Design and drafting has long been Adam’s passion. He developed the ‘knack’ for it in the high school days during technical drawing lessons. He also looked forward to the school woodwork classes. So, when the opportunity for a carpentry apprenticeship came up, he jumped at it!
The days were physically demanding, but the rewards of seeing a finished product, were very satisfying. With homes at different stages of construction, he could be digging holes in the mud on Monday, then crafting high finish joinery by Friday. Regardless of the task, the attitude was consistently about quality and pride.
These qualities, and attention to detail, ensured the transition from carpenter to builder, was a natural one. While in the building trade, he would often sketch details and in some cases complete house designs. At the time, he didn’t think much of it and enjoyed the problem-solving aspect.
Developing an increasing interest in better home design, Adam began studying building design at night and weekends. Although the first to admit, there is always more to learn, he now couples this with his vast building trade knowledge resulting in an invaluable combination which his clients appreciate today.
