MEET THE TEAM
LEADERSHIP TEAM
Michael began working in the construction industry at just 17 years old, starting alongside Adrian where their strong working relationship and shared values eventually became the foundation of Tandem Projects.
With qualifications including a Certificate III in Carpentry, Certificate IV in Building and Construction, and a Diploma of Building Design, Michael brings both hands-on experience and technical knowledge to every project.
Passionate about quality craftsmanship and thoughtful construction, he takes pride in delivering homes that are built to last and finished to a high standard.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find him tackling projects around his own home (the life of a builder, am I right?!) or spending time with his young family.

DIRECTOR
Adrian Grover
BUILD OPERATIONS LEAD
Bringing in excess of 23 years in the building industry, Adrian brings deep, hands‑on experience and a strong leadership presence to Tandem Projects.
He began his career as an apprentice on small residential sites across the Northern Suburbs of Wollongong, and his career progressed, he moved into both commercial construction and high‑end residential projects, working across all across Sydney.
As a qualified Quantity Surveyor, he brings an additional layer of technical expertise, offering valuable insight into cost management, project planning, and delivering work to an exceptional standard.
Known for his attention to detail, strong work ethic, and consistently high standards, he is a trusted leader who brings stability, skill, and experience to the team.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, following the Sydney Swans, keeping up with Formula 1, walking the dogs, and happily tending to the garden.
Brooke Grover
OPERATIONS & ADMINISTRATION
With a background spanning operations and administration within both the property, and the legal industry, she helps keeps the business running smoothly behind the scenes. Her organised, steady approach supports the team day to day and ensures projects stay on track.
Brooke also brings a creative edge, having studied at the International School of Colour and Design and earning her Certificate IV in Design. Her interest in styling, interior design, and architecture gives her a natural eye for detail and an appreciation for the spaces the team helps bring to life.
Outside of work, Brooke enjoys travel with her family, staying active at the gym, and running socially.
In the office she’s happily kept company by two West Highland Terriers who are very much part of the family.

COMPANY VALUES
TEAMWORK
Every project is delivered by a coordinated team, not individuals working in silos. We rely on clear roles, shared accountability, and supporting each other on site to ensure work is delivered efficiently and to a high standard. Clients benefit from smoother builds, fewer mistakes, and a more organised process.
COMMUNICATION
We keep communication clear, consistent, and honest from start to finish. Clients aren’t left guessing where things are at. We believe good communication prevents delays, reduces stress, and builds trust throughout the entire journey.
PUNCTUALITY
We respect time—ours, our clients’, and our trades’. We show up when we say we will and we structure our projects to maintain momentum. If delays arise, we communicate early and clearly, not after the fact.
QUALITY + ACCURACY
We don’t believe in “good enough.” Every detail matters, from structure through to finishes. We focus on accuracy in execution to reduce rework, avoid defects, and ensure the end result reflects the standard we promise.
NURTURE + GROWTH
We invest in our people, our systems, and our clients’ experience. Whether it’s mentoring trades, improving processes, or guiding clients through decisions, we believe every project should contribute to long-term growth—not just short-term completion.
RESPECT
Respect is non-negotiable—on site, with clients, and with every trade partner. That means protecting homes, communicating properly, and maintaining a professional standard of behaviour at all times.
At Tandem Projects, the quality of your build is only as strong as the team behind it.
That’s why we work with a carefully selected group of trusted partners—trades and suppliers we’ve built long-standing relationships with over many years. These are professionals we rely on for consistency, communication, and craftsmanship on every project.
Why this matters for you?
For you as a client, this means:
Your project is delivered by trades we trust—not trial-and-error selections
Our team already works well together, reducing delays and miscommunication
Every stage of your build is completed to a consistent, high standard
