Tricia started her career as a carpenter, working "on the tools". It was never planned, she kind of fell into it and ended working for her parents residential building business for 8 years. During that time, she completed her carpentry apprenticeship, got married, got pregnant, bought a renovator’s delight and moved into more of the sales and estimating side of the business. During this time, Tricia also decided to start volunteering as a leader of youth with Girl Guides.
During her now 10 years in Brisbane, she has worked for several companies, her husband and her have almost finished renovating their delight and they (her husband and her) have decided to get into house flipping. They are currently getting ready to start their second house.
‘Bringing houses back to life’ requires the purchase of old Queenslanders in Ipswich, renovating and extending them, turning them back into lovely and larger family homes. Their flipping business is great as it keeps them busy and out of trouble. Tricia also likes flipping houses as she gets to use and share her carpentry skills and also is able to spend heaps of time with her best friend.
Talking to Tricia on this Podcast …… we found out what made her decide to volunteer as a leader with the Girl Guides, the diverse roles she’s had and we had a few laughs along the way. It was great to have a chat with a fellow estimator!
