Exquisite home builds need an exceptional team

In Wellington , Tim is the guy who keeps projects (and people) on track. Whether it’s mentoring foremen, explaining cost codes in plain English, or reminding the team that breaks are for health and safety (not extra smoko pies), Tim keeps things moving forward. He has a knack for solving problems on site with a mix of innovative solutions, practical know-how and “we’ll make it work” attitude. 
  
When he’s not on the tools or his trusty laptop, you’ll find Tim wrangling animals on his Upper Hutt lifestyle block, skiing in Ohakune, or inventing some new backyard project that may or may not involve scaffolding. He’s also been known to build cedar hot tubs from scratch… just don’t ask him to sit still in one, because he’ll be thinking about the next project before the water’s even warm. 

Known for his practical building expertise, attention to detail, and ability to lead teams effectively, Brad brings both technical skill and reliability to every job, always striving to ensure client satisfaction throughout each stage of the project. 

Outside of work, Brad enjoys surfing and hunting, and is a proud dad of two, balancing his professional commitments with family life and time outdoors. 

Jacob has over a decade of residential carpentry experience. Moving to Scotty’s Construction from Auckland in 2022, he quickly graduated to a Foreman role that has brought out his great leadership qualities, passion and enthusiasm for complex residential builds. One thing he loves about working with Scott and the team is the satisfaction he finds in the fine workmanship of every project.  
 
Jacob splits his time between raising a family, renovating his own home, and getting out for a weekend round of golf.  

Dion started out his working life as a graphic designer and photo lithographer. As the industry became more digital, he realised he preferred being more hands-on than digital. He brought his creative skills into carpentry and hasn’t looked back. He joined the Scotty’s Construction team in 2021 and has since worked across a variety of high-end architectural renovation projects. Along the way, he’s become a great mentor to apprentices and young carpenters, always happy to share his design knowledge and carpentry experience. 
 
At home, Dion looks after a lively menagerie of animals – cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and all kinds of birds – alongside his kids. And when he’s not building, caring for his family and his animals, you’ll usually find him playing music, a passion he’s kept alive through playing in bands for most of his life.
