Three Sixty Building is rapidly becoming a name synonymous with quality workmanship, professionalism and exceptional client relations. Conceptualised to bring the high expectations of Sydney’s eastern suburbs to their hometown, Mick Fielding and his wife Carmel established Three Sixty Building to provide the mid north coast with a pre-eminent building service.

in the blood Building, business and Coffs Harbour is in the blood of the

dynamic couple behind Three Sixty Building. Mick was born in

Coffs Hospital and is just one of the fi ve builders in his family!

He offi cially began in the industry at 15, and has spent time

with builders between Coffs and the Snowy Mountains, honing

his skills on numerous sites, including working on multi-

million dollar homes designed by architects such as Virginia

Kerridge and Popov Bass. To Three Sixty Building Carmel brings

skills obtained from Law and Social Science degrees and the

successful creation and ownership of the Pilates Power Australia

studios. Her family have been business people in Coffs Harbour

for a number of generations, with her grandfather establishing

Lindsay Brothers Transport with his brother in the 50’s. Between

Mick’s building blood, Carmel’s business blood and a 30 year

residency of the Coffs Coast, Three Sixty Building offers quality

workmanship, local contacts and professionalism second-to-

none.

mick the builder As for talking about himself, Mick is a man of few words,

Carmel however, has plenty! “Mick is the builder you want – he

is straight-talking, positive and effi cient. One of the things I

love about Mick is that he does what he says he is going to do.

Through the careful selection of trades, and his high but not

impossible standards, Mick achieves what he and the client are

aiming for. Building with a smaller builder, where the builder

himself is actually on-site, in amongst it and ‘getting on the

tools’ ensures the absolute highest standard of workmanship

and control of the overall project, and that’s what you have with

Three Sixty Building. Mick really just wants to build beautiful

things. He also works bloody hard!”

fl exibility As a smaller builder, Three Sixty Building is able to offer

fl exibility. Choosing to work from home rather than from an

offi ce, means from the very start Mick is fl exible as to where

meetings with clients take place – he can come to you after

hours. As Mick is on-site day-to-day, you can generally change

plans without penalty or rigmarole. And throughout the entire

build, you are dealing with either Mick or Carmel, the owners,

allowing the building process to be a fl uid, adaptable one when

undertaken with Three Sixty Building.

G & R Robinson: “We fi rst sought quotes from two sizeable, well-reputed local building companies which had demonstrable track records of success with complex, contemporary projects. Both companies perceived that ours would be a tricky and time-intensive task - diffi cult for them to fi t into their schedule in the near future. Our architect then suggested that we contact Mick Fielding from Three Sixty Building - an up and coming, well established young builder who had participated in the original construction of our home. This was the best decision we could have made!

From our fi rst meeting we were impressed by Mick’s under-standing of the complexities of the project and his thoughtful assessment of the issues which could arise during construc-tion. He also proved adept at understanding and interpreting the complex design plans and specifi cations (some builders had encountered diffi culty “getting their heads around” the unusual angles, lines and levels).

From the very commencement of work we knew that we had a highly competent and insightful builder. Mick himself proved to be an outstanding craftsman - meticulous in his work and never accepting less than the very highest qual-ity fi nish from himself or any other tradespersons whom he employed. His oversight of the project was absolute and his liaison and collaboration with other professionals employed on the build was always thoughtful and designed to produce the best outcome for us. Needless to say, Mick’s ingenuity forestalled and/or overcame many hiccups along the way and all deadlines were met in a timely fashion. The project was completed on budget, on time and best of all - to a very high standard of workmanship.

This was not an easy or standard project. It was diffi cult and challenging, using innovative materials. It required insight, technical skill, tenacity, professionalism and a touch of daring! We are highly appreciative of and indebted to Mick, for bring-ing all of these skills to bear on our project.”

working with three sixty design studio 22 on the Coramba Rd project: “design studio 22 have worked with Three Sixty Building on a number of projects including the recent Coramba Rd project featured here. At design studio 22 we pride ourselves on our professionalism and level of customer service and like to

work with equally professional trades and service organisations. Mick and Carmel at Three Sixty Building defi nitely operate to a very high standard in their quality of workmanship and customer service and we are pleased to be associated with them.

