Background

About James Lawrence

With over 16 years of experience in building and architectural design, I have developed extensive expertise in the timber and architectural concrete industries. My career has allowed me to collaborate with some of Melbourne's largest builders, architects, and designers, contributing to high-profile projects such as the M Pavilion and the Jewish Holocaust Museum renovation. In these roles, I played a pivotal part in the design, application, and supply of timber products. With Major Timber I was lead in large-scale independent building projects across suburban Melbourne, including managing the development of the first 100 homes for Glenvill's inner-city estate in Abbotsford. My tenure at Metcash with Mitre10’s flagship store in Glen Iris (Taits Tooronga) solidified my reputation as a go-to resource for timber expertise and builder support. I was recognized for my ability to deliver tailored solutions to meet complex needs. Now as the Internal Sales and Customer Service Manager at Tilling Timber, I continue to fuel my passion for innovation, customer service, and building meaningful partnerships that drive success. Beyond my professional projects, I renovated my own 1970s red brick Art Deco duplex, carefully preserving its heritage features while seamlessly integrating modern design elements.
