Feature Highlight:
Mollymook Beach
Some features deserve a moment in the spotlight, and we`re loving these stairs and deck area - overflowing with coastal vibes.
South Coast Stairs (@southcoaststairs) have done a brilliant job here, with clean lines and quality craftsmanship that suit an elevated coastal build perfectly.
The glass balustrade adds a lovely touch, letting the views take centre stage without compromising on safety or style thanks to Unique Innovations (@unique.innovations.sthcoast).
Great examples of the trade talent we`re lucky to have in our local network.
It`s the combination of thoughtful design and skilled trades that turns a house into a home you`ll love for years to come.
If you`ve been thinking about building on a sloping or elevated block, come visit us at one of our display homes or reach out.
We`d love to help you bring your vision to life ❤️

THAT’S A WRAP…
on the 2026 Variety Backyard Bash - and what an adventure!!
Our team “The Sharkies” and trusty ride, Delma, completed the six-day journey, finishing in Bathurst and raising an incredible $60,000 for Variety - the Children’s Charity. That’s well over their initial target of $45,000 - and all achieved in a shorter event timeframe this year, with factors like higher petrol prices shaping the route and schedule. Didn’t slow them down one bit!
The Sharkies also took home Mug of the Bash - running out of fuel just 30 metres from the finish line in Bathurst, and requiring a gerry can delivered to her door to refuel! Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up! ✌🏽
A very special mention to the Toyota forklift crew in Albury who stepped in to help fix some braking issues along the way. That kind of generosity from strangers is exactly what this event is all about.
To everyone who -
DONATED 👊🏼
SHARED 👊🏼
CHEERED 👊🏼
From the sidelines - THANK YOU
From the bottom of our hearts. Every dollar raised goes directly to kids who need it most, and you made that happen.
And to the teammates who made this journey what it was - incredible memories, unforgettable experiences, and a whole lot of fun.
TEN YEARS IN… and already can’t wait for the next one ❤️
Sean, and The Sharkies…
and Delma 💨
