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.

A premium opportunity, a smart entry

A royalty well below what you'd expect, and capped.

You operate at the high end with a royalty that sits well below what you'd expect for a franchise of this calibre, and it's capped. The royalty applies up to a build value of $2.2 million; on any build worth more than that, you pay nothing on the value above the cap.

In practice the cap sits comfortably above most builds, so for the bulk of your work the royalty is simply what you'd expect. It's on the occasional high-end home past $2.2M where the cap really pays: your largest projects reward you the most.
