A History of Principle and Fairness

Tailor-Made Building Services was founded in 2011 by Ray Somerville after years of working for Darwin construction companies. He found that the professional service of building had been turned into a money-orientated venture and away from the core principles of quality and fairness. A direction that Ray Somerville believed should not continue, he began Tailor-made Building Services in order to offer a true customer-centred service.

A Professional & Customer-Centric Approach

Since its inception, Tailor-Made Building Services has enacted these traditional building principles to provide the client with an open and honest service. To date these principles have forged a reputation for Tailor-made Building Services as a reliable and trustworthy company who works in the best interest of their client and subcontractors.
Tailor-Made Building Services forged a working partnership dedicated to traditional work principles. The core of TMBS and the qualities cover all aspects of the construction industry. With us, we have a trusted and reliable team of subcontractors for a lot of our projects and highly recommend the quality that they deliver. It is with this combined teamwork that allows Tailor-Made Building Services to deliver superb quality to our clients, from design to delivery.

With the business relocation to South - East Queenslan the NT Residential Building License (NT 131205 CU) has been allowed to lapse and this has been replaced with the QBCC Residential Builders No. 15254107.

Along with being a qualified Architectural Design Draftsman, Ray combines these skills with a professional career in the building industry that spans over 40 years and across four states of Australia.

Project and Site Management are now the forte for TMBS and projects have commenced to be completed with the same level of professionalism and client satisfaction.
