It is with great sadness that we said farewell our dear friend and colleague Kalvin Fleischer in Dec 2023.
We are truly grateful for the kind, calming presence and the vast knowledge and experience Kal shared with the many clients, builders, consultants and those he worked alongside.
Kal started at Slap as a teenager in 1989, and apart from a short break in the early days caused by an economic downturn, he worked here ever since spaning a 30+ year career at Slap. The respect he gained from people in the building industry was enormous. It was his sense of fairness, not softness that stood him in high regard. He knew his stuff, he was practical and didn’t overlook details that were poorly executed, but he was always fair minded and was solutions focused. More than that,
he was Slap’s moral compass, and was the calming influence maintaining a steady ship.
We miss him dearly.
Our deepest condolences go out to Kals family and loved ones during this sad time.
Canal House Coming Soon
We are excited to be working on this house located in Paynesville on the canals. As part of our service to our clients, we try to give them give a good idea of what the final product will be. We have been using some new visualisation software and have produced this video as well as some still images. It can help give a better understanding of the volumes as well as the feel of the design.
