Glenn Baker Builder

Glenn Baker Builder, a locally owned and operated business on the Central Coast NSW, has been a stalwart in the construction industry since obtaining a builder's license (No 143383) in 1991. With a focus on building top-quality homes and additions, Glenn Baker Builder is a testament to the enduring quality and craftsmanship that define the Australian construction industry.

The journey of Glenn Baker Builder began in 1978 when Glenn started as an apprentice carpenter under his father's tutelage. His experience spans across various construction companies around the globe, working on diverse projects from cottages to civil works, and residential subdivisions. His expertise extends to road and culvert construction work on the Sydney – Newcastle freeway, formwork to suspended concrete works, and the laying of sewer, stormwater, and town water mains.

In 1984, Glenn moved to the USA and worked as a carpenter in New Orleans, where he renovated a nightclub on Bourbon Street. His journey then took him to England, where he worked on renovating townhouses in London. This global exposure has enriched his skill set and broadened his perspective on construction, making him a versatile and well-rounded builder.

By 1995, Glenn was building speculative architect designer homes, many of which were sold before construction was completed. His brother, Chris Baker, an architect and owner of Thrum Architects in Sydney, has designed some of the projects that Glenn has built. Glenn has done numerous works for his firm, and Chris is available exclusively to Glenn Baker Builder to design that special home or addition on request.

The year 2000 marked a significant shift in Glenn's career. With the introduction of the GST and a surge in clients wanting Glenn to build their additions and alterations, Glenn ceased building spec homes to take on the challenge of contract addition work. Additions are always different and sometimes very challenging. The prime objective is to build the finished product to the highest standard, offering fine craftsmanship and to achieve the result that the addition looks as though it belongs.

Glenn Baker Builder is not just about building homes; it's about building relationships. Much of Glenn's work comes from word of mouth, recommendations, and returning clients. This is a testament to the value for money, honesty, and excellent job delivered on time that clients associate with Glenn Baker Builder. Glenn's wife, Adrienne, is also available to offer interior design and colour selections if required.

Glenn is committed to sustainable building practices. He is always attending courses such as HIA Green smart learning the best ways of heating, cooling, and recycling, using heat banks to naturally use the sun to warm the home in winter and protect in summer, thus reducing heating and cooling costs.

In conclusion, Glenn Baker Builder is a seasoned builder with a rich history and a commitment to quality, sustainability, and client satisfaction. With a portfolio of diverse projects and a reputation for delivering excellent results, Glenn Baker Builder is a trusted name in the Central Coast NSW construction industry.
