Meet the Team
Business Leaders
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
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.
This broad project exposure has shaped him into a highly adaptable and knowledgeable professional who understands the demands of diverse sites and clients.
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.
