Zakery Johnson

Owner/Director/Master Builder

After starting his carpentry apprenticeship in January 2007. He immediately fell in love with the trade and all the opportunities to build and create. He gained a lot of experience in all aspects of the building trades including supervising architectural custom home builds and small commercial projects. After recognising a gap in the industry with a lot of builders lacking in customer focus during projects that closely involve the homeowner, Zak found himself with an opportunity to create something truly unique. With a passion to deliver high quality projects and improve the lifestyles for South Australian homeowners, he started ZJ Building in 2015 and has been transforming homes ever since. With a strong drive for self improvement and professional development, Zak continues to evolve and improve the company. From building strong systems and processes for our customers benefit to proudly running a virtually paperless office, the future of ZJ Building is always looking bright.
