about us

Garry Noorbergen is Absolute Property Improvements. Garry is skilled in all aspects of carpentry and building and has a flair for “thinking outside the box"....especially little three bedroom brick and tile or fibro boxes!

Garry has building in his blood. Growing up in an extended family of builders in country Victoria, he watched, learnt and was inspired. At age 18 Garry left Victoria and set out on a five year learning and working journey through the many landscapes of Australia.

He settled on Dangar Island on the Hawkesbury River in NSW, extending his knowledge and appreciation of art, architecture and the river. He spent seven years there before moving to Sydney's Northern Beaches closer to his new wife Jacqueline's family.

On the beaches he met up with several successful builders and architects, learning from them their excellent management skills, and was trusted to manage individual jobs with his team of trades. He enjoyed the varied styles of work - the ocean meets the bush inspired architecture of Palm Beach and the traditional heritage style of Manly.

After two children came along, Garry relocated with his little family to Umina Beach on the Central Coast, and for the first year continued to commute to work at Palm Beach via the ferry. The following year he joined a construction team and worked at the Umina and Woy Woy campuses of Brisbane Waters Secondary College.

Recently on the central coast he has completed several decks and staircases with locally manufactured handrails and balustrading. In Sydney, his focus has been mostly on remedial work and renovations in tight heritage harbour residential suburbs like Manly and Neutral Bay. Always fun, always ready for a challenge!
