The History of Newstart Homes

Newstart Homes was established in 1987 and in 1994, Newstart was listed amongst Business Review Weekly’s (BRW) Top 100 Growing Companies.

This steady growth plan continued throughout the 1990’s culminating in a decision by the original owners to split the company into two separate entities – Newstart Homes (Nth Qld) and Newstart Homes (SE Qld) Pty Ltd.

Newstart Homes (SE Qld) Pty Ltd was acquired in May 2000 by national homebuilder Home Australia Pty Ltd, a private company wholly owned by Bob Day and John Smith.

Home Australia Pty Ltd now provides the banner under which Homestead Homes in SA, Collier Homes in WA, Newstart Homes in QLD, Ashford Homes in VIC and Huxley Homes in NSW operate.

Newstart Homes has now become the builder of choice with an excellent level of inclusions as standard known as our "Platinum" inclusions. Enjoy the BIG BRAND benefits of BOSCH, HANSA and much more. Combine the BIG value, MASSIVE list of standard inclusions, QUALITY backed by our "LIFETIME STRUCTURAL GUARANTEE*" with the fact you can customise any of our plans (or we can create and build your own design) and it's easy to see why Newstart Homes has become the leader in home building in South East Queensland.
