Karen Roebuck (from Kadabra Group – a Victorian-based building company) didn’t start out as a builder. In episode 12 of Building with BuildHer, Karen talks of her entry into the building world from an unlikely origin in accounting and marketing; her career-change prompted by the joy and satisfaction she drew from project managing her own family home. Unbeknownst to her at the time, Daniel (a young carpenter in her employ), would become her business partner creating a partnership lasting now 15 years and spanning high-end Victorian terraces to modern apartments. Join Karen and Building with BuildHer’s Rebeka as they discuss the challenges and experiences Karen has faced, along with their much-needed empathy for clients surveying their works-in-progress.
