So Charlie, what do you love about building?

I love watching ideas come to life. There’s something special about taking a client’s vision and turning it into a space they can live in and enjoy every single day. For me, it’s not just about building walls and roofs—it’s about creating a place where families will share memories for years to come.

Working alongside my dad makes it even more rewarding. Building together as a father-and-son team is something I’m really proud of.

Why should clients choose Yarra Edge Developments?

Because we genuinely care about every project we take on. We listen closely, communicate clearly, and always treat each home as if it were our own.

With over 50 years of combined family experience, we bring craftsmanship, honesty, and attention to detail to every job. Clients aren’t just hiring builders—they’re choosing a team that makes the process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to hand over a home that clients can feel proud of.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to prospective clients?

Plan well and share your ideas openly. The clearer your vision, the easier it is for us to bring it to life. And never hold back on asking questions—your input is just as important as the work we do.

What’s the best part of your job that makes you smile?

Without a doubt, it’s the moment a client sees their finished home for the first time. The look on their face—the pride, the excitement, the joy—makes all the effort worthwhile.

How do you like to unwind after a busy day on-site?

For me, nothing beats a good meal, some downtime with family, and a cold beer. Simple things go a long way.

What’s one thing you wish every homeowner knew before starting a project?

That flexibility goes a long way. Even with the best planning, unexpected things can pop up. But with open communication and a little patience, we’ll always find a way forward and deliver a result you’ll love.

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

Calm. Reliable. Hardworking.

Favourite tool and why?

The tape measure. It might be simple, but accuracy is everything in building. It’s the key to making sure every cut, join, and finish comes together perfectly.

And finally, if a client offers you a drink, what are you having?

A white coffee, no sugar—it keeps me going for the next project.
