Summary

Hi,

My name is Darcy I am a 25 year old carpenter who has been in the building industry since I was 17 and strictly doing carpentry since 2020. I completed a Certificate 3 in Cabinet Making in 2018 cementing an attention to detail and a keen eye for finer work. I then went on to join a construction company in the Blue Mountains in Sydney in 2020 and started doing Carpentry work gaining RPL for the certificate 3 in Carpentry in 2022. I continued working 5 days a week for the builder whilst also building my own client base on the weekends and spare time. Doing this has allowed me to learn excellent communication skills with clients, reps and suppliers. In turn I have gained knowledge on how to organize materials and complete any task in an efficient way while maintaining standards and regulations. This has also led me to have drive and a pride for the work I do.

Renovation and extension work is where I have put most of my energy. Tasks such as dealing with pitching into existing roofs, planing flooring systems into existing heights and making new construction merge with old construction are challenges I enjoy and have the technical skills necessary to complete to a high standard.
