“I created Amerex because I could see a gap in the market for quality renovation builders that also got to know and understand their clients. I get to know each and every one of our clients by listening to them, understanding what they need and what is important to them.

I manage every aspect of their construction project from the start to the end to ensure the details they want, and the quality that they demand is delivered. To me it is not just a building project, it is their home, and everything we do should be focussed on this.”

Suzanne has been with the business since 2010 and focusses on Business Systems, Procedures and Policies, HR, IT and Marketing. Prior to joining Amerex, Suzanne worked as a Business Systems Consultant within the IT sector. Over her career she has engaged in a variety of other roles, such as a Technical Writer, Quality Assurance Analyst, Systems Analyst, and even as a Computer Programmer in the early days.

‘I believe that we can always improve, and that by continually striving for improvement on an ongoing basis, ensures that we aim high and maintain a high standard and high quality focus and culture. The end benefit for clients should be that we do not just meet their expectations, but we that we exceed their expectations.’

Pete Started with Amerex as a young and enthusiastic labourer in 2001. Steve was impressed with his work ethic and passion for building, and offered Pete the opportunity to complete a Carpentry apprenticeship. Pete successfully completed his apprenticeship in 2005, and has gone on to establish himself Steve’s right hand man.

His role of a Working Foreman means that he balances the art of supervising key stages of renovation projects, whilst also being hands-on. Pete is passionate about quality workmanship, site efficiency and delivering in a timely manner.

‘The best thing about Amerex is the variety of work we do. Covering the full spectrum of building techniques there is never a dull moment. There is always another challenge around the corner and it’s great to be in the middle of it. With renovations and additions it means sometimes work is not just at a building site but somebody’s home which they still live in. Always doing our best to be respectful of their space and the impact to their existing environment. It’s really nice to create something valuable to the people that we get to know over the course of the build and all-in-all satisfying when the end result brings joy’.
