ROBERT ENSBEY – PROFILE
Robert Ensbey — Builder, Designer
“I pride myself looking after our precious natural and living environments by carefully selecting materials. Timbers are chosen from sustainable sources where possible. Crafting recycled timbers afford a deep remedial process that is rewarded with the look and feel of aged woods of outstanding beauty and durability. Often these recycled elements are combined with stone and glass to a composition of grace and longevity, time worn and timeless.”
With over 40 years of hands-on experience, Robert brings a unique blend of technical mastery, aesthetic instinct, and practical knowledge to every project he engages with.
As a young apprentice, Robert was already fine-tuning his craftmanship and at just 13, he experimented with his own surfboard range while gaining competence in their physics, form and flow.
Robert offers clear, tailored advice across a wide range of budgets, styles and practical applications.
His career spans four decades primarily within the building industry:
- 40+ years of experience, including architectural drafting and building design
- Extensive success gaining approvals for DA’s, CC’s, and CD’s via the NSW Planning Portal, across councils from Pittwater and Warringah to Byron Shire and Brisbane
- 12 years as foreman at Bayview Gardens Retirement Village
- High-rise construction experience as a formwork carpenter
- Proven ability to critically review engineering designs and deliver practical, elegant solutions
- Comprehensive project management, liaising with clients, council assessors, town planners, certifiers, engineers, surveyors, fire consultants, and specialists in glazing, lifts, acoustic design, smart wiring, and more
- High-profile shopfitting projects with accreditations from Westfield, AMP, Scentre Group, and Vicinity Centres — including Brookvale Mall, Warriewood Square, Hornsby, Randwick, Ashfield, Miranda, and Taren Point
Robert continues to deliver residential builds and renovations — from bathrooms to kitchens — with integrity, reliability, and without compromising quality. His work doesn’t just meet standards; it exceeds them. Every structure is built to last and every finish crafted with love and care. No shortcuts. No call-backs. Just high-quality outcomes that maximise his clients’ investment in durability and design.
