DESIGN BUILD INTERIORS - Key Persons


Adam Stephenson

Job Titles:
  • Director
Adam is a Kiwi - we didn't say he was perfect! He started his building career specialising in lock-wood timber homes construction, a unique technology in which walls are locked together and not nailed. In New Zealand he learnt the art of precision in building because if you are more than 4mm out anywhere in this type of building, the house simply couldn't be put together. Few builders anywhere have mastered this type of building precision. Adam has painstakingly constructed more than 50 of these houses in his career. Adam then had a unique opportunity in the USA mastering steel frame construction (form work and fabrication) for massive commercial storage blocks and factories - so performing the same for residential homes is a piece of cake. In the US he learnt the true importance of delivering on time, because the client would lose serious revenue if it wasnt. And because there is no material that Adam hasnt worked with, Design Build Interiors clients benefit from a variety of possible solutions to suit any budget. In London, Adam specialised in typical residential building requirements: knock-downs, conversions, extensions, everything you can possibly do to add value to your home. He faced some big challenges, like working in the snow, constant rain and freezing cold. Whats more, there were 300-year-old homes that were never level or structurally sound, so virtually every job needed underpinning, new floors or roofs re-pitched. In the UK Adam learnt to solve problems for clients fast, because he was constantly challenged by the worst conditions and new surprises. The result - Adam knows how to prepare for the unexpected, and his clients dont pay the price later in annoying variation costs. On arriving in Australia, Design Build Interiors was born. Adam, originally a qualified tradesman, has vast experience, practical knowledge and an ability to successfully manage projects both on-site and behind the scenes. Adam always aims for perfection and possesses an ability to foresee and manage potential issues and problems. He loves what he does. Adam enjoys handing over a completed quality job to our clients, improving the way they live their lives. When Adam isn't working he likes to spend time with his family, visit the beach, fish and watch rugby.
