Keeping it in the family.
Reuben Beazley Builder
-
Reuben’s dad Brent started his
working life in 1960 as an apprentice
carpenter on the north shore of
Auckland, New Zealand.
When he had completed his 5 year
apprenticeship as a carpenter and
joiner, he and 3 other mates decided
to travel to Australia for a 6 month
working holiday. The friends returned
to New Zealand, however Brent
remained in Australia, working on the
construction of the Sydney Opera
House, and many of the new
mansions on the canals of
Surfers Paradise.
After several years of travel, working
as a carpenter Brent decided to settle
in Victoria and became a registered
builder who specialised in Designer
Building for clients who wanted
something
different in their homes.
Brent married Wendy Bertram in
1970 at St Matthews in Cheltenham,
Melbourne. A few years later the deci-sion
was made to settle in Bendigo,
as both Brent and Wendy wanted to
be closer to Wendy’s
family, and also bring up their
children in a provincial city with easy
access to Melbourne and the airport.
Wendy has been always involved in
overseeing the management of the
business, and continues to be the
Office Manager for Reuben Beazley
Builder.
It was clear from an early stage that
Reuben wanted to follow his Dad into
the building industry.
He used to trail after his Dad around
the property with his wheelbarrow
and tools when he was 3 year old,
saying he was going to be a builder
when he grew up. He became an
apprentice for Brent as a carpenter
and joiner, and was an award
winning apprentice during his period
of training.
He continued to work as a
carpenter with Brent for 6 years,
then commenced study to become
a registered builder. Today Brent
is still involved with checking on
the sites, sharing his expertise, and
organising deliveries of materials as
required.
Reuben and Deb married in 2003.
Deb is now the Sales and Marketing
Manager for the business, and
continues to strengthen the
business marketing strategies with
further professional development.
Reuben’s brother Aaron who also
did his carpentry and joinery
apprenticeship with Brent, is now a
registered builder, and has recently
joined Reuben’s team as a Site
Manager. He is now also liaising
with clients and suppliers in order to
achieve positive outcomes towards
the completion of new homes.
Whilst too early to predict, it is
interesting to note that the next
generation of Beazleys’ are now
following their dads’ around the
building sites.
Reuben has now been a builder for
8 years and has made a name for
himself as a builder of individually
designed homes, for clients who
want to have homes of a high
standard and innovative design.
Reuben has a team of specialised
professionals who can, together,
deliver a package which not only
represents individuality in the design
with a high quality, but also value for
money when comparing to what is
available in the market place.

5. Kitchen matters.
-
When clients begin to design their
new home there is often a large
amount of focus placed on kitchen
design. For many people the kitchen
is a gathering centre where food
brings family and friends together
and many happy hours are spent.
A kitchen needs to reflect your own
individual needs incorporating a good
functional flow with strong durable
surfaces. When creating your kitchen
“wish list” think about the practical
aspects and how you work within
your kitchen, the other detailed
design elements will then follow.
There is an endless selection of
products, appliances, surfaces and
colour to help you achieve a kitchen
design that suits you and your home.
Some products, as suggested by
Award Winning cabinet maker /
designer Glenn Bourke, will make
you think about what items he
considers best value and where your
dollar will be best applied.
“Stone benches is where your money
will be best spent, any type of stone
surface is going to be a great
investment” says Glenn, natural
granite bench tops apart from being
very durable, heat resistant they are
unique in their pattern and colouring
giving your kitchen that instant WOW
factor.
Reconstituted stone bench tops have
more modern constant colouring.
Soft close functions by BLUM is
another product that is considered
essential. BLUM is the leader in door
and drawer hardware and are
renowned worldwide; the simple
opening and closing of a drawer
becomes a mesmerising experience.
The function and quality of BLUM
products are designed to inspire
users and their quality is
unquestionable.
Exotic timber veneer is another
favourite product available; this is
a stylish alternative to solid wood.
Brimming with exciting design
possibilities, texture and colour
help to create an inspiring space.
There are hundreds of colour and
texture palettes in the laminate
range to accommodate your
individuality.
Glenn also mentions that there is
no set design with a kitchen; it’s all
about creating a space that works
for you. “Our award winning kitchens
entered into the HIA and CMA awards
have all been
completely different styles, for clients
with totally different needs.
This demonstrates the ability, of our
design team, in offering unique qual-ity
products every time we design and
construct our cabinetry”.
All plans are displayed in a 3d view
on a large TV screen as part of our
process, this allows clients to literally
see their design come to life.

