Meet the team
“We have a great team – and we have a lot of fun. As a result, we produce good work and have happy clients.”
– Shane Julian, Team Leader
Jimmy Ryan
Jimmy has been building for 19+ years since starting his career in a residential maintenance and building company. He spent the larger part of his building career on residential and high-end architectural builds, and brings a keen attention for detail, and a depth of flavour and experience to each build site. When he’s not on the tools you’ll find Jimmy with the family or getting into the mountains for some epic trail running.
Shane Julian
Shane is Jimmy’s right hand man and has been with the Summit team for over three years. His 12 years in building has focused on residential renovations and recladding. Shane’s time off the build site is spent with his partner and two girls, and getting away from the city and out the coast.
Joel Buttle
Along with his eight years’ experience in new builds and major renovations, Joel brings some specialist skills and building history to the team. Joel is a skilled boat builder and our glazing professional, so you’ll see him at every bathroom and kitchen project. When he’s not on site he’s rock wall climbing our sailing.
Kash Harvey
Kash is an admin specialist and with 15 years in administration and HR roles. She keeps the Summit Property back office running a tight ship and team on task. Kash is kept busy with her four year old daughter along with her hobbies of cooking, candle-making and travelling (although more local these days).
Haven Dixon
Every team needs a Haven - you’ll see him sweeping the site, keeping the team and the clients’ surroundings clean and safe, and absorbing as much knowledge and hands-on skills he can from the guys. Prior to his apprenticeship, Haven was coaching basketball down at the local high school.
Quality team. Quality job. Every time.
“I pride my team on never cutting corners. There’s no compromises on the quality of our work, or the safety of the guys on site. We all go home to our families at the end of each day.”
– Jimmy Ryan, Owner
