A lot of my experience as a builder has been obtained by working on renovations in Sydney. In particular such areas as Balmain, Hunters Hill, Lilyfield and Annandale. Due to the nature of these areas I understand the importance of accurate surveying. Since, returning to Canberra in 2003 I have formed my own building company and only use Peter and his team at 4D Surveying due to their professionalism and attention to detail.
