BTF Constructions Story
BTF Constructions was founded by experienced builder Brett Filsell and businesswoman, Elise Heyes. With shared vision and values, the company was initially formulated on the philosophical premise that homes are a sense of place, a place of purpose, gathering, connecting, and sharing of experiences with family and friends.
As a family-owned enterprise, Brett and Elise strongly believe that every home owner should be offered that possibility.
Brett and Elise invest in the people they collaborate with. The network of people that Brett and Elise have converged to form the wider collective BTF Constructions team is what makes building with this company special. Their engaging and collaborative approach, and commitment to customer service, has lead BTF Constructions to become one of Adelaide’s most renowned destination companies for custom new home construction.
