Katina Core
Katina manages client services and general administration, and will walk you through the contract development, colour and design selections. With Katina, there are no ‘silly’ questions! She patiently works through all the details with her clients. Katina really values her family and spends a lot of time with her grandaughter, who is only 2 but is certainly the boss around the house!
Bruce Core
As the Builder and Managing Director, Bruce looks after financial management and site control of the projects. His enthusiasm for building is hard to resist – not only does he run the business with his wife, Katina, but he’s also recruited his children. Bruce loves to travel, especially on his motorbike! With a positive up-for-it attitude, you’ll always find him in the centre of the action. He's more up-to-date with Canberra's forecast than the weatherman!
