About CDF Builders

Chris Del Favero now lives in Brisbane Queensland and has 40 years’ experience in the building and construction industry. He holds trade qualifications and an Executive Master’s Degree in Business Administration from RMIT. This has allowed him to develop the skills and knowledge to provide on-site advice and assessment – as well as more strategic Senior Project and Construction Management. In 2022 he decided to use his extensive experience to form CDF Builders. Chris believes in helping clients big and small to reach their goals.

“We recently completed a bedroom, study, bathroom and garage extension using Chris Del Favero (CDF Builders). Chris gave us so much confidence in the process, he really helped guide us as novice renovators with what was possible and how to solve all the tricky problems building onto an existing building. I was very upfront with what our budget was, and Chris did his utmost to stick within our budget limit, working creatively on other solutions to keep the finances in check. The overall product is a high quality extension that we are extremely happy with. Chris scheduled all the trades so that it was completed well inside the estimated time, there was only a couple of days where someone wasn’t onsite. Amazing! Chris was easy to communicate with and managed the project seamlessly. Couldn’t be happier as first time renovators!”

If you’re looking for a Builder that goes beyond surface-level conversations and dives deep into the heart of what you are trying to achieve, then you have to meet with Chris Del Favero. We were new to renovations, on a fixed budget and had no understanding of actual building requirements. Chris gave us so much advice and guidance through the design phase, helped us choose materials in budget, and prepared us for the building phase. He worked tirelessly during the renovation, scheduling each step to minimise lost time and inconvenience. He brought on other trades that were trustworthy and skilled. As the build was during COVID, he managed the OHAS of the site and adapted to the changing construction environment. Despite a career in multi-million dollar projects, Chris’s professionalism and skills on our small renovation made us feel like we were just as important to him. We were that impressed, that we asked him to manage repairs to our rental property interstate. We would not buy, build or renovate without first contacting Chris Del Favero and CDF Builders.