The client’s approached Richard Malcolm, principal designer at design studio 22, due to his reputation for solving diffi cult and complex design problems. They wished to create a dual occupancy on quite a diffi cult and sloping site with perceived drainage and sewerage issues. The challenge of creating a stylish, light weight, passive solar home which conformed to all the council requirements, was comfortable to live in and solved all these issues, is exactly what Richard specialises in.

design studio 22 was also engaged to undertake selections and specifi cation for this project and prepared a very detailed folder for the clients and another for Three Sixty Building to use in their quoting and during construction. Colour boards, quotations for PC items and a specifi cation detailing codes, colours etc for everything from outside cladding to door stops along with copies of plans, engineering, energy rating certifi -cates was included to assist in a very smooth building process.

Mick from Three Sixty Building appreciates the value of

accurate and carefully planning and found the design studio 22 Selection Folder a valuable

reference tool during the construction process. It is always a pleasure to work with Mick as he has

a great eye for detail and will always call to verify anything which requires clarifi cation. The beautiful new

Coramba Rd home is a testament to detailed planning and a very high standard of workmanship and quality control which has resulted from employing professionals in their fi elds who work together as a team to do the best they can for their clients.”

awards And yes, Three Sixty Building has recently won awards. In

2011 they were the recipients of a Master Builders Association Award for an elaborate Sapphire Beach extension. The receiving of such recognition by fellow builders for their high standard of workmanship was a coup for Mick and Carmel. They were also the recipients of the 2011 Special Judge’s Award at the Sunnys Business Awards – recognition of a professional, dynamic company with client satisfaction and meticulous work at its core.

the process When it comes to building your new home or investment

property, or undertaking a signifi cant renovation or exten-sion, Three Sixty Building believes in engaging experts. That is why Mick and Carmel stick to what they do best – build-ing – and leave the design process to those most qualifi ed - architects and draftsmen. The advantage of this process is that you, the client, are not restrained by the builder’s ideas and limited design skills. Mick focuses on building, the designer on designing, and you get the very best quality for your money. Whether you come to Three Sixty Building with drawn plans, or just an idea, they can assist you in undertak-ing the required steps to build your desire.

projects Most recently, Three Sixty Building have completed

the Coramba Road dual occupancy – you may even have been one of the commuters who waited very patiently while traffi c was stopped for delivery of materials and the concrete pours! Coramba Road was a complex build on a tight budget with lots of angles, various materials, and diffi cult steep site access. Three Sixty Building also recently completed a Sawtell home for clients left in the lurch by the

collapse of GJ Gardner Coffs Harbour. Currently underway is a large extension and renovation in Middle Boambee which, being constructed in a high bushfi re area, has challenging access and the necessity for additional fi re-control measures. Upcoming for Three Sixty Building is Stage 3 of ongoing works for a Friday Creek couple, which has so far seen their home re-built with timber windows and doors, a conservatory, study, and a master bathroom resplendent with hardwood vanity, French doors, gold fi ttings and a custom designed and constructed pebble fi lled indoor garden.

display home.....or lack thereof Three Sixty Building does not have a display home – they

believe that anyone can put their best into a single project, pick the best of their trades and take their time to get it right...once. The challenge lies in making every single job a display one, within a budget and time-frame determined by the client – and that is what Three Sixty Building does. So while they don’t have a display home, what they do have is a large number of very satisfi ed clients, living in their ‘display homes’, who are more than willing to show you the workmanship and quality of Three Sixty Building.

building with three sixty M & K Craw: “We contacted the usual project builders,

many of whom very quickly brushed us off deeming the land was too steep and the access too diffi cult, others simply would not listen to what we wanted. We were looking for a builder who we could relate to, who would listen to us and who would be willing to work with us.

After meeting with Mick, we initially had concerns over Micks’ young age and the amount of experience he would bring to the job however these were quickly overcome with his professional approach. We were immediately impressed with Micks’ enthusiasm straight off the bat. Mick was there when he said he would be, he listened to our ideas, he kept us involved and contacted us when needed to discuss options and ideas to enhance the project and delivered a quote when he said he would. Others we had to chase.

The end result has far exceeded our expectations - we wouldn’t even contemplate building with anyone other than Three Sixty Building.” continued over
