G’day, I’m Harley Orchard

Founder and Director of Orchard Building.

I'm a licensed builder with more than 15 years of experience, based in Brighton, SA and ready to bring your dream space to life. I am passionate about quality craftsmanship that ensures every detail is meticulously executed, creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Born and raised in country Victoria (and a proud Geelong Cats supporter), I honed my craft in a small business environment, where I acquired a versatile skill set.

After completing my apprenticeship and working full-time in country Victoria, I sought warmer weather in Queensland. Here I progressed as a supervisor and gained high end building and renovation experience with award winning builders in Brisbane. I continued developing and diversify my expertise as a supervisor and assessor, overseeing building insurance claims.

Before settling down in Adelaide to start a family, my partner and I travelled Australia, taking the 'long way home'. Through some twists of fate, we ended up co-hosting a travel show on the 4WD 24/7 YouTube channel, Offgrid, where we explored remote locations around Australia in our caravan. This once in a life time experience deepened my appreciation for diverse architectural styles and the artistry of creating spaces that narrate their own unique stories.

After supervising for a local Adelaide building business for over a year, I knew it was time to pursue my dream and start my own business. I pride myself on producing high quality work, an ethos instilled in me by my first supervisor during my apprenticeship.

Every project is a new chapter, and I believe in creating spaces where you can write your own story. I value open communication and transparency, ensuring you feel confident and excited throughout the entire process. I'm thrilled to be part of your journey to help you redefine your living space into something truly amazing.

Your home, your story, crafted just the way you envision it.
