Episode 2: Scott Salisbury’s Path to Success in Construction and Football

Welcome to episode 2 of Owner Insights, where James Orchard sits down with a true South Australian icon – Scott Salisbury. Known for his remarkable journey from a young carpenter and semi-professional footballer to creating South Australia’s most awarded custom home builder, Scott’s story is one of resilience, hard work, and staying true to a core principle his father instilled in him at 17: “just do it right the first time.”

In this episode, Scott shares the pivotal moment he finally secured his spot with Glenelg Football Club after three years of being rejected – a turning point he describes as “the best thing that’s happened in his career.”  With over 200 games played, including representing South Australia and earning All Australian Selection, his story is a testament to the power of perseverance.

As the head of Scott Salisbury Group, overseeing over 200 homes currently under construction, Scott also discusses how he’d fix Australia’s current housing crisis. Tune in for a conversation that blends personal insights and professional wisdom from one of South Australia’s best.
