Building Angels' aim is to offer relief in the form of building and trade works to those people experiencing hardship due to misadventure, incapacity, illness and climatic disasters.
We acknowledge that a home offers stability and supports their existence and well-being.
Building Angels was founded in NSW as an Australian charity in 2013 by Mr Rocco Falcomata who has over 50 years in the Australian building industry. He started from a basis of creating a better and brighter future for those in need by using his own strengths and relationships within the building and property industry to help people in need.
He first helped families and individuals by bringing together suppliers and services for remediation work on their homes, and personally provided project management and consulting for these projects.
His natural talents and success in bringing people together with the provision of ‘in kind’ services gave him the determination to reach a wider community need.
Building Angels vision is to expand the charity’s reach and increase the number of individuals and charities we support. We will continue to build a unique model and collaborative system of support with the aim to garner contribution from the wider building community.
Building Angels is governed by a strong team and supports individual experiencing financial hardship that are in need of urgent home repairs and modifications.
Building Angels allows the wider building industry, other charities and community organisations to all work together through either direct donations or pledging services (pro-bono) and materials (in kind).
Building Angels facilitates those wanting to give-back and contribute, by using their strengths and skill sets to give directly to those in need and in so doing, build a sense of charity in the community and support Building Angels in achieving our charitable goals and help people rebuild their homes so that they can rebuild their lives.
We have a number of aspects to the organisation and are focused on remediation, modifications and building assistance to:
We help those in our community who:
"Thank you Building Angels, you have bought much relief to my daughter and her health. It would have taken me many years to be able to gather the finances to even consider a bathroom modification. I am so very thankful"
"We are so grateful to have so many kind people that were willing to help us with their kind donations in our time of need. We will never forget what Rocco, Ray and everybody involved did for us. Taking the time away from their own families to help us rebuild our lives"
"We are about supporting families to escape Domestic Violence and to move forward through life’s challenges. We had the amazing pleasure of partnering with Rocco and his team of building angels in bringing relief and support to mt clients of single mum’s who own their own properties but are struggling financially"
“Sometimes life does not go to plan through a change in circumstance or if a disaster strikes. The impact of this can affect people, those they care about and results in homes that are left in a state of ruin or disrepair, or they can be unsafe or a health hazard.”
Rocco has been a philantropist from a young age, supporting many charitable causes and always giving back to the community. He founded Building Angels by offering his time to co-ordinate building works for for those in need.
