Our History
Salvatore Minniti, known by family as Sam, arrived in Australia in 1961, intending on building a better life for his wife, Francesca, and their future family. After many years working in the building industry around Perth, Sam formed Minniti & Son in 1997 – a building company based on the foundations of Italian values. Sam would manage, supervise, estimate, schedule and carry out all financial accounts, all himself from his home office until 1998. He grew this business over the years by building the finest quality homes and developments in Perth and surrounding areas.
Domenic Minniti grew up in the family business and Salvatore encouraged his son to learn all the fine details of running a successful luxury home building company from a very young age. At the age of 15, he began labouring for his dad on site, learning each part of the business. From meetings with customers to laying foundations and putting the final touches on the landscaping, Domenic learned from his father all the intricacies of building the perfect home, supporting his trades and how to succeed in the Perth building industry – something he prides himself on today. Once Domenic received his builder’s license, he began concreting alongside his good friend Mark Audino, soon to be his brother-in-law.
Domenic supervised his first job at the age of 17. His first job was to oversee the completion of a commercial space, fitted for a car dealership. As Domenic increased in experience, the jobs he supervised became increasingly more complex as his experience and expertise broadened. Dom and his father built large unit developments in this time, ranging from 4 units to entire streets!
Building such large projects was a bold move, but ultimately resulted in designs that pushed the abilities of both Salvatore and Domenic and allowed them to become the confident designers with expert intuition that they are today.
Today, with Domenic as the Director of Minniti and Son and with 3 generations of Minniti all working within the company to honour the history of the brand – creating intelligently designed, innovative and quality homes founded in strong Italian values. The heart of the business remains true, to create quality custom homes for families to love for generations to come.
