Meet Luke, director of Impact Build and the driving force behind every project we take on across the Macedon Ranges.
Nearly 18 years in the industry, starting as an apprentice carpenter right here in Kyneton. What began as Luke Said Carpentry grew into Impact Build as the team, the projects, and the vision for what a builder could offer their clients expanded.
These days Luke's focus is less about being on the tools and more about making sure every client has the right guidance, the right team around them, and the confidence that their project is in good hands from start to finish.

The Lauriston project from the ground up: concrete piers, framing, Pro Clima envelope, insulation, plastering, and Colorbond cladding now nearing completion on the exterior.
A lot of stages between those first poured footings and where it sits today.

Renovations offer a chance to rethink how a space actually functions, not just how it looks. Upstairs at the Piper Street project, Luke and the team are working through the bathroom layout: fixtures, fittings and joinery all being resolved on site before anything gets locked in.
Getting this right at the planning stage means the finished space works as well as it looks.

A new project on Piper Street, one of Kyneton's most significant heritage streetscapes. The bluestone facade, balcony and windows will all be restored like-for-like with the original details, keeping the character of the building intact through every stage of the process.

The presence of the team on site every day is something clients feel throughout a build; questions get answered, decisions get made, and nothing stalls waiting for someone to show up.

A completed bathroom at this Kyneton renovation, and a good indication of how the rest of the home has been finished throughout.
Every material selection here was worked through with the client well before construction began. That's what allows the end result to feel resolved rather than pieced together.

Starting your build journey with a conversation costs nothing. Skipping it can cost significantly more once plans are drawn and pricing doesn't align with budget.
The pre-construction process is one of the most valuable, and most overlooked, parts of any renovation or new build. Get in touch before the plans are finalised, and we can help make sure the direction you're heading is the right one from the start.

The best tool on site right now isn’t in your trailer.
It’s in your pocket.
When Luke from Impact Build (@impactbuild ) was asked his number one go-to tool…
No hesitation.
@wunderbuild .
He said it best:
“When you’re an apprentice, you get excited about buying tools. After that, you get excited about software and apps.”
Because once you move from tradesman to business owner, the real leverage isn’t another drill.
It’s systems. ✅
It’s visibility. ✅
It’s knowing where every job is at, in real time. ✅
WunderBuild isn’t just “office software.”
It’s a tool for the shed, the trailer, and the site.
And when you’re serious about qualifying the right clients and running better projects, the backend matters just as much as the build.

Bigger isn't always better — and budget is actually the strongest argument for building smarter rather than larger. The latest article on the Impact Build Resources page makes the case for why a smaller, well-resolved home will outperform an oversized one every day of the week.

Reframing against the original brickwork at one of our Kyneton heritage projects.
The brickwork, bluestone and the original character remain.
