Welcome to J Co Constructions, a proud family-owned, Sunshine Coast custom home builders’ company. With over 12 years of dedicated service, we have built a reputation for delivering high-quality custom homes that reflect our clients’ unique visions. Our commitment to excellence has earned us numerous accolades, including our latest achievement: winning the Queensland Master Builders Award for the best residential home on the Sunshine Coast in the $400-550 thousand category. This prestigious recognition highlights our dedication to craftsmanship and innovation in every project.
Our Journey in Custom Home Building
Born 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.

Celebrating Success in Custom Home Building
Joe attributes J Co’s success to the team’s unwavering passion for the building industry, strong client relationships, and the careful selection of skilled tradesmen. Joe remains an active member of the building community, attending regular meetings held by the Master Builders Association (MBA) to stay informed and up-to-date with legislative changes, as well as forming close bonds with other local builders to share and expand knowledge.
We would like to thank our winning clients for choosing us to build their dream home. Their clear vision and excellent taste were pivotal in creating the award-winning Park Avenue Palms. Special thanks to Corrie, our sales/CLO, and Cody, the onsite supervisor, for their outstanding contributions to the project.
