The Cobild Story
Being a family-run business, hard-working attitudes have been installed into the business and the team since day one. Starting out in landscaping and fencing then moving on to small scale construction work, the business grew quickly and now completes quality, high-end homes and construction projects. From humble beginnings to a significantly scaled business, there is a continual drive and energy to succeed and look after each other.
Current Projects in the Pipeline
There are currently four key sectors for their scopes of work. Mansion style houses in affluent suburbs, high-end multi-residential and boutique apartments, mixed use retail and office apartments, and commercial office spaces. Partnering with clients is the journey, not the projects taken on.
Voted one of the Best Places to Work
Put simply, it’s the people. They are driven, motivated, and high performing. Wins are shared, challenges are worked on together and there is care, trust, and respect for one another. The values are based around relationships - “we say what we mean and we do what we say. Everything we do is a little bit different and that breeds success with our people.”
Not your Typical Builder
Everything is easy, nothing is too hard and solutions are found. Having a great rapport with everyone is not the typical way in the industry. Normal builders go one way, Cobild goes another - down to operations, how people are treated and the interaction with clients from start to finish.
Philosophies around customer retention and engagement
There is a specific demographic of clients who are young at heart, care, are energetic, and want to be taken along for the ride. There is ongoing touch with customers and communication that forms a big part of the customer dynamic. These values contribute to the 95%+ customer retention and referrals, this is something the business thrives on.
The Construction Manager - Key Aspects
To help with the direction of the business and the vision for success, someone will be brought in to help at an operational level, continue to drive client relations, support the team, accelerate current programs, and deliver on quality. This person will be part of high performing team, take pride in their work and be an exceptional team player. There is an opportunity for this person to embed themselves in a great culture.
Style of Person that will Fit Well in this Role and Business
Someone who has a lot of empathy, understands clients’ and teams’ needs who can give them support to excel, and can really define what success means to them and the business. They are driven, passionate, in it for the long haul, and what to have a positive impact on the already high performing culture that is Cobild. T
