Behind the Master Plan with Anthony Smith

We are talking with Anthony Smith today, our Senior Construction Supervisor based from our Ballarat office - the person that manages the construction of a JG King Home, making sure it's completed on time and meets JG King Homes quality standards.
 

How long have you worked at JG King Homes for:

I have been working at JG King Homes for 11 years! I love what I do, it has been a really rewarding 11 short years (at least that's how I feel).

What does a typical day at work look like:

A typical day at work for a Construction Supervisor consists of scheduling and coordinating the construction of homes and this comes along with a significant amount of problem-solving. I ensure that each stage of the project is completed and all compulsory inspections are carried out, covering a range of tasks.

What led you to working in this role:

I started off as a Carpenter and constantly moving up throughout my time here in JG King Homes, and now I am a Senior Construction Supervisor. I have seen and brought homes to life and see families dream home comes to life, and there is nothing more rewarding than that!

Greatest achievement in your career:

Getting consistent positive feedback from our customers when we are able to showcase our strong ability to deliver a quality home in a way that makes our customer feel valued is one of the best achievement I can get in my career. Another one is when I am able to prioritise supporting team members, effectively helping them perform to the best of their abilities and to see them push the best out of themselves and see them grow in their role is something that makes me really proud. And lastly, building exceptional relationships with stakeholders, community partners, trades and suppliers. Establishing trust and positions as a reliable source of knowledge and communication and make them feel more than it's just a business transaction.

What does home mean to you:

To me, Home represent a place of comfort and security where one can relax and be themselves. It's not just about the physical structure but also feelings of belonging and connection with family and friends. Home is where memories are made and cherished and it often reflects ones personality and values.

Describe your dream forever home:

No 4, The Esplanade, Portarlington. See it for yourself! I can't really explain it in detail, but you can see what I want out of a dream home. My dream home would be a place somewhere near the ocean, ideally with a view to the ocean too, High Ceilings, and large outdoor areas!
