How we build-
When you choose Adam Smith Homes, you’re choosing more than just a builder - you’re choosing someone who cares about your vision, your comfort and the long-term value of your home. We bring together three core strengths: superior craftsmanship, committed sustainability and a truly stress-free building experience.
First, craftsmanship. At Adam Smith Homes we work exclusively with high-end tradespeople-skilled artisans who take pride in finish, detail and durability. Every joint, every fixture, every space is handled as if we ourselves were going to live there. This isn’t mass production: it’s bespoke quality built to last.
Second, sustainability. We know building a home is a major investment - financially, emotionally and environmentally. That’s why we make smart, responsible material and construction choices so your home is not only beautiful but also built with respect for the planet, for energy efficiency, for the future.
Third, we prioritise your peace of mind. Building should be exhilarating, not overwhelming. Our process is transparent, organised and designed to keep you informed but never burdened. We handle the logistics, the trades, the scheduling - you simply enjoy watching your home come to life - with confidence that everything is being done properly.
In short: choose Adam Smith Homes because you want a home crafted with integrity, built with sustainability in mind, and delivered with minimal stress. Because your home isn’t just another project - it’s your life, your comfort, your legacy. Let us build something exceptional together.
I grew up in northern NSW and made the move to Brisbane at 18. My parents always joked I was meant to be a carpenter, but I took a few scenic detours first. Turns out, they were right. However, those twists and turns ended up shaping the builder I am today.
I originally planned to become an engineer before shifting into cabinetry and interiors on super yachts, an experience that sharpened my eye for precision and detail. From there, I followed the pull toward something more grounded and meaningful: building homes. I became a carpenter by trade, then spent a decade in project management with a local builder before launching Adam Smith Homes in 2020.
A few of my favourite things: my family (I married my childhood sweetheart the second time around, so now we’ve got a wonderfully chaotic blended crew), good food and great wine, fishing, soccer, karate and the rare chance to escape for a ski trip (nostalgic about the Canada ski season I did back in the day!).
Why I love building:
I thrive on the challenge. I’m always refining my processes, questioning the “we’ve always done it this way” mentality and finding better, smarter solutions. I’m genuinely excited by homes with personality: spaces with a point of interest and character, not just another box. Quality over quantity is the backbone of how I work. Nothing makes me happier than handing over the keys to a place that truly feels like home.
