About AVK
Hi, for all of those who don’t know me or do for that matter, I’m Alex and I founded AVK Homes (or Alex Van Kesteren Homes).
I grew up in Gerogery West for a short period of time and then moved into Lavington where I spent most of my child hood. I love to train and compete in Strongman, snowboarding, volleyball, and ballroom dancing. Most of all I love spending time with friends and family.
Ever since I was younger I’ve always wanted to be a carpenter. Driving past building sites and seeing frames being erected was amazing to me.
I started my apprenticeship working locally. Moving to Harrietville for work was a highlight, even though the winter was unforgiving.
Once I finished my training I starting working for builders in the local area. I’ve taken the best practices of many professionals to mould my standards today.
After a few years I started up AVK Homes and have never looked back.
Every aspect of being a builder is challenging and exciting.
From working on heritage listed homes, to farms houses and multistorey homes – each bring challenges different to yesterday.
It’s also an honour for someone to invite you into their home and trust you to work on their pride and joy.
Creating a space that will be used and abused but stands the test of time is remarkable.
Whether you’re short of time, knowledge or don’t even know where to start with your renovation or extension, that’s what I’m here for.
We’ve helped countless people achieve their plans and dreams for their home.
We can help with concept design, planning, approvals, material sourcing, trade allocating and the ever changing regulations that can complicate even the smallest of jobs.
We will do whatever we can to turn your house into a home you love.
When it comes to a renovation or extension of your home, we know one approach doesn’t suit all.
So, we treat every task individually and discuss in as much or little detail as is needed to shape your vision.
Working on all types of homes of all differing sizes and configurations, we have countless approaches to mould your dream home.
With the networks and strong connections I have built in all different trades and professions, my only limitation is your imagination.
Hi, I’m Alex, owner and creator of AVK Homes. I was born and raised in the Albury Wodonga area.
When I’m not creating spaces people will love, I’m spending time with loved ones, lifting heavy things and occasionally eating a whole carrot cake.
I pride myself on integrity, quality and most importantly humour, making people laugh is a highlight of mine.
So if you want help with concept design, planning, approvals, material sourcing, trade allocating and the ever changing regulations that can complicate even the smallest of jobs, please get in touch. I’d love to see how we can help you.