10. Top 5 land buying tips.
Cameron Tweed
-
1.
First of all approach a bank to get an
idea on how much you can borrow for
purchasing your land and your house,
remember to leave some money
aside for landscaping and window
furnishing’s I’m sure Reuben
Beazley Builders will include these in
his quotes if asked.
2.
Get on the phone and contact an
established real estate agent such as
myself to book an appointment and
sit down to go through your criteria
either at your place, on site or at our
office.
3.
Choosing the right area that fits your
budget is key, price points differ
greatly from suburb to suburb there
are some great opportunities if you
look outside the square, remember
Bendigo CBD is only a 10-20 minute
drive from all suburbs.
4.
Leave your details with us, we can
place you on an automatic email
alert so it takes the hassle out of the
search, we don’t like to hassle you
with phone calls every day.
5.
Take your time and make sure the
block is right don’t be pushed into
anything, consult your builder and
agent whenever you have a question
it is our jobs to provide you with the
correct advice.

14. It’s all in the Attic.
-
Reuben Beazley Builder has found a
smart way to use space in your home
that you have
probably never considered
using. Attic conversions in the roof
have become increasingly popular
and an affordable way to create ad-ditional
room. It allows you to use the
area in your roof space that would
have otherwise been wasted. With
some land being smaller this is a
great way to
create extra space without
intruding on your block, allowing for
larger outdoor living or yard areas.
Many of our clients are using this
option and have been greatly pleased
with the outcome.
Decorative custom made
staircases enable easy entry and
create interest. Also the area is fitted
with plaster, flooring and any other
finish you desire to
compliment the rest of the home; it
can also add value for resale. The
process is a simple truss adjustment
and because it is in the truss configu-ration
there is no need to think about
double story elements.
Smart storage is exclusive to Reuben
Beazley Builder clients and another
way to enhance your individuality.

started.
Firstly, your builder likes to meet you.
At this initial consultation Reuben
Beazley Builder can determine what
you would like in your new home and
discuss your options.
Our creative building designer is
engaged and a list of your dreams
are made. The shape and size of
your block is taken into account and
a design will be made to compliment
the surroundings. We custom design
our homes
therefore the service of the building
designer is offered to
everyone. A $1000 deposit is all you
need to get started.
After the plans are drawn and you
are ecstatic with them, the next step
is quoting.
An energy rating is carried out. This
will determine what products are
needed to reach the required 6 stars.
The usual products used are waffle
pod concrete slabs, wool insulation
and window design.
This is all taken into account when
conducting the quote.
Reuben Beazley Builder contacts all
trades and within two to three weeks
we have a completed home price for
you.
This price includes:
- Site costs

- Evaporative cooling

When you are satisfied with the price
we then move onto the HIA approved
contract. Reuben explains the HIA
contract to you so you are aware of
the content of the contract.
Homes will usually take between 6
to 8 months to build depending on
the size of the dwelling. Once the
contract is signed, the application of
insurance and building permits are
submitted. When these items are
approved we can start to build your
home.
Our talented colour consultant will
conduct a selection session,
giving you advice on products such
as carpet, tiles, finishes and most
importantly Colour!! She prepares a
detailed selection report that is
supplied to the relevant trades people
and suppliers.
You will also visit Bourkes Kitchens
to decide the configuration of your
cabinetry. A three dimensional view is
shown to you so you know what your
new cabinetry will look like.
By now your build is under way. You can now sit back and be
excited about your new life.
