Going local

Ben & Gemma Templeton “As the owners of Templeton Construction, we strive for maximum productivity and high quality in all our work, ensuring your needs can be quickly adapted to and efficiently dealt with."

Covid has brought a shift to many people’s working lives, but for Ben Templeton it’s been about looking after his own team and keeping things local.

“Our goal and passion is to work alongside the owners and help to create their dream home, whether it be a new home or renovation. Always believing that respect, honesty, responsibility, and good work ethic are the foundations of a smooth sailing building project." “We are excited about the direction Templeton Construction is heading and look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs for your next project.” About Templeton Construction Templeton Construction is a family owned and operated business that has been helping people build their dream homes in the Mackenzie District for over 15 years. We know our environment and we know our people. We understand the need for a smooth-sailing building project, and pride ourselves on transparency, timeliness and top-quality workmanship. We look forward to meeting you and helping you build something special.

For the Templeton Construction founder, cutting down staff and reducing hours wasn’t something Ben wanted to do, so he instead made the decision to keep as much as possible in-house.

“During Covid we thought about what we were paying out to subcontractors and how much it was costing to get people out of town to come up and work for us, so we decided to draw on the skills amongst our staff to see how much we could keep in-house, so that my guys could get more work."

“As one of their long-term clients we find our work is prioritised so we are not having large waits with subcontractors." “Another benefit of keeping local is, if something ever does go wrong, say for example a leaking tap, it’s easy enough for us to get them back and get it sorted.”

Ben, who started off as an apprentice, has built the company up to become one of the most well-known builders in the town and contributes the contributes to the success of the business to being well established in the industry. “Just keeping ahead of the game, delivering quality work and building our brand name in the area.”

“We went and bought ourselves a digger, so now we can do our own earthworks and we can also do our own roofing, fascia gutter, gib fix the whole lot.” As one of the longest running building companies in the Mackenzie region, Templeton Construction already supported the subcontractors in the area. “We’ve used some of the same subbies for over 10 years now, so we have a really good working relationship."
