A great day on site at our West Footscray knockdown rebuild, with the carpenters busy working on the frame.
This is always a great stage for the family, as they can start to walk through their new home and get a feel for the size of each room and how everything will flow.
It’s coming along really well, and we’re looking forward to sharing more progress from this project soon.

Our Essendon North Show Home is in the running for the 2026 HIA Victoria People’s Choice Home Award, and we’d love your support in helping us take home the title!
With 15 incredible homes in the running, this award is a little different, because the winner is decided entirely by the public.
We’re incredibly proud of what our team has created, and having our show home recognised alongside some of Victoria’s best homes means a lot to us.
Voting is now open until Monday 26 October at 12pm. To show your support, simply head to the link in our bio, find our Essendon North Show Home and click the heart to cast your vote.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

The roof is going on at our Avondale Heights project, bringing this family’s new home another step closer to being fully enclosed.
With the frame complete and the roof now being installed, there’s plenty of progress happening on site as we get ready for the next stage.
