He who works with his hands is a labourer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.
Craftsmanship and Artistry.
After more than two decades as a custom residential Master Builder with ongoing work pilgrimages to Japan, Rob Gili continues to seek creative inspiration while honing his artisanal skills. It is with this perfecting mindset that Gili Constructions take on projects as opportunities to add artistic value with duty of care. And it is with such accumulated building-making experience that produces results of beauty, quality and longevity. Gili Constructions is passionate about providing building solutions that speak to the design vision. And believe craftsmanship and artistry is applying (not the latest) but appropriate technologies and assemblies for the task.
Healthy buildings, healthy society.
Beyond creative passion and technical ability, Gili Constructions recognises ‘shokunin’ - craftsmanship with social consciousness. In our rapidly changing world, we know this power to create comes with social responsibility towards the health of humans and this planet. Our continual research into physiological well-being, products that enable healthy living, and user comfort & safety informs our belief that simple upgrades add performance and longevity to occupants and their buildings. Gili Constructions is PassiveHouse certified, and geared to work with like-minded homeowners and PassiveHouse designers.
Our Process and Team.
Whether it’s a major renovation or a bespoke new home, Gili Constructions understands building is ultimately a human process. For this reason, Rob and his team believe fervently in careful consideration of the client design brief, and a positive working relationship with robust communication amongst architect, client and collaborators. With a team of professional trades, administrators and paperless construction management, Gili Constructions focuses on achieving the best built result, whilst enabling a smooth and meaningful building experience. We look forward to making buildings that enhance the health and lives of our generation, and leaving an artistic legacy for the generations to come.
