We may be small and your renovation/build may take a little longer however, we get it right the first time and do not cut corners.
