Overview - Roksolid Construction Pty Ltd, a Husband and Wife Team of 25yrs
"Quality is built on Relationships - Dan loves building quality and I love people, together that surely makes the perfect foundation for any building company
I like to say Roksolid Homes are where the heart is."
Together Danny & Cheryl Gardiner have been renovating and building homes since 1993. In the UK our construction business was involved with council, actively working with their building inspectors, we rectified complications caused by the defective practices of less scrupulous builders.
Danny had always wanted to be in construction, leaving school at 15 to work for his uncle renovating a block of apartments. Likewise Cheryl’s creativity and thirst for interior design helped realize continuous returns renovating properties throughout the late 80’s and 90’s. Moving to Australia in 2007 our son’s severe Asthma, exasperated by the damp and cold of the UK, as well as his numerous health and developmental issues brought about a renewal to our understanding of building, making it our intention to build better homes.
Coming 16,000km to promote our passion in a superior form of building (Insulated concrete forming) was not as easy as we’d have hoped. Thankfully our understanding of a sounder and improved building system, along with determination to build a better and stronger home, is now evident in our quality, whilst substantiated by data. A recent independent report by Sustainability House SA showed saving of 202% on heating and cooling costs, with the perfect 6 on air quality/infiltration on one of our homes. Danny upholds a current supervisors license and is a Livable Housing Assessor, extremely relevant for the new NDIS/SDA government
With our new developments we want to put in more. Not just in ICF, double glazed windows or higher spec ‘Platinum Grade’ inclusions, but to make designs and floor-plans more inclusive rather than exclusive. To put ourselves in the place of those who may struggle on mobility. We want people to say ‘We’ve never seen anything like this before.’ I’m not talking opulence, over the top. I’m talking about well done architecture and clever designs to home all, not just those who are more able. It doesn’t cost a lot of additional money to do it right. It just costs time and resources. That’s the Key. Most People aren’t willing to put the time into it, we are.” As a husband and wife team its crucial to share the same passion for the business and its mission, but have our own areas that we focus on. We don’t just put in the 38hr week, we live and breath our commitment to building better homes.’
“I’ve known builders my whole life. I can’t honestly say no-body works towards the quality and customer care that we do, their level is at a very different measure.”
”We’ve taught our son to be a part of and involved in our working life, to show working on your passion, on what you enjoy, especially when it helps others, it’s the best kind of work.”
