Peter has always known that building is all about solving problems. The practical problems of translating an architect’s concept into reality, the intangible problems of ensuring what’s in a client’s mind is brought faithfully to life, and the day-to-day problems of running a company capable of rising to whatever construction challenge is thrown at it. In a career spanning 30 years, Peter has made such problem solving his specialty.Even in his formative years at Kane Constructions, Peter was recognised for his leadership potential and capacity to think outside the square. When a project needed special care and attention, Peter’s innate ability to propose solutions that met both practical and emotional considerations was an invaluable asset.Today, as the CEO of Ducon, the company he founded in 2003 with business partner Roger Gribble, it’s no surprise to learn that Peter enjoys a reputation among clients, staff, peers and the industry at large as someone capable of bringing great empathy, insight and of course building talent to a project. Peter’s particular pride is the team he has assembled at Ducon. The staff of 50 is testament to his ability to attract talented people capable of not only sharing a vision, but delivering on it. The Ducon team values caring and communication above all, personifying Peter’s philosophy that how you do business is just as important as what business is done. Combined with a trademark ‘can do’ approach to construction, the team is the bedrock of Ducon’s reputation as a solution-centric company dedicated to making building better and easier.Peter says he can build anything, he means it. It’s the assured confidence that comes with deep knowledge of the building trade, wide experience and resources in the industry, and a determination to find new ways to make the ordinary extraordinary and the impossible possible. It’s also the mark of a true modern day maverick.
