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 ofAuckland, 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 newmansions on the canals ofSurfers 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 somethingdifferent 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’sfamily, and also bring up theirchildren in a provincial city with easy access to Melbourne and the airport. Wendy has been always involved inoverseeing 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 awardwinning apprentice during his period of training.
He continued to work as acarpenter 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, andcontinues to strengthen thebusiness marketing strategies with further professional development.
Reuben’s brother Aaron who also did his carpentry and joineryapprenticeship 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 isinteresting to note that the nextgeneration 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 highstandard and innovative design. Reuben has a team of specialisedprofessionals 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.
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 practicalaspects and how you work within your kitchen, the other detaileddesign elements will then follow.
There is an endless selection ofproducts, 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 heconsiders 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 greatinvestment” 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 isanother product that is considered essential. BLUM is the leader in door and drawer hardware and arerenowned worldwide; the simple opening and closing of a drawer becomes a mesmerising experience. The function and quality of BLUM products are designed to inspireusers and their quality isunquestionable.
Exotic timber veneer is another favourite product available; this is a stylish alternative to solid wood.Brimming with exciting designpossibilities, texture and colour help to create an inspiring space. There are hundreds of colour and texture palettes in the laminate range to accommodate yourindividuality.
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 beencompletely 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.

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 ReubenBeazley 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.

Our new home
It’s all in the Attic.-
Reuben Beazley Builder has found a smart way to use space in your home that you haveprobably never consideredusing. 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 tocreate extra space withoutintruding 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 madestaircases enable easy entry and create interest. Also the area is fitted with plaster, flooring and any other
finish you desire tocompliment 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.
