Dani’s been fascinated by property since she was 12, when she told her Mum that she wanted to buy a house for herself! So Real Estate was the obvious choice after school, and she excelled. After a few years, she jumped when an opportunity to meet with Lowe Design & Build arose, because as a born and bred Bayside girl, she already knew Lowe’s reputation and loved their designs.
Daniela brings her energetic love of her work with her every day, and gets a real buzz from helping people understand the Lowe development model – “I love the model, especially the opportunities that Pre-sale can bring. When people realise their dream of a brand new home is more attainable then they initially thought, it’s a really exciting conversation to be a part of!”
Dani and her fiancée love travelling, new experiences and a good party, but they are also real Bay people so enjoy nothing more than taking Chip, their Golden Retriever, for a wind-down walk on the beach after work.

Troy Nelson
Property Sales Consultant
Troy started his working life on top of the world! Roof tiling was his first job, before he moved from Sydney to Melbourne to begin his career in Real Estate. Over the years, Troy has gained experience in all facets of real estate, and has also built a reputation for excellence and authenticity. It’s not many Real Estate agents who repeatedly earn 5 Star reviews from both Vendors and Buyers!
At just the right time in Lowe Design & Build’s development, Troy became intrigued with our innovative development model. Today, he is an integral member of the Lowe team and helps put Homeowners who love where they live but need to modernise the quality and livability of their homes together with Buyers who want to access design excellence in otherwise unachievable locations! Those are the results that put him on top of the world nowadays! That, and golf of course!

Simon Ward
Design Manager
Simon has been with Lowe Design & Build for 12 years, and started as a Drafty but now leads a team of over a dozen professionals covering Drafting, Design, Planning, Contracts and Estimating!
How did this happen? Well Simon says it’s because he found great mentors, room to grow, continuing opportunities to learn and a product that he loves. And it’s also because Simon insists on getting the quality and detail exactly right. From concept design to handover, Simon and his team focus closely on what will work best for their clients, and the results speak for themselves in every Lowe home.
When he’s not working, Simon is usually biking, running, playing hockey or taking his girls camping or to the beach with his wife Caroline. And at home, their two little girls, their Labrador and their cat are just perfect for creating enough mess to balance out all of that daily attention to detail!
Andrew Cavallin
Building Manager
Andrew grew up in the country and applies a practical and straight-forward approach to his successful career in building. After 14 years with Lowe Design & Build, he now manages the whole delivery end of our business – from procurement to completion.
Andrew leads a highly competent and loyal team who share his work ethic, values and standards. Client satisfaction has always been Andrew’s greatest driver, and he loves nothing more than knowing his team has “nailed the brief” – that Lowe Design & Build have delivered the home that our clients have dreamed of and now love. So if quality or professionalism ever start to slip, everyone knows they will soon be getting a call from Andrew!
But building isn’t Andrew’s only interest – he also loves being a racehorse owner and regularly heads off with his partner Luisa to watch one of their horses run and then either celebrate (or commiserate) with a good meal afterwards.
Reagan Ashmore
Architectural Designer
Reagan joined Lowe Design & Build because he wanted to see his creative designs put into effect as was intended. He knew that only a “full service” business providing in-house planning, design and construction can fully control the integrity of design. Six years on and Reagan is still enjoying seeing his design work come to life as intended.
With an Advanced Diploma of Building Design and Bachelor Degree in Architecture, Reagan’s a real team player. Indeed, he feels that Lowe’s highly collaborative approach, where each team member protects both the design aspirations and the budget, provides an essential point of difference in delivering the best result for our clients.
Creating solutions where results are not compromised takes concentration and focus, but once at home he and his wife Lauren love heading for the beach, for a run or down to the park with their two highly active preschoolers! Such a great way to clear your mind!
Michael D’Amelio
Finance Manager
Michael’s professional career in accounting and finance has always been focused on property, real estate and building, and this extensive experience and familiarity with our sector means everyone dealing with him quickly develop confidence and trust in his professional advice.
He is a very positive person with a default attitude of “We can probably do it”. He energetically digs in and looks at things from all angles, and has built a reputation for making well-considered assessments and communicating them well. This, combined with his professional accountancy education and experience, make him a highly valued member of the Lowe Design & Build team.
Michael has always lived a full life – university, world travel adventures and then representing Australia for several years in basketball, and now wrangling his two very active children. Originally from Bairnsdale, he and his family are now firmly planted in Bayside!
