Who are we?

Arrivain Projects brings together decades of hands-on craftsmanship and skill, delivering exceptional quality building, renovation and carpentry in Sydney.

Arrivain Projects was was founded by Greg Marks, who began his career in Scotland training in the traditional craft of carpentry and joinery working with hand tools.

After relocating to Australia 15 years ago, Greg gained valuable experience on all aspects of building and carpentry working with some of the industry’s most experienced builders in both NSW and QLD. This included extensive remedial work, and identifying and remedying common building defects. This gave Greg extensive knowledge of the common mistakes made in construction and the best practice to avoid them. Greg quickly moved into foreman and site management roles, overseeing projects while still running the day to day.

Greg founded Arrivain Projects in 2016, named after his family home in Scotland and a nod to the origin of his craft. Since then, Arrivain has grown in size and scope of projects, but maintains the same commitment to quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Greg maintains oversight of all Arrivain projects,  and is still often found on the tools whilst empowering his skilled team to deliver projects to high standards.

What our clients say about us.

  • “Greg and the Arrivain Projects team have completed two mid sized projects for us, on our home and rental property including a new kitchen and bathroom, and a balcony redo with waterproofing. Greg and the team came recommended from a friend and has proven to be great - they bring a high-quality work ethic to their work, run on-time and to budget, and keep things super clean. I’d be very happy to recommend them for residential building needs.”

  • "Greg Marks and his staff from Arrivain Projects completed a major renovation at our apartment in Sydney CBD in September 2021. All aspects of the quoting, specification, communication and management of the work proceeded very well and to our entire satisfaction until we were faced with lockdown, which threw a ‘spanner in the works’. I was impressed how quickly Greg pivoted and did his level best to continue the work and compete the project. This was a credit to him and his team. He and his staff are efficient, polite and good communicators and we were very satisfied at the quality of the end product".
