Rick Simmons and Scott Somerville have a deep love of building and good design and are passionate about every project they take on.

As co-owner and managing directors of One Up building, Rick and Scott have worked together for over 20 years. They are both licensed builders and carpenters, and the building is in their blood.

Having gained their early experience working alongside their mentors in luxury home construction and management in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, the pair have gone on to build a business with a reputation for exceptional attention to detail, and an ability to realise an architect and client’s vision, without compromising on the design integrity.

Rick’s key role in One Up Building is project management, which involves communicating with clients and stakeholders to ensure the smooth transition between each stage of the project.

Scott is responsible for ensuring each project meets One Up Building’s own rigorous standards for quality and excellence by personally overseeing the selection of all of the materials and inspecting the workmanship at every stage of the project.

Our clientele and reputation have evolved by providing quality, service and reliability. Repeat business and long-standing relationships are testimonials to the dedication we offer.
