About CWD

First established by Rod Betts in July 2008 as Commercial Windows & Doors, we are an independent, Tasmanian owned and operated company.

Over the following 10 years, Rod and our team successfully completed many significant award-winning projects throughout southern Tasmania

In 2018, we proudly included Leigh Mitchell as an ownership partner & company director, after he diligently ascended the ranks from an apprenticeship that he commenced in 2009.

In 2019 Phil Riley, formerly of Fairbrother Construction, joined CWD as an ownership partner and company director, providing a diverse skill-set and knowledge base to the company.

Over this time, CWD has grown to become an Employer of Choice in the Hobart construction sector with over 15 full-time employees and a wider team of associated specialist sub-contractors.
