This is a hands-on, client-facing role suited to someone who is highly organised, passionate about residential design and craftsmanship, and genuinely cares about detail, planning and exceptional quality.

As the year comes to a close, we have been reflecting on what has been a truly rewarding one.

This year saw the handover of many beautifully crafted homes to our clients, alongside the start of several new projects now taking shape on site. These homes are a celebration of what we love, creating unique residences, designed to reflect our clients' individuality and enrich the way they live.

Alongside the work itself, we celebrated some meaningful milestones, marking 25 years in business and being honoured with Residential Master Builder of the Year for the second time. We also welcomed new team members across our admin, design and construction teams, and proudly saw our Director Jock Merrigan step into the role of President of Master Builders South Australia.

A thank you to our collaborators and consultants for your skill and shared standards. And to our team, thank you for the pride and care you bring to every project.

Wishing everyone a joy-filled Christmas, a well-earned break, and an inspired start to the new year.

Our office is now closed for the festive period and will reopen on the 12th of January.

SOLD | 16 Little Archer Street has now found its new owners – just six days after going to market.

We’re incredibly grateful for the interest, the kind words, and the thoughtful conversations shared along the way.

With the overwhelming response, we’re pleased to share that the second residence, 14 Little Archer Street, North Adelaide, is now available to purchase.

Little Archer sits in a quiet pocket of North Adelaide where life feels beautifully balanced. Turn left onto Archer Street and you’ll find the open parklands. Turn right and you’re moments from the renewed energy of O’Connell Street. Here, life unfolds gently – close to everything, yet quietly tucked away.

Inside, these homes have been crafted for living well. Sunlight moves through soft, calm spaces, gardens are intimate and welcoming, and every surface feels carefully considered.

Open this Saturday from 12:30 - 1:00pm. If you pictured yourself within the walls of 16 Little Archer Street, we invite you to explore its neighbour – the final opportunity at Little Archer.

For more information, please contact Ross Smith from Giordano and Partners on 0400 224 998.
