Meet Sam Codlin, Our Founder

Originally from the UK, Sam has called Australia home for the past 14 years and brings 18 years of experience in the building industry to Codlin Carpentry.

While experience and workmanship are important, Sam believes a successful renovation is just as much about the relationship with the people you're building for.

Renovating or extending a home is a big decision. Clients are investing in the place they live, often while juggling family, work and everyday life around the project. Sam understands that people want more than someone who can simply do the work — they want a builder who listens, communicates clearly and genuinely cares about getting the right result for their home.

That starts with understanding the client.

Some people arrive with detailed plans and know exactly what they want. Others simply know their home isn't working for them anymore and need help figuring out what's possible. Sam enjoys both.

His strength in renovations comes from listening first, then problem solving. Every existing home is different and every client has different priorities, so there isn't always one obvious answer. Sam takes the time to understand how people use their home, what they want to change and what's most important to them before working through the best approach.

For Sam, the best projects aren't simply the ones that look great when they're finished. They're the ones where the client walks into the completed space and feels like their home finally works the way they wanted it to.

Codlin Carpentry

Codlin Carpentry was built around a simple idea: do quality work, treat people properly and build relationships along the way.

Based on the Northern Gold Coast, Codlin works with homeowners throughout Runaway Bay, Hope Island, Paradise Point, Coombabah and surrounding areas, specialising in substantial deck projects, home renovations, extensions and custom residential work.


The business deliberately maintains a personal approach.

From the first conversation through to the final stages of a project, clients know who they're dealing with and are encouraged to ask questions, talk through ideas and be involved in the process.


Building work can sometimes feel overwhelming from the outside, particularly if you've never renovated before. Part of Codlin's job is to make that process easier to understand — explaining what needs to happen, working through decisions together and keeping communication open as the project progresses.

Our Ethos

Your Home, Your Project

Building Spaces People Love Living In

Your Home, Your Project

No two clients want exactly the same thing from their home.

One family might want a large deck where everyone can come together on weekends. Another might need more room as their family grows. Someone else may have bought an older property they love but need help transforming it into something that suits the way they live today.

That's why Codlin doesn't approach renovations with a one-size-fits-all mindset.

The team takes the time to understand how you live now, what isn't working and what you'd like your home to become.

From there, Sam's renovation and problem-solving experience comes into play — finding practical ways to work with the existing property and achieve the best possible result within the project.

Communication Matters

Your Home, Your Project

A great finished project matters, but so does the experience of getting there.

Having building work happening around your home requires trust. You need to feel comfortable raising a question, changing your mind about a detail or simply asking what's happening next.

Codlin places a strong emphasis on being approachable, straightforward and easy to communicate with throughout the project.

There will always be decisions to make during a renovation, and existing homes can occasionally reveal surprises once work begins. When that happens, the approach is simple: explain what's been found, talk through the options and work together on the right solution.

No unnecessary building jargon. No leaving clients wondering what's going on.

Just good communication and a shared focus on getting the project right.

Codlin specialises in large deck builds, full home renovations and extensions, as well as kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor living spaces and custom joinery.

But ultimately, the work isn't really about decks, walls or cabinetry.

It's about the people who are going to use those spaces.

It's about creating the deck where friends and family gather, the kitchen everyone naturally ends up standing around, the extension that gives a growing family room to breathe, or the renovation that makes someone fall in love with their home again.

That's the part of the job Codlin values most.

Let's Start With a Conversation

You don't need to know every detail before contacting Codlin.

If you've been thinking about a deck, extension or renovation in Runaway Bay, Hope Island, Paradise Point, Coombabah or the Northern Gold Coast, start by telling us what you'd like to change.

Sam will listen to what you're trying to achieve, take a look at the property and help work through the best way to move forward.
