Kenrick success builds fast

Kenrik Constructions was a finalist in the Advanced Manufacturing and Industry and Emerging Business Under Three Years categories at the 2019 Deakin University Geelong Business Awards.

Founded by Rick Kennedy in 2017, Kenrik Constructions specialises in all aspects of residential builds that give local families the chance to thrive in their spaces and our local area.

Rick started a mature aged apprenticeship in 2012 at the age of 27 and was able to work under the guidance of highly respected and experienced local architect and builder Tim Allen, of Tim Allen Design and Construction in Point Lonsdale.

This experience provided Rick with support, inspiration and on the ground working knowledge in a local context, which allowed Rick to finish his second apprenticeship and gain the skills and confidence to start the business he had always dreamed of.

After establishing the business, Rick strove to further improve his industry knowledge and skills by completing two different certificates in IV and Diploma in Building & Construction Management. Additionally, he was successful in his application for builder’s registration in 2018.

“Rick’s personalised, professional and high standard approach allows him to support the clients through the exciting transformation of bringing their vision to reality at every stage,” Kenrik’s award entry says.

“The quality, reliability and professional services of Kenrik Construction are core principles that his growing team consistently demonstrate within each project.

“These are the factors that makes Kenrik Constructions stand out as a highly desirable local business to employ and be employed by.”
