With a decade of experience in the industry, he works closely with a select group of skilled consultants, architects, and subcontractors to ensure that every project we undertake is completed to the highest standards.
His approach is grounded in practicality and trust. He believes in clear communication, understanding the core reasons driving each project, and ensuring our designs and builds reflect these priorities.
I arrived in Australia from Bangladesh at the age of five with my parents. My dad came here on a skills visa and a scholarship to complete his PhD at Sydney University. Everything felt new: a new language, a new culture, a new way of doing things. Classroom conversations moved faster than I could follow at first. I learnt to work harder than the problem in front of me, to prepare more than I thought I needed, and to keep showing up. Those early lessons shaped how I study, how I lead, and how I build.
Learning English was a long run, not a sprint. I focused on small, practical habits that still guide me today: listening carefully, asking clear questions, writing things down, and doing the work twice if that is what it takes to get it right. Step by step, school became a place where effort paid off, and I learnt to set uncompromising goals and use education to achieve them.
I trained as an engineer at UNSW and completed a Master of Project Management at UTS four years later. That foundation gave me both technical knowledge and discipline. Early in my career, I delivered complex live-environment projects, including one that shaped me the most: the T1 International Reclaims Hall refurbishment at Sydney Airport. Covering 8,000 m² across 12 stages, the project was delivered while thousands of passengers moved through daily. I learnt to phase works without disruption, protect safety while maintaining progress, and manage evolving designs with steady communication.
Heritage restoration taught me a different kind of precision. Older buildings do not respond to force or timelines; they demand patience, planning, and respect. On the Adrian William Real Estate project in Newtown, I led the team that took over after an incomplete build. We re-engaged trades, delivered structural upgrades and a lift, and preserved the character of a prominent heritage site. That experience reinforced my belief that careful, methodical work is the shortest path to a clean finish.
I founded Saha Projects to build the way I believe a principal contractor should. Fewer jobs, more care, and absolute clarity in decision-making. I stay closely involved as construction manager from start to finish, working directly with clients, consultants, and trades. Clear conversations, practical solutions, and a visible presence on-site drive everything I do.
“I arrived in Australia from Bangladesh at the age of five, learning early that success comes from persistence and hard work. From delivering complex live-environment projects to restoring heritage sites with precision, I’ve learnt the value of planning, patience and clear communication. At Saha Projects, I apply those same principles for our clients. Every decision has purpose, every challenge is managed methodically, and every project is delivered with care.”
