\u201cWe’re in a very fortunate situation to be ranked number one for the sixth consecutive year and to have grown Metricon\u2019s share of the national residential build market during this boom time for construction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a demonstration of the dedication of our national team, our passion for what we do, and most importantly the Australian families we do it for.<\/p>\n
The report shows that the loss of overseas migration last year hit the apartment market almost immediately.<\/p>\n
Overseas students, tourists and migrants often stay in multi-unit dwellings when they first arrive in the country.<\/p>\n
This trend was exacerbated by the shift in consumer preferences towards lower density housing.<\/p>\n
With this boom in home building, the minimum number of homes required to make it onto HIA\u2019S Top 100 list has rose from 108 to 125, the highest in the 28 years that the report has been released.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur site starts increased by 33 per cent year on year, that represents another 1518 families building a new home with us this year or an additional 29 each week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have learnt so much along the way about managing COVID-19 lockdowns and have extensive safety procedures in place to keep working safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe agree with the state and Federal governments, that vaccination is the most pragmatic pathway to a life out of lockdown, consistent business operations and keeping our employees, trades and customers safe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
