This week on The Gippsland Builder, we're talking about the people who help make the builds happen.

Trav and Josh sit down with Sean, branch manager at Dahlsens (and also Trav's brother!), to unpack a partnership between G.J. Warragul and Dahlsens that goes back more than 10 years, all the way to the early days when both businesses were finding their feet in the Warragul market.

They get into what a real partnership actually looks like. Backing each other through the tough stretches, like the supply shortages during COVID.

Solving the headaches of tricky delivery sites. Rolling out new systems. Less vendor and customer, more two local businesses growing together and committing to another decade of it, with opportunities for their teams and a focus on building right across Gippsland.

If you're thinking about your own build, dreaming, planning, or somewhere in between, we'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Gippsland Builder.

Before we get into builds, trades, and the stuff that goes into a 10/10 home, we figured we should tell you who we actually are.

Trav sits down with Josh, the director of G.J. Warragul, to lay the foundations. From picking up the tools as a young apprentice, to the moment Trav and Josh's paths first crossed, to the decision to open the doors of G.J. Warragul - Josh shares the story behind the business and the standard it's built on.

If you're thinking about your own build, dreaming, planning, or somewhere in between - we'd love to hear from you.
