Founder | Registered Building Surveyor (Unlimited)
1988–2024
Justin Saville was the visionary founder of Saville & Co and a Registered Building Surveyor (Unlimited) with the Victorian Building Authority. With over 17 years of experience in building surveying and a foundational background in structural engineering and architectural design, Justin’s expertise and leadership left a lasting impact on the construction industry and everyone fortunate enough to work with him.
Justin began his career at one of Australia’s largest national building surveying firms, where he quickly rose through the ranks. His deep technical knowledge and personable approach allowed him to bridge the needs of architects, engineers, developers, and regulatory authorities with ease and integrity. He believed that effective outcomes stemmed from strong relationships, clear communication and staying ahead of industry and legislative changes, a philosophy that still guides our firm today.
He held a Graduate Certificate in Performance-Based Building and Fire Codes, a Bachelor of Technology (Building Surveying) and a Diploma of Building Design and Technology. Justin was also a Registered Building Practitioner and a member of both the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS) and the Property Council of Australia.
Justin passed away in 2024 following a short but courageous battle with cancer. His strength, commitment to excellence and dedication to his clients continue to shape our identity. He built Saville & Co with the belief that a building surveying firm could be both technically rigorous and deeply human and that belief lives on in every project we take on.
Following Justin’s passing, his wife Nataasja Agresta has stepped into the role of Managing Director of Saville & Co.
A qualified Building Surveyor with over 12 years of experience and a deep understanding of the business, Nash worked closely alongside Justin, both personally and professionally, to build and shape the company’s values, systems, and culture.

She leads the team with compassion, clarity and a deep sense of responsibility to both their clients and Justin’s enduring vision.
