The New South Wales opportunity

Build the homes your state is known by.

New South Wales runs from Sydney's premium suburbs out to some of the strongest regional lifestyle markets in the country. The Central Coast, the Hunter, the Illawarra, the Southern Highlands and the Northern Rivers all have clients who want a custom home built properly.

We already have builders thriving in the New England, like Andrew Howard out of Inverell. A David Reid Homes franchise gives an established NSW builder the brand, the designs and the systems to win better projects and lift margins without chasing volume.

Why a David Reid Homes franchise works for your growing business

Three things hold good builders back. Here's what changes.

Never sure where the next job is coming from
Marketing that brings the right clients, backed by a digital marketing agency with 20 years in business and aimed at people planning a custom home.
Too much admin to run more than one build
The DRH Platform, built in-house: leads, builds, compliance and a client portal in one place.
Building on your own
A mentor who has done it: David Reid, a 33-year builder and 4× Franchisee of the Year, plus a network of builders who don't compete with you.

And you build custom homes, not someone else's volume range.

A very competitive franchise fee, so more of the profit stays in your business, while you still get the benefit of a national network behind you. The fees and the working capital you'll need are set out in the Disclosure Document, which we provide after your first call.
