Our Story
Building? Get in touch with kobo today
Following an early interest in life for hands on construction, our leader and visionary Joseph Koborsi began his venture into the construction industry as a site manager for a luxury home builder. It's this early experience that gave him a deep understanding of the importance of attention to detail and the need for precise planning and execution.
Since then, Joseph has gone on to work on numerous commercial and residential construction projects across Sydney, utilising his vast skills and extensive expertise to deliver exceptional results time and time again for his clients.
Known for his attention to detail and his ability to manage projects with precision, Joe believes that every project, no matter how big or small, deserves the same level of attention and care. His commitment to quality and his meticulous approach to project management have earned him a reputation as a trusted and reliable contractor in the industry.
In addition to his project management and leadership skills, Joseph is also known for his hands-on approach to construction. To this day he still enjoys being in the centre of the action, and understands that sometimes, the best way to speed up the progress of a job is to utilise his own years of experience on the tools.
This dedication to quality and efficiency has earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and clients alike.
Kobo Project's unique advantage is that we actively have chosen to stay small and approachable for our clients. Joe has learnt through his 20 years of experience in the construction industry that sometimes staying small is the best!
The great advantage of this is like any business owner, no one loves his business and his clients like Joe does. Staying approachable means we can connect personally with our clients and understand their needs at the deepest level.
With a larger building company you will deal with a new person at each stage of the process, from sales to prestart, then construction and even during the handover and post-maintenance. At every step of the way you will have a new face and personality to handle.
Does that sound like a personable experience to you? Wouldn’t it be a lot easier and comfortable throughout if you were dealing with one person through the whole process, with someone you have built a relationship of trust with? Well, you won't have to worry about being passed from person to person with us.
When clients come to us and want to do something different, we get excited. Remaining small and family-oriented makes it easy for us to really build your dream project exactly as you envisioned.
With a small builder, he is actually building your home. He's not a supervisor or a project manager. It's not a different face every day where you need to relay the same information you told the last guy. It's common to see even medium size building companies have up to a dozen supervisors. Is this something you want to risk when building your next home?
With Kobo, you'll be dealing with the same face that is building your project at every stage of the build. Building someone’s dream is the most exhilarating and rewarding experience. Through the deep connections we get to establish with our clients as a small builder, we have forged many lasting friendships over the years.
A question I sometimes get asked when talking to potential clients is: what if something happens to my builder?
A good question indeed – I might get hit by a bus! Fortunately, legislation requires under any building contract that the builder must include indemnity insurance. This insurance protects you against anything happening to the builder, should he become insolvent or incapable of completing the work through illness, accident or death, and pays for another builder to continue your home.
Here are some reasons why working with a small builder is best for you:
Kobo Projects are one of the leading residential and commercial builders in Sydney, taking immense pride in our approachability, quality craftmanship, eye for precision, and client focused approach to building. You can trust Kobo to build your dream.
