Our aim is to encourage conversations around responsible construction that highlight a thoughtful approach to the building process. Together we can identify ways to save time, money and importantly resources without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Dean is a Green Star certified, Licensed carpenter and Builder. He has a wealth of knowledge in high-end residential, commercial and hospitality fields and has a real passion for moving the built environment towards a more responsible future. He is always keen to explore new ways of doing things and is excited to work with new materials and clients.
With over fifteen years of experience in the construction industry, Matt began his journey as an apprentice carpenter working on architecturally designed houses in Australia’s southwest. His love for the trade and dedication led him to successfully run his carpentry business before joining forces to create Verdecon. Matt prides himself on his strong communication and the ability to collaborate closely with clients to ensure that every house he works on turns into a home.
Michael Correa comes from a corporate banking background with experience in green investments. He commissioned Verdecon to carry out renovations to his Watson’s Bay residence and saw something special in the approach and results on his own project. He became a mentor to Dean and Matt, guiding their financial and business decision making, eventually becoming a permanent fixture as a third director. Since his involvement Verdecon has achieved an elevated level of success and it’s continuing to flourish during challenging times in the industry.
"Throughout my time with Verdecon, I have been deeply engaged with B Corp accreditation, carbon neutrality, advocacy, and education. This is not your standard construction company by any means."
