30 years ago this week we started Cleal Constructions. After 6 years of commercial building with L.H Brown , where Steve completed his apprenticeship and then 6 years with Parnall Constructions as a site foreman , Steve decided that it was time to take a huge leap of faith and start up our own business. With 1 tool trailer, a HQ ute (that is still sitting in our shed) we embarked on a whirlwind of amazing projects, meeting great clients and long hours navigating the ever changing landscape of the building industry. So much has changed over the years , from building prices , materials and regulations. The house in this photo was our first project , an extension on a house at the corner of Chomley Street and Vernon Road in Wangaratta. We take a lot of pride in driving around Wangaratta and surrounding areas and seeing the projects that we have completed over our 30 years and we are proud that we have continued to keep building our custom projects to a high level of craftsmanship. Thank you to the Wangaratta community who have supported us over these years and for a few more to come
