Another step closer to lock up at our Kingsville knockdown rebuild.
The carpenters are on site preparing the home for cladding, with plenty happening as we work towards getting the home fully enclosed.
It’s great to see this family’s new home taking shape, and we’ll keep sharing the progress as we move through each stage.
