About Sequoia
Danny Abush
Danny founded Sequoia Construction to bring over 15 years of full lifecycle construction experience, and the personal commitment of a boutique builder, directly to his own clients. Hands-on, accessible, and genuinely invested in every project from first conversation to handover day.
Prior to founding Sequoia, Danny spent 11 years as a Project Manager at Join Constructions, one of NSW's most respected boutique residential builders. During that time he worked alongside some of Australia's most accomplished architectural practices, including Tobias Partners, Sam Crawford Architects and Blainey North, on projects ranging from bespoke family homes to complex residential and hospitality builds with values up to $40M.
That experience shaped a direct, hands-on approach to construction management: rigorous in pre-construction, transparent on cost and programme, and clear-eyed about the difference between a well-run site and a reactive one.
Sequoia operates across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and surrounding areas. A small number of projects at a time, Danny personally managing every one. That structural constraint is intentional. It is what makes the service possible.

What We Stand For
Quality
Premium materials, trusted trades and an uncompromising standard of finish, built to last generations, treated like building for our own family. Quality isn't a line item we negotiate away.
Craftsmanship
Every junction, material transition and finish is treated as a chance to elevate the work. We don't look for the fastest close. We look for the best result.
Transparency
Open-book policy from the first meeting. Regular budget and programme updates as a matter of course. Clear variation management from the first change request to the last. No surprises, no shortcuts.
Collaboration
Great buildings are the result of great teams. We invest seriously in relationships with clients, architects, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers, because the quality of the process determines the quality of the result.
Service
Danny personally project manages every build. Clients always have direct access to the decision-maker. Not a site foreman, not an account manager. That's the whole point of being boutique.
How We Build
Pre-Construction
Significant time is invested before a contract is signed. Design intent is resolved, missing scope is identified, and site-specific risks are understood before they become problems at $500 an hour. This is where a good builder earns their fee.
Design Coordination
For clients who don't yet have a designer, we manage the full design journey, engaging the right architect or draftsperson, managing council submissions and the full approval pathway.
Estimating
Detailed, itemised and fully transparent. Every line has a basis. Every variation is documented and agreed before work proceeds. You always know exactly where the budget stands and why.
Delivery
A select number of active projects at any time, Danny directly involved on every one. Professionally managed sites, safe, orderly and productive. Your build gets the attention it deserves.
Communication
Regular budget and programme updates as a matter of course, not as an afterthought. Issues raised and resolved proactively.
Handover
Thorough, documented and followed up. The relationship doesn't end at keys. We stand behind our work and remain genuinely invested in each project after completion.
