Our Story
Mick is a family man and Broken Head Building is a family business, working alongside wife Ky and their four children. Mick & Ky relocated from the Sutherland Shire of Sydney over 15 years ago, where Mick was building high-end luxury waterfront homes in Cronulla. They bought a working macadamia farm in the Byron Bay hinterland and made the move. Over the years of renovating it became The Grove, a bespoke wedding venue which was highly publicized for its laid-back Byron aesthetic.
Mick, with wife Ky and their four children, have forever been building and renovating their own homes. They understand how a family uses a home, and what truly makes a house, a home. They have first-hand experience in the need for budget and time management.
