Send us a textThis week, we sit down with Don Cotterill, Director of Sanctuary 28, a Gold Coast-based builder known for providing a personal service and ensuring exceptional quality in every home. With over 30 years in the region, Don's extensive career trajectory, from an apprenticeship to General Manager at Dixon Homes, provided him with a unique "back of house" understanding of running a construction company. He founded Sanctuary 28 in the early 2000s, named for the Gold Coast's Latitude 28 and the concept of "home," evolving from personalised project homes to high-end architectural custom builds.In this episode, Don delves into the high-risk nature of the building industry, candidly sharing his fears about "dragging people down" and discussing current challenges like skyrocketing labour costs contributing to a "nonprofit boom." He offers insights into the future of home building, predicting a rise in multi-generational and prefabricated housing. Don also elaborates on Sanctuary 28's operational philosophy, including their reliance on skilled subcontractors, their team structure overseeing multi-million dollar projects, and his personal passion for crafting architectural designs uniquely tailored to the land.
