Metricon named HIA's Top Home Builder eight years in a row

Metricon has been named Australia’s number one home builder for the eighth consecutive year with the release of the HIA COLORBOND® Steel Housing Top 100 Report.

The 2022/23 Report, which ranks Australia’s top 100 residential builders based on the number of home builds commenced each year, was released today in Melbourne. It saw Metricon top the list with a total of 4,693 starts across Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, and South Australia.

Metricon CEO Brad Duggan said Metricon’s strategic focus was very much about being the best, rather than the biggest.

“More than 90 families every week chose to commence building with Metricon in the past year, trusting us with the most important purchase of their lives. This is testament to the passion of our team including our skilled tradespeople and trusted suppliers.

Duggan said Metricon was continually evolving housing design and innovation to suit the changing needs and budgets of its customers.

"Now that our supply chain is more stable, Metricon's primary focus for the next 12 months and beyond, with the support of our suppliers and trades, is to consistently provide value for money and affordability, while prioritising speed and efficiency in the construction process to deliver high-quality homes.”

“We believe that volume home builders like Metricon play a critical role in keeping house pricing in Australia at affordable levels and in helping solve the current housing shortage across the country.”

“Homes are not going to get any cheaper, so we are constantly working on smart designs and specifications to address affordability. With interest rates now settling, I would urge any home buyer who has felt despondent about the property market, to investigate what we offer; we are sure to have a home that will meet any budget” Duggan concluded.

Nationally, there has been a decrease of 1,276 Metricon site starts compared to their 2021/2022 figures, which aligns with pre-pandemic levels and closely mirrors Metricon's forecast and planning for the next three years.
