Steve Burke is a second-generation builder, founding his building company Amerex Renovations and Additions in 1987. Amerex was created because he could see a simple gap in the market: for a building company that homeowners could trust to do a good job and not rip them off. With more than 40 years’ experience in the building industry, Steve feels it’s now time to share the knowledge he has painstakingly gained and to help more people get the home they dream of: trouble-free, on time and on budget. Suzanne Burke has tertiary qualifications in business and professional writing. She joined forces with Steve at Amerex in 2010 and after working within the construction industry for just two years, was awarded the HIA (Housing Industry Association) Western Australian Business Partner of the Year and the following year won at the national level.
