THE KINGSTON TEAMAs Managing Director, Colin leads the Kingston team with his experience, vision and ethics. From financial and strategic planning roles in multi-national industries early in his career, Colin moved into the building sector where he has had 35 years managing construction and development projects.

Colin builds strong relationships based on respect with open and honest

communication that fosters a high level of trust. For his team, this provides an opportunity to excel. For clients, it creates an environment of good intent with mutually beneficial outcomes.

Since 2001, Colin’s motivational leadership has driven Kingston’s company values of Respect, Learning, Quality and Performance. These values and principles of conduct ensure honest and responsible interaction with stakeholders and the community.

Projects are managed with integrity, delivering both immediate and long-term benefits.

Colin works on the principle that every client should be delighted with Kingston’s performance and is proud to lead a team of people who stand apart from the ‘norm’.

When it comes to construction projects, Simon has priced, managed and built it. From his hands on practical experience as a tradesman, Simon moved into estimating and project management roles with major builders before joining Kingston. His building expertise allows him to look at projects from every angle.

Simon’s knowledge and professionalism as builder, estimator and manager along

with a can-do approach, provides innovative solutions to budgetary and engineering challenges. When an architect’s plans for a prestigious apartment block did not fit the budget, Simon devised a simple alternative. For Kingston’s new head office he made ingenious use of recycled materials.

For clients this means dedication to budget and value-added ideas for a superior end result. Strong in all facets of construction, Simon’s key role is in the initial scoping, feasibility and costing of projects, where

he provides valuable input into the planning stage and then actively liaises with consultants, clients and sub-contractors to ensure smooth construction programming and project management.

Passionate about quality and craftsmanship, Simon strives for 100% client satisfaction for every project and plays a pivotal role in a hardworking team where people are aligned in their core values. Clients can be confident that Kingston’s approach will achieve their vision.

THE KINGSTON TEAM›

Matt began his estimating career with on-site project manager experience on multi-unit residential projects, prestige homes, hotels, clubs and restaurants.

As Kingston’s Estimating Manager, Matt oversees the entire tendering process.

As well as compiling a bill of quantities, cost plans and construction programs, he leads our team of estimators, communicates with clients and supervises the submission of all tender bids. He negotiates with sub-contractors and suppliers and makes recommendations to the Project Managers.

Matt’s innovative approach enables clients to achieve their vision while working within a budget. An important part of his role is the research of new construction methodologies, products and materials, so that Kingston is able to offer clients new

options that they may not have considered but may deliver time and cost savings. He also provides guidance to clients through their local council development application and construction certificate stages. This helps provide a turnkey solution that starts with a vision and ends in the realisation of a goal.

The Midal Cables $30m Tomago facility was a major industrial Design and Construct project that Matt successfully took from tender to completion whilst working alongside engineers to maximise efficiencies through every stage of the project.
