Atkinson Pontifex has established itself as the premier boutique builder of Bayside.
We specialize in high end residential architectural homes that are unique to our clients’ visions. We have developed strong relationships with our exclusive contractors and specialised trades, that gives us the confidence to achieve such high standards. From small renovations to multi-story homes with basements, we have the resources and the passion to deliver you the complete package of house and garden.
Our Approach
Our approach to the building process is that of a personal one. We value our relationship with each client immensely and aim to provide a service that is rarely found elsewhere.
From start to finish, Atkinson Pontifex will be totally committed and will be overseeing the whole project. We are lucky enough to be selective in our projects, this usually means that the number of jobs running at any one time ensures total continuity over the duration of the job.
The Atkinson Pontifex product is one that is based on quality, attention to detail, and backed by consistent research into the most efficient techniques and the latest technology. The result being, family homes that last forever.
Philosophy
We are constantly challenging ourselves to improve and put considerable time and effort into problem solving so our clients are rewarded with the best possible outcome. However, our main focus on all of our projects is to do whatever possible to assist and facilitate our clients building their dreams.
Sustainability
We acknowledge the direction of the building industry towards the environment and adhere to sustainable practices whenever possible. Although we are not building designers, our input to the process will always have a sustainable consideration and we will recommend environmentally friendly products and practices.
Our Story
Dean Atkinson and David Pontifex met at four year old kinder and grew up attending the same primary school. After school and becoming qualified carpenters and joiners, they started their business following their passion for creating, building, and constructing.
An old table setup in the garage of the first house that they purchased, was the beginning of the Atkinson Pontifex brand. Fast forward 30 years and many things have changed. However the reason they started together, and the passion they share hasn’t shifted away from those early days.
Community
We like to see ourselves as an important part of the Bayside community. We enjoy engaging with the other local organisations, and the great people of Bayside to ensure our fabulous lifestyle by the beach is maintained. It is within our culture to make sure we give back to the community and help our where we can.
