Q&A WITH ADAM GIUGNI, DIRECTOR COLDA CONSTRUCTIONS

Adam Giugni working over construction drawings

Adam founded Colda Constructions in 2010 after years of experience in the commercial construction industry. Combining his carpentry background with his tertiary qualification from RMIT Adam has grown the business into a well established and respected company.

Q. HAVE YOU ALWAYS LIVED IN CANBERRA?

ADAM. I was born in Canberra and grew up here but I lived in Melbourne for 5 years. I did my Building Diploma at RMIT in Melbourne.

Q. WHY DID YOU PICK COLDA FOR YOUR BUSINESS NAME?

ADAM. Colda is the name of a small settlement in the town of Sondrio in northern Italy. My father’s family are from there and I’ve always liked the name and connection to my heritage.

Q. HOW DO YOU SAY YOUR SURNAME?

ADAM. It is a tricky one! It’s a bit like the town in NSW, Junee without extending the sound of the e’s too much.

Q. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE BUILDING TREND ATM?

ADAM. Timber is timeless and will always be on trend but I’ve seen more of it being used in commercial spaces to soften concrete, tiling and glass. It looks great and the contrast is interesting.
