Owning my own company had always been a dream of mine. I had worked for numerous housing companies and knew that I had the right ideas, determination, and drive to make the building process easier. I am greatly supported by my family and staff who also share the same values. Friday Homes specialises in residential housing, multi-unit town housing and new subdivisions - there is simply no job too big or too small. I enjoy getting involved in community based activities, travelling with my family and attending sports games with my two young boys.
