Director & Owner

When others ask, “Are we there yet?”, Karl asks “Where to next?”

With a motto of building for the future, Karl draws on more than 30 years of building and construction experience matched with a proven ability to complete projects on time and within budget.

Karl established successful building company, WABi Constructions, in 1996 and Eco Beach Resort in Broome, Western Australia, where he commenced working on the prototype for the WABi villa, Eco Tents, facility buildings and gazebos. WABi Constructions has since delivered over 200 projects in Australia and globally, and has evolved to deliver the WABi Systems construction methodology as part of the WABi Group.

For Karl, designing WABi Systems was all about understanding his clients’ needs from their unique perspective. He recognised the need for a simpler, stronger, and smarter approach to construction resulting in WABi Systems adapting to meet the demands of building in some of the world’s most remote locations and challenging terrains.
