Lawrence was the first to join the GJ’s family, having spent over eight years as part of the Hamilton team he is passionate about designing great homes for clients. With a passion for photography his attention to detail and eye for design is what inspired him to join the construction industry.
Carla followed suit and joined the team a few years ago, after being part of the GJ’s family through attending many handovers and site visits with Lawrence. With a background in hospitality Carla prides herself on providing clients with care and attention, ensuring each home ticks off the most important items on their wish list.
Having built their own home with GJ’s, Carla and Lawrence have first hand experience, which gives them a great understanding to guide you through the journey of creating your own home with the same care and confidence they expected themselves.
“We take huge pride in what we do and are passionate about building homes that meet the unique needs of each client” – Lawrence
