MATT THOMSON
Managing Director & Head of Construction
Matt’s been in the construction world for over two decades. Before Octavian, he ran his own building company, working on everything from single-family homes to specialist care housing. He’s not just familiar with construction — he’s lived it. Every stage, every challenge, every type of project. That hands-on experience is what grounds his approach today.
He’s known for being the guy who’s always on-site when needed, managing crews, solving problems, and keeping things on track. Over the years, Matt’s built a strong network of reliable contractors and suppliers who know he doesn’t settle for cutting corners. He’s a firm believer in doing things the right way, even when it’s not the easy way.
At Octavian, Matt leads all things construction — from finding the right properties to transforming them into safe, high-quality homes. He’s especially focused on developments for supported living and vulnerable adults, where getting the details right really matters. For Matt, it’s about more than building structures — it’s about building homes people can truly live in.
