Paul & Loryn love Erowal Bay.
The beauty, the community, the serenity... none of that was ever in question.
But the house? That was a different story. So they made the decision to rebuild.
This is a moment a lot of homeowners reach. You love where you live, truly love it, but the house doesn`t fit anymore. Maybe it was built for a different family, a different era, a different way of living. Maybe it`s simply run its course.
And yet the block, the street, the view, the feeling of home in that particular spot, none of that has changed. Thats exactly the case for Paul & Loryn. So their Mandalay home is now underway on their block in Erowal Bay, and we couldn`t be more excited for their journey!
Sometimes the answer isn`t moving on. It`s building again, right where you already are.

SIXTEEN years 🫶🏽
When we think about what makes our team what it is, Mel comes straight to mind.
One of the first to join our G.J. Gardner family, Mel has been a cornerstone of the Shoalhaven office (and all others to follow) for sixteen years. As Senior Construction Admin, she keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes, works hard, yet always finds time for a laugh along the way (big kudos for that!)
Sixteen years of showing up. Sixteen years of dedication. Sixteen years of being the backbone of what we do.
We’re clearly doing something right for our staff to stand by our side for this incredible amount of time!
Thank you, Mel. From all of us. ❤️
Four offices, one united team.

The Excitement is REAL!
There`s nothing quite like the moment a build gets underway. Recently, Sue sent through this brilliant photo from her block, and honestly, the excitement says it all.
As our Harvey Norman Commercial Rep, Sue knows a thing or two about quality and service. It means a lot when someone with that kind of industry insight chooses to build their own home with us.

Here`s to the start of something special, Sue. We can`t wait to watch this one come to life.

Site Update:
Mollymook Beach
Slab down. Bricks on site. Views for days.
Things are moving along at John & Karen`s new build in Mollymook Beach. Lucky Shoalhaven Coastal Bricklaying who are working with that backdrop - honestly, what a block to be building on!
This is one of those early stages that doesn`t always get the attention it deserves. Getting the slab right and the materials prepped and ready means the build can move efficiently from here, with no delays and no surprises.
We love seeing a site come together like this. Exciting things ahead for John & Karen.
If you`re thinking about building in the Shoalhaven, come and have a chat with our team - or visit one of our display homes to see the quality for yourself.
Feel the joy building ❤️
