Even as young as 7, Dan knew he wanted to be a Builder. As a young boy he would spend time with his Grandpa (a fitter and turner) and together they would turn beautiful species of wood into masterpieces. This is where his love for detail and precision in craftsmanship began. After winning an apprentice of the year award, Dan went on to become one of the youngest registered Builders in Victoria at only 22 years of age. Now 12 years on, his continued love for building has allowed him to grow his own successful building company whose ethos is underpinned by craftsmanship, meticulousness and open communication. Dan’s ability to clearly communicate and nurture a client throughout the entire build journey are characteristics that are time and time again praised by his clients. This attention to detail has gained him a reputation for being an honest and exceptional Builder. The hard working team at Urban Form are truly unique with their ability to carry out builds in an enjoyable, respectful and stress free manner.
Urban Form Construction together with Samuel Architecture are excited to bring you a unique end-to-end ‘Collaborative Design and Construct’ service – and we do it a little differently than most!
Dan and Andrew first worked together in 2016 when each were independently engaged by a client on the same project. As Builders, we were impressed by Andrew’s communication between his client and with us, as well as his attention to detail, vision, creativity, practicality and especially his level of impeccably detailed drawings and specifications. Making our job as Builders easy and clear.
His résumé consists of multi-residential towers for renowned Architect Fender Katsalidis, of which included the iconic ‘Australia 108’ – the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere. Andrew’s role at Fender Katsalidis is an Associate. This sees him running his own projects consisting of teams between 5-15 people, as well as the responsibility to provide continuous training and mentoring to Architects and Interior Designers. Beyond this, Andrew is equally proud of his achievements on a range of both mid-range and high-end architectural new homes and renovations and has been lucky enough to work on close to 100 homes so far.
Their latest project together is Dan’s family home. This has allowed Urban Form the unique opportunity to see from our perspective, how Andrew’s brilliant ‘design mind’ thinks as he pushes ideas in every direction to achieve the best, most well considered space, that services the unique needs of our family now and into our future.
Our collaborative Design and Construct service sees Samuel Architecture, Urban Form and our client on board right from the onset and ALL part of the schematic and entire design process. We do this together because each and every client deserves the best possible level of expertise based on the highest combined industry knowledge that as Builders and Architects we have. This collaborative ‘round table’ approach ensures the vision is clearly understood from day 1, that design solutions are maximised with buildability, building efficiency and importantly up to date costings. This ensures everyone involved has the same unanimous goal to achieve the best finished result for the project whist delivering an enjoyable and stress-free journey.
