Chris Cowley

Director

Hi, I’m Chris and I’ve been lucky enough to help bring to life hundreds of building and construction projects over the last 44 years.

What I love most about CKJ:
We don’t compromise. We have old fashioned values, that I was brought up with, that I have passed onto my children. Plus we like to take the pain out of building.

If I wasn’t with CKJ, what would I be doing?
Honestly? Watching football and riding my motorbike. In 10 years I’ll be retired or semi-retired and relaxing travelling to parts of Australia with my wife.

What makes CKJ different?
Our relationships with our clients. They become part of our CKJ family, and that’s really important to us

What will I be doing next Saturday night?
Watching football, somewhere.

Chad Cowley

Project Manager

Hi, I’m Chad, the project manager at CKJ.

What is my history with CKJ?
I joined the family company of CKJ Building services Australia in 2009. University wasn’t an option for me.

What makes CKJ different?
I’ve always been drawn building and working hands on and with CKJ I can build with passion, not a degree. At CKJ Building Services Australia, we bring the joy back to building, no matter the size. Our clients love our stress-free approach (maybe because building is easier than watching Liverpool FC play every week!)

Jarrod Cowley

Site Supervisor

Hi, I’m Jarrod and I’ve been helping dreams come true for the past 6 years.

What I love most about CKJ?
We are family, family is always there to help no matter how big and or how small the issue is.

If I wasn’t with CKJ, what would I be doing?
I would be travelling around country Australia, seeing what it has to offer.

What makes CKJ different?
We are very personable; we are always there for a chat and happy to help our clients create their masterpiece.

What will I be doing next Saturday night?
Watching my favourite Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs take home a victory.

What our clients have to say

“On behalf of me and my husband, I would just like to thank you once again for the great work you did in overseeing the job at our unit. As we mentioned, the issue in our bathroom has been ongoing and unresolved for several months now and in all honesty, we had almost given up all hope of ever seeing the end of it! Therefore, going on to deal with someone who was so prompt, professional and organised was a welcome change. We are delighted that you have been able to complete in the space of a few days what no-one else has even come close to in as many months.

Thanks again, we will not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone.”

Phoebe and Andrew

“We are very happy to provide this testimonial for CKJ Building Services.
CKJ undertook a full renovation and extension of our Turramurra property and transformed it from a 1950’s bungalow to modern, open and easy living house. Chris and team were open and constructive during planning phase, excellent in communicating, problem solving and finding building solutions during construction – especially Site Foreman Greg and provided a high quality finish at handover. We can highly recommend CKJ Building Services.”

Denis and Dee Phelps

“… In terms of the cottage, the trades went to great lengths to seek alternative means of conserving materials, details and paint finishes. There was genuine pride and appreciation evident in the working process and this showed clearly in the end product. Our practice found it a pleasure attending the site visits and participating in the 6 month adventure of the project during the works. As architects, and heritage consultants we earned many benefits and collected additional knowledge from CKJ through participating in the construction program.

We would highly endorse the organization and the team that we worked well with at Riverstone.”
