At ATKINS CARPENTRY, we offer our clients a professional service that has spanned for over thirty years of service. Chris, first started out his apprenticeship at the tender age of 16 in Scotland when a trade was taught with precision and structural integrity. From here he moved to England to further his dreams of design and build and work with ‘the best of the best’ - He was employed by TARMAC Construction as a leading hand who was responsible for multiple teams and projects such as the motor way link between Oxford and Birmingham which saw the construction of large over passes, bridges and interchanges. This was civil engineering on a LARGE SCALE. He was then employed as a contract manager at Johnson Bothers Contractors LTD. Here is where Chris developed his skills in liasoning with local councils and with major civil engineering companies.

As a young man he then decided to travel and yearned to see Australia it was always a dream of his to see our amazing country. He feel in LOVE with our outdoor lifestyle and just new at some stage he would always ‘come home’ to our country and soon to be his, Australia.

Upon his return to England, he was fortunate enough to once again work with incredible teams that were innovative and ahead of their time. Teams such as; Garden Architecture who were commissioned by top designers to create outdoor living spaces, which included the annual Chelsea Flower Show.

He continued to develop and refine his skills with award winning, Andy Sturgeon whilst working with him on various projects, he mastered skills such as design, masonry and carpentry work which blended the art form of outdoor living and its sensibility for the environment. Following on from this amazing opportunity, Chris was drawn to work with Jo Swift, who had a popular British Television show on the BBC called The Plant Room. Chris’s work and expertise of construction and working with timber and other raw materials came into play again further exciting him to start his own business.

Which leads us to where ATKINS Constructions is now: upon his return to Australia he worked at Parkwood Modular Building Systems as leading hand, building modular homes with a small environmental footprint, which was showcased on Better Homes and Gardens. He was inspired by the design and ease of the way a home could fit any space, this is where Chris just new he must take a step out into the unknown and start his very own company.
