Our Journey in Custom Home Building
Our Journey in Custom Home BuildingBorn on the Sunshine Coast, Joe McGuirk, managing director, builder, and founder of J Co Constructions, grew up in the construction industry. He completed his carpentry apprenticeship at a young age and went on to supervise and run a small subcontracting business. During his time in the industry, Joe discovered his true passion for creating quality, sustainable, and affordable homes.
In 2011, Joe obtained his low-rise builder’s licence after completing his Certificate IV in Building. Shortly after that, in 2012, Joe founded J Co Constructions. With his mum, Anita, by his side, the company continued to grow and prosper. From its humble beginnings with a small team, J Co Constructions has grown to a team of 9 employees and hundreds of trusted subcontractors.
Our Awards and Recognitions
In 2015, J Co Constructions entered its first home in the Queensland Master Builders Awards, winning both its category and the prestigious President’s Award. This marked the beginning of our journey towards excellence. The following year, in 2016, we continued to prosper by winning four awards, including a national title and another President’s Award.
In recognition of the company’s excellence, Joe was honoured to receive the Rising Star Award in 2017, which acknowledges emerging talent in the building and construction industry. This esteemed award considers criteria such as professionalism, workmanship, and leadership.
Since then, J Co Constructions has continued to shine, earning multiple awards for Best House in various categories. Each award is a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality and our passion for creating beautiful, lasting homes.
