Lachlan McDonald
Hi, I’m Lachlan, the Director of Caton Constructions.
Growing up in the Sutherland Shire, I developed a love for the ocean very early. In my youth, I was a surf lifesaver at Elouera Surf Club and tried my hand at both board and swim competitions, but I really loved competing in the IRBs. My love of the ocean has continued, and while I still enjoy the odd surf, my days by the water are now spent with my wife, Rebecca, and our dog, Val. We enjoy time on our boat, fishing, relaxing on the sand, or enjoying our newest water hobby — stand-up paddleboarding.
After finishing Year 12 at Trinity Grammar School, I undertook my apprenticeship through the Master Builders Association and was indentured with Gledhill Constructions, where I honed my skills on projects ranging from $500k to $15m, including several award-winning builds. After completing a Certificate III in Carpentry and Joinery in 2009 and a Certificate IV in Building and Construction in 2011, I furthered my education by completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (Built Environment) in 2014. Always looking to develop my skills further, I also completed a Graduate Certificate in Building Surveying with Distinction in 2024.
Director
From a work perspective, I’m very hands-on and involved throughout the entire process, from early planning and approvals through to construction and handover. At Caton Constructions, we pride ourselves on clear and honest communication, accountability at every turn, and an unwavering commitment to high-quality craftsmanship. I understand that undertaking a residential construction project is a significant journey, whether it’s a family home or a dual occupancy development, and my role is to make that process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Our systems — including weekly client updates, regular safety inspections, and rigorous quality control backed by a comprehensive checklist — are designed to keep clients informed, confident, and in control at every stage. For me, it’s not just about building homes; it’s about building trust and delivering an experience people feel genuinely good about from start to finish.
Sandy
Hi, I’m Sandy, and I am a Site Supervisor for Caton Constructions. I’m responsible for overseeing day-to-day site operations and making sure each project runs smoothly, safely, and to a high standard.
I work closely with Lachlan, our trades, and suppliers to ensure quality workmanship, clear communication, and strong site discipline throughout the build. My focus is on keeping projects organised, maintaining timelines, and ensuring every detail is delivered as intended on site.
Outside of work I enjoy time with my family and being outdoors.

Helen
Hi, I’m Helen, and I manage accounts at Caton Constructions, helping ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
I take pride in being organised, accurate, and reliable, and I work closely with the team to support the financial side of each project. My role helps keep processes clear and efficient for both our clients and our suppliers.
In my personal life I enjoy staying active, weekends away at our farm, travelling and time spent with my children and grand-children.
Accounts
Hi, I’m Angelica. I look after marketing at Caton Constructions, focusing on the brand, website, and social media, and helping shape how Caton shows up online.
I love the creative side of marketing, especially creating content, bringing ideas to life and finding ways to communicate clearly while staying true to the Caton brand.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me on the tennis court. I enjoy playing socially with friends and competing in local tournaments. I also love travelling, trying new restaurants, spending quality time with family and friends, and relaxing at home with my black cat, Choco.

Lordie
Hi, I'm Lordie, and I work as the Estimator at Caton Constructions, supporting the team during the pre-construction stage of each project.
I enjoy working through project documentation, preparing estimates and helping ensure every build is carefully planned before construction begins. I take pride in being organised, detail-oriented and delivering accurate information that helps projects get off to the best possible start.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, keeping active through regular workouts, and unwinding with video games. I also love travelling, exploring new places and discovering great food whenever I get the chance.
