HOW IT BEGAN
At the age of 14 and whilst attending school, MAKOTO worked weekends as a labourer on building sites around Adelaide. On completing Year 12 MAKOTO started his carpentry apprenticeship, after which he headed to British Colombia in Canada where, as he describes, he worked with “the best carpenters in the world”. His experience there saw him work for a custom log home builder, felling and milling Douglas Fur and Cedar trees and then working with the Canadian carpenters to construct luxurious homes and ski chalets in Whistler. The experience was one that most Australian carpenters would never have and it moulded MAKOTO into the craftsman he is today. Procuring and building with those materials in Canada had a big effect on MAKOTO’ building standards and the selection of materials he uses to this day. He refuses to work with cheap materials just to maximise his profit margins.
RETURN TO AUSTRALIA

When MAKOTO returned to Australia he felt that the time was right to go beyond being a carpenter and he took the next step in becoming a builder. After starting his own carpentry business, he undertook the study required to become a licenced builder. He enjoys working with his clients on a variety of builds including those with extra challenges that require perseverance and lateral thinking to get the job done.
