DEST INAT ION L I V ING who don’t have anywhere near the level of care or responsibility that you have on a building site. Immediately that accountability is completely disintegrated. And that’s what I found. So within two weeks of that ‘aha’ moment, I notified my business partner that I was going to pack up and I left the business and we set up Destination Living.” The premise of Destination Living was always about having an accountable person in the key roles that are performed from the start to end of design and building of the home.
