Builder

Daniel Thomas

In 1996, Daniel began his carpentry apprenticeship with a commercial builder. Due to a downturn at the time, he moved to another builder and spent 13 years working his way up to becoming a site supervisor and estimator. Encouraged by his ex-employer, Daniel pursued additional study and in the mid-2000s completed his Diploma of Building, Medium Rise, which enables him to construct up to 3-storey buildings. Seeking to enhance his skills, he took on various supervisory roles with other builders, in both commercial and residential building, gaining a wealth of knowledge and on-site experience through practical application. In 2018, Daniel ventured out on his own, establishing Abode Building Contractors.
