Episode 10: Haydn Meets Keiron – From Commercial Scale to Coastal Lifestyle Building
The Road Trip heads back toward the coast, where Haydn meets Keiron in Warilla, a builder who has transitioned from large-scale commercial construction into a more personal, residential-focused business.
Working on a complex coastal renovation, Keiron walks through the realities of building near the ocean, dealing with shallow water tables, salt exposure, and structural upgrades. But beyond the project itself, the conversation explores a bigger shift stepping away from high-value commercial work to reconnect with the purpose of building homes that genuinely impact people’s lives.
