Family.” What differentiates the Cotter Builders team is a healthy work life balance, good working culture and a family-oriented approach. We are a one stop shop for design and construct. We aren’t afraid of a challenge; we don’t mind spending the extra time to investigate alternate solutions and all of our projects are unique & individualised to our clients wants and needs. Madison explained. “We always love getting the kids involved in the journey of the project,” Our two sons Hayes & Spencer (5,3) are part of our team, and we love to involve the children of families that build, as it is just as important for them to enjoy the journey.” Madison enthused. “We love our team; we are truly committed to breaking the 9-5 mould by Making Cotter Builders and our work life a lifestyle rather than the 9-5.” Cotter Builders is a dynamic and dedicated team with a robust work ethic. Established in 2015 and officially incorporated in 2019, the company has achieved significant milestones in just five years. Notably, Michael was honoured with the Master Builders
