About Our Guests:
Timothy Cocaro, CEO/Founder of canibuild
Timothy Cocaro possesses
the unlikely mix of being both a builder by trade and a holder of a
computer science degree.
Timothy’s tenure as Founder and
CEO of Australia’s leading Granny Flat company, provided the
necessary insight to see and, more importantly, understand the pain
points of the construction industry.
This led Timothy to put his
degree in computer science to use by creating a modern solution,
that genuinely aligns with the needs of the construction
industry.
In 2019, Timothy hung up his
hard hat when he became Founder and CEO of canibuild, a
world-first, hypergrowth Prop Tech that is transforming the
construction landscape.
canibuild was developed to be
the solution to the many root problems in the construction industry
with its AI engine allowing home, pool, granny flat & other
builders to instantly check site feasibility, site costs, generate
site plans & produce quotes with just a click.
canibuild has gained
unprecedented traction across the construction industry since its
inception, with thousands of searches on the platform every day.
canibuild has re-energised the industry by providing its
subscribers the ability to be hyper-efficient at a time when the
market is booming.
canibuild
canibuild allows builders to replace the need for
physical site visits, drafting, surveying, estimating and instead
optimising this complex series of high friction steps into an
instant point of transaction. canibuild clients can now go from
seeing a project site virtually with a client to contract
instantly. This not only allows builders to be more efficient but
also covers a much wider area geographically which is a
game-changer in an industry that is so fragmented.
Simon Curtis, Chief Operating Officer at G.J. Gardner
Homes
Simon Curtis
is the Chief Operating Officer of
G.J. Gardner Homes NSW/ACT and WA and is responsible for the
brand’s operation in these states. Leading a Head Office team,
Simon’s primary responsibilities are:
With more than 20 years of
experience at some of Australia’s largest property companies under
his belt, Simon has proven that he is a strong leader and clear
communicator who possesses the ability to motivate, mentor and
inspire others.
Simon holds a Bachelor of
Business from the University of Queensland and a Master of Project
Management from the University of Southern Queensland.
G.J Gardner Homes
G.J. Gardner Homes is a custom home building company. They have
built over 36,000 quality, customised homes over the past 37 years
and continue to grow on the back of a single premise – ensuring
every customer would refer them to their closest friend. Throughout
the building of a new home, they are dedicated to the highest
standard of workmanship. Each of their qualified builders and
preferred subcontractors have been selected for their individual
standards of expertise and their commitment to
excellence.
From humble beginnings in 1983
in Queensland as an independent building firm owned by Greg
Gardner, G.J. Gardner Homes quickly grew to 8 regional offices,
building as many as 1,000 custom homes a year. G.J. Gardner Homes
quickly established a reputation for building great value, quality
homes. Due to popular demand, Greg decided to franchise the
business and almost immediately became one of Queensland’s largest
privately owned building companies. Fast forward to today, G.J.
Gardner Homes has become a household name throughout Australia, New
Zealand and the USA. With over 120 franchisees operating throughout
the world, supported by multiple global offices, G.J. Gardner Homes
continues to build a reputation for reliability and for being a
company our customers can trust.
