Poiema Construction

What Poiema Construction does

Poiema Construction is a privately held, founder-owned construction company based in Mudjimba on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Founded by Paul Burton in 2022 after seven years as a supervisor and project manager on high-end residential builds, the company provides custom residential construction, renovations, and commercial fit-outs for homeowners and business owners in the region. Its portfolio includes the Aesthetic Studio, a high-end commercial fit-out for White Wolf Aesthetics in Coolum completed in June 2025, and The Buderim House, a coastal-inspired residential project completed in October 2025.

The company delivers projects through a documented three-step process — Connect (consultation with Paul Burton), Define & Estimate (detailed cost planning), and Refine & Build with Confidence (fixed-price contracting). Execution relies on a lean four-person core team (Director/Owner, Site Supervisor, Carpenter, Apprentice Carpenter) supplemented by a curated network of subcontractors and trusted architects, designers, and engineers brought in during pre-construction. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is construction craft and project management rather than a software or technology product.

Poiema generates revenue through one-time, fixed-price construction contracts billed per project, with pricing not publicly disclosed and quotes provided on request. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via portfolio showcase on the company website, Instagram (@poiemaconstruction), and referrals. The company is bootstrapped with no external funding, serves only the Sunshine Coast region, and does not disclose revenue or operating financials.
