Alan Bishop commenced his building career as a carpentry apprentice in Ballarat in 1977 and returned to Lowood in his home state of Queensland in1991. He worked as a subcontractor until he joined GJ Gardner Homes in 2003 as a Site Supervisor. In 2006 the opportunity arose for Alan to purchase the rights to the GJ Gardner Homes Ipswich franchise.

GJ Gardner Homes – Ipswich is a family run business with Alan’s wife Robyn completing administration, daughter Regina looking after accounts and Alan’s brother Glenn is one of the Sales Consultants. Over the years Alan has been involved in a variety of projects including houses and duplexs as well as schools, factories and supermarkets .

The most challenging project to date for Alan and his team involved a house in Karalee - there were a lot of new fixtures and fittings that neither Alan nor his trades people had previously used. As a tribute to the skills of the trades people and subcontractors selected by Alan they successfully and efficiently completed the project and had the pleasure of giving their customer a home that exceeded their expectations. The selection of a great group of subcontracts makes the Ipswich team one of the most sought after builders in the area.

There are immense opportunities presented as part of the GJ Gardner Group. “Starting your own business is a daunting task however being associated with the well-known and respected GJ Gardner Homes brand gives us the strength and support that most other builders never experience”.

Alan and his team are heavily involved in their local community and sponsor many local events. In 2006 with the support of local suppliers and subcontractor the Ipswich team in conjunction with River 94.9 and QLD Property Group co-ordinated the construction of the house in Collingwood Park which was subsequently given away. Alan prides himself in being able to provide an affordable option for people to build their own quality home– he even assists his clients in locating finance to enable the great Australian dream of owning your own home to become a reality.

Lifestyles are all about choice, and when it comes to selecting a home, you want the same flexibility. Whether you need a roomy versatile home or asmall compact home, there’s a GJ Gardner home to suit you. Alan and his experienced team understand that you are an individual and have unique requirements when building your home. “By working together we can design and build a home that suits you, your lifestyle and your needs”. 02.07.2007
