Mark and Toby Robertson are the brothers behind Altbuild.
Each with over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, brothers Mark and Toby bring a wealth of knowledge, skill, and passion to every project they undertake. Growing up, they worked together as teenagers in their father’s solid timber construction company, where they learned the importance of quality craftsmanship and building performance from a young age. This foundation has shaped their careers and commitment to delivering excellence in every home they build.
Mark, a qualified Construction Manager, oversees every detail of the building process, ensuring that each project is executed to the highest standards. His expertise in construction management and his eye for detail ensure that every home is built with precision and care. Toby, the Project Manager and Customer Lead, excels at guiding clients through the building process, from initial consultation to final walk-through. His approachable and down-to-earth nature makes him a trusted partner for clients, keeping them informed and engaged throughout their journey.
We have a talented team of carpenters who carry out our building work to the highest standard. They are all very experienced with high-performance, architectural builds and with renovation projects. Our team are trained in executing details to the highest standard.
Our culture is hugely important to us and a happy crew means a safe and efficient project. You are very welcome to meet our crew as part of the pre-construction process. We also have a wonderful administrator Jaye who takes care of all of the accounts and payment claims.
The team had lots of input into the house and their experience was really appreciated.
The attention to detail and workmanship was second to none.
