Metricon reported 4,015 new home starts across four states in 2024/25, once again securing its leadership position for the tenth year in a row. In second place, ABN Group delivered 3,530 homes, consolidating its strength across Western Australia and Victoria.
In WA, Home Group WA again took out the first position starting 2,243 Western Australian Homes in 2024/25. ABN Group were second with 1,685, Summit Homes Group closely followed in third with 1,636, Scott Park Group were fourth with 1,312 and JWH Group rounded out the top five with 1,048. The top five WA builders were all amongst the top fifteen volume home builders in the country.
HIA Executive Director Michael McGowan said he was proud of WA’s contribution on the national stage.
”Given the turbulent conditions the industry has faced in WA over the last 10 years it’s fantastic that WA builders have been able to continue to deliver high quality homes for their customers.
“WA’s home building market is unique to many other states in Australia with Top 10 builders in WA delivering 46 per cent of WA’s total housing supply, the highest in the country,” said Mr McGowan.
“The majority of the builders in WA have not only been busy building houses, as the results show, but also consolidating their businesses to make them more resilient and ready for further growth.
“The demand for housing in WA remains incredibly high so we don’t expect WA builders to slow down anytime soon. The future is not without its challenges including the availability of serviced lots and the continual need to address labour constraints, however current stability and industry certainty allows for increased innovation and development.
“A strong pipeline of work presents an opportunity for more people to enter a career in residential construction, and we are seeing this play out as more young people consider where their future lies with the introduction of automation and AI.
“Now is an excellent time to join the industry and gain work and life skills that could set you up for a great career,” Mr McGowan concluded.
Nationally, the Housing 100 builders delivered 64,407 homes in 2024/25, up 11 per cent from last year’s 58,011. Nearly two-thirds of businesses on the list increased their activity, and 14 new entrants joined the rankings.
Key findings from the 2024/25 Housing 100 include:
