George Kovatch
George Kovatch is a VBA registered Commercial and Domestic Builder with 40 years of experience in the industry. His generous skillset in building, design and construction is highly sought-after in the profession.
Prior to joining Metrobuild in 2016, George was a Project and Construction Manager at Banco Group for 21 years.
George holds a Certificate of Technology and began his career in 1978 as an Architectural Draftsman. He then progressed to not only building, but successfully delivering a multitude of property asset classes including single-dwelling family homes, multi-dwelling townhouses, high-end luxury apartments, large housing estates, multi-storey commercial buildings (including major hotels), high-profile office towers, industrial warehouses and on Greenfield sites.
George’s impressive background and diversity of experience enables him to reliably deliver projects on time and on budget, which is crucial to all key stakeholders. At Metrobuild, George works with architects, consultants, contractors and clients before, during and after construction to assist in refining design details and building processes. He is an expert on Excel, creating intricate feasibility studies, reliable programs and realistic budgets.
George also oversees the entire build stage from site acquisition through to client handover for all projects, and liaises closely with project and site management on a daily basis. George enjoys working in a team to achieve the finest possible result, and his architectural design background has equipped him with superb sketching skills. His famous phrase, “let me do a quick sketch”, is always well received and appreciated when problem-solving or explaining a concept to the team.
When George is not behind his desk or on-site, he enjoys to stimulate his mind by watching a good murder mystery, working on his green thumb by getting his hands dirty in the garden, reliving his musician days as a lead guitarist by strumming his guitar, and unwinding with a good glass of red wine.
