“Continuing its place at the top of the ladder, Hunter based NEX Building Group were recognised as the fifth largest home builder in Australia with 2,559 starts in 2023/24. This included building 2,062 detached houses, making them the fifth largest builder for this type of home, and second on the list of the largest semi-detached dwelling builders nationally, with 497 starts.
“NEX Building Group, which trades predominantly in NSW as McDonald Jones Homes and Mojo Homes, also retained its established mantle as the #1 detached home builder in NSW, and second overall, with 1130 starts during 2023/24.
“With 175 starts, Belmont based Montgomery Homes, was ranked the 62nd largest home builder nationally and 16th largest in NSW.
“Placed 80th nationally, and on the list for the third consecutive year, was Heatherbrae based Hunter Homes with 110 starts,” said Mr Jennion.
The key highlights from this year’s HIA-COLORBOND® steel Housing 100 Report 2023/24 shows that:
- Businesses on this year's list built 4,682 more homes than those on the previous year's list, marking an 8.5 per cent increase.
- Homes built by the largest 100 builders accounted for 38 per cent of the new home market, up from 33 per cent in the previous year.
- The top 10 builders were responsible for 44 per cent of homes built by the Housing 100, while the top 20 builders accounted for 64 per cent, figures consistent with previous years.
