Craig Drever

Craig has been a key part of D&C Projects since its establishment in 2009, leading the practice as Director and helping shape its design-led, people-focused team approach. Craig is a Registered Building Design Practitioner and a Chartered member of the BDAA with a background rooted in a passion for designing great buildings, Craig now finds the greatest value in working collaboratively with like-minded people to deliver thoughtful, high-quality outcomes. Craig brings a strong client-focused mindset to every project, with a genuine ability to listen, clearly understand requirements, and apply the drive and focus needed to deliver considered design solutions within tight timeframes. Maintaining project momentum while preserving design intent is central to his approach. Rather than highlighting individual achievements, Craig is most proud of the collective work delivered by the D&C Projects team, reflecting his belief that strong results come from strong collaboration. He is known for thriving in high-pressure environments and is regarded by colleagues as driven, direct, and outcome-focused. Outside of work, Craig enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, who are his greatest priority. Weekends are often reserved for catching up with friends and family over good food and drinks, providing a balance he considers essential. Craig is also committed to supporting the wider community, having contributed design assistance to community-based organisations over the years. Looking ahead, he is motivated by building the strongest possible team in Northern NSW — a group of professionals who are eager to learn, committed to doing their best, and proud of what they deliver together.
