Stylish, low-maintenance urban living is no longer limited to cities. More people are moving to our regional towns for the quality of life they offer, while keeping some of the benefits of city living. These homeowners wanted that balance in a clever new build, and that’s exactly what they got.


“We honestly couldn't recommend Kit-Markin Homes enough.”

We connected really well with Josh from Kit-Markin Homes from day one.

We were after something bespoke and a bit different. In the past, we’d built with a higher-end housing company, but they used contract builders who were juggling half a dozen builds at once – we felt like just another number.

This time, we wanted a more personal building experience, tailored to what we actually wanted. Josh was heavily involved with the architect from the early stages, and we felt the suggestions he put forward were genuinely considered. He even helped save costs on things we didn’t really need. We also felt he had a solid understanding of the design process, and his input came from real experience – the points he raised were valid and helpful.

Throughout construction, our needs were met. With our previous build, communication was minimal – this time, Josh was an excellent project manager, and we never felt pressured. Because we made our finish and colour selections early, any delays were avoided – we didn’t want the hold-up to be on us!

We trusted the Kit-Markin team so much that we went overseas during the build, and when we returned, our home was basically ready for us to move into.

We were also thrilled to hear that our build won a Gold Award. Achieving one of these is no small feat, so we were incredibly happy for Josh and the Kit-Markin team. After all their hard work, it was a well-deserved and reassuring reward.

We honestly couldn’t recommend Kit-Markin Homes enough. We’ve since completed our second project with them, and we’re just as happy the second time around.
