From Scotland to South Australia! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿➡️🇦🇺
When Adelaide’s Kemp Carpenters spent three years searching for qualified tradespeople, Master Builders SA’s BuildConnect program found the perfect fit in Scottish carpenter David Scott.

Today, David is thriving in Adelaide, delivering top-tier carpentry, mentoring local apprentices, and embracing the local lifestyle.

His advice to anyone considering the leap?
"Just go for it. Don’t worry too much about everything - it will work out in the long run. If you're serious enough, people will help you get to where you want to go."
