The Story Behind Axiom Construction Group
There’s a story behind our company that has meaning and it’s probably the reason why we are successful today. Before we created Axiom Construction Group we took time to consider our core values and how we wanted to be perceived in the market. It was important for us to break the preconception that builders are only in the game to make a “quick buck”. That is the opposite of what we are about!
This is how our company name was born. Axiom means truth and it is important to us to maintain our honesty and integrity with everyone we do business with. That’s with everyone from our loyal clients to our trusted tradies and our amazing suppliers. We are proud of what we achieve and we are determined to do things right!
We’ve travelled from New Zealand to Australia, from country towns to inner metropolitan areas, working on projects of all sizes.

Claire Perham
Claire Perham has been in the building industry in some capacity for most of her life. Even as a child, she often found herself on job sites! With her Dad being a builder, some might say Claire knows the industry right down to her bones.
She designs buildings; organising the process (including ‘subbies’) and specifies and purchases products & finishes. That’s alongside running the business in the background and spearheading further business development.
Claire is usually the person clients will talk to from the outset and she’s always there as a guide throughout the entire build process. She’s qualified in interior design, holding a Diploma in Interior Design and Decorating, and is able to offer full home interior design to clients as the perfect complement to their new build, renovation or extension. She also holds a Cert IV in Building and Construction and is a QBCC Licensed Builder.
When she’s off-the-clock, Claire enjoys going to the gym, plays netball socially and loves to whip up a storm in the kitchen — preparing healthy meals as well as baking delicious celebratory cakes!

Jay Perham
Jay Perham completed his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner back in 1994. He developed his skills and furthered his involvement in the construction industry via a Diploma in Building and Construction (DipBldConst) and by becoming a Chartered Building Professional member of the Australian Institute of Building (MAIB).
Jay worked across Australia and New Zealand after contracting to a host of other companies. After this, he branched out in his own company as Director/GM/Commercial Construction Manager of Axiom Construction Group.
Jay is a country boy at heart and is passionate about the construction industry. He welcomes projects that are challenging or have been placed in the too-hard-basket by many other contractors and feel he makes a real difference there.
“I really enjoy working with clients who are feeling overwhelmed by their projects and we come in and fix their issues and deliver the project above and beyond their expectations.” When he can manage it, this busy business owner/operator takes time out in nature, especially enjoying the opportunity to go camping in the outback.
