Welcome to DirectBuild’s June 2013 NewsletterDear Julianne, 2013 HIA Sydney Home Show This year’s HIA Sydney Home Show was extremely successful. The number of visitors to the Home Show was higher than in previous years and there seemed to be a much greater awareness of the advantages of owner building among those who attended. The team at DirectBuild wishes to thank everyone who visited our Stand at the Home Show and it was especially great to see so many of our successful owner builder clients once again. It has been our experience that people often visit the home show well before they plan to start their home renovation or building works. They are looking for ideas and inspiration as well as considering their options. We spoke to many people about the merits of owner building compared to using a project home solution or engaging a builder. Should you have any questions about the services DirectBuild offers to its owner builder clients, you are encouraged to call us on (02) 9713 7428 or email rwilkie@directbuild.com.au. We would be only too pleased to assist. |
