Barry Du Bois's Biography
Barry Du Bois is a
specialist in renovations and small extensions. A builder with over 30
year’s industry experience, Barry is best known for his roles on The
Renovators and now The Living Room. A passionate and entertaining
speaker, Barry has many stories and knowledge to share.
Having many
years in the building industry, Barry’s worn many hats beyond the hard
hat. His role as a judge on Network Ten's show, The Renovators allowed
Australia the opportunity to get to know Barry's expertise and loveable
character. His current role on Channel Ten's, The Living Room, sees him
wow audiences each week with his knowledge in design and renovation.
Barry has completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner. In 1984
he completed a Building certificate which led to the creation of his
own building company. His career has also involved a three-year posting
as President of the Master Builders Association for the Eastern Suburbs
of Sydney and he is heavily involved with his local council where he
also stood as an independent councillor.
Early on, Barry specialised
in renovations and small extensions, but by the late eighties he started
buying, renovating and selling small homes and terraces. Being true to
his ambitious nature, Barry Du Bois graduated from renovating terraces
and began to build multi-million dollar properties with water front
playgrounds!
Three years ago, Barry was plucked out of retirement to
be a Judge on The Renovators which then led to his current presenting
role on Network Ten’s The Living Room. He is also a weekly contributor
on 4BC’s Home Improvement Show and is a regular 'DIY tipper' on radio
shows around the country.
Barry loves his new career and is grateful
that he can impart his philosophies and extensive knowledge on
everything to do with property/design/building/renovating/ investing
/craftsmanship etc. Barry is also doing consultancy work with an
investment bank - advising on property and development opportunities.
Barry Du Bois is a humble, compassionate, lively, Aussie bloke who has
weathered more than just bad weather on a building site. And, he’s never
short of advice (and a good story).
