Nathan Johns - finalist for Young Builder of the Year

We have some exciting news — Nathan has been announced as a finalist for the prestigious Master Builders, Young Builder of the Year Award.

Nathan is an incredibly humble human who doesn’t like to toot his own horn (not applicable to fishing or basketball of course) but this achievement is wonderful recognition of the tireless effort he puts into running Forest to Coast Homes, his dedication to creating a better building industry and providing our clients with the best possible experience he can.

The award celebrates the exceptional achievements of builders under 40 who are shaping the future of our industry. It highlights not only technical skill and craftsmanship, but also leadership, business excellence, and a commitment to raising standards across the building and construction sector.
