Good design like families requires lots of attention to detail and a spark of creativity to make it all work.
Having enjoyed more than forty (40) years of family life Robert Harbottle knows the importance of the details, listening and making good on all commitments. The fun stuff is the creative sparks that turns ordinary to extraordinary. Sometimes it comes easy and others you have to work a little harder, but always its a delight to create something new.
I'm a Queenslander. Brisbane born and bred, but work placements have lead me to the Newcastle Region of NSW, Canberra and Adelaide, SA and after many years I was finally able to come back to Queensland.
Along with many Industry Certifications, a Trade Certificate; I have a Diploma in Theology and am finishing a Diploma in Building Design from TAFE Queensland. And I'm a member of the Queensland Building Designers Association.
My early work history relates to many successful years in IT both as Sales Manager, General Manager & Business Owner. A sea-change allowed me to take up a position with a Residential & Commercial Builder and there I worked as the Coordinator for Design & Special Projects. Self taught in CAD systems I first purchased a simple CAD software package and quickly upgraded to a BIM (Building Information Modelling) System by Cadsoft - The Envisioneer Construction Suite. Just short of seven years of employment followed with many homes and projects completed. The Principal and Build Supervisor were great teachers and I continue to develop those initial skills I gained.
Today I work as an independent Building Designer and have completed projects across the Bundaberg Region, North Queensland and Brisbane. In addition, I do project work for a number of successful Builders.
