About Bartley Burns
Toby, our Level 1 Building Certifier, joined Bartley Burns in 2001, shortly after private certification was introduced in Queensland. Emily followed in 2003, with Ben joining the team as Town Planning Manager in 2012.
Together, they have helped shape and grow Bartley Burns into the business it is today. We are proud to have a team that includes many long-standing staff members, along with a strong base of loyal clients — many of whom we have had the privilege of working alongside for well over a decade.
These long-term relationships are an important part of who we are and reflect our commitment to providing reliable, practical and consistent service to our clients.
