A custom home builder franchise opportunity in Brisbane

You already know how to build. A David Reid Homes franchise gives you the brand, the plans, the systems and the buying power to win better projects across Brisbane, lift your margins, and run a custom-home business that doesn't depend on you alone.

  • A recognised premium brand, so you compete on reputation, not the cheapest quote.
  • 300+ market-ready luxury and custom designs, plus proven building systems.
  • A capped royalty: past $2.2M of build value, the rest is yours to keep.

The Brisbane opportunity

Build the homes your city is known by.

Brisbane's established inner suburbs and the rapid premium growth across the south-east make it one of the country's most promising custom-home markets. Paddington, Bardon, Ascot, Hamilton and the western suburbs all reward design-led building.

Our head office sits just east of the city in Capalaba, so a Brisbane franchisee has the support team, training and design library close at hand. You get a premium national brand and the platform to scale a custom-home business.

A premium opportunity, a smart entry

A royalty well below what you'd expect, and capped.

You operate at the high end with a royalty that sits well below what you'd expect for a franchise of this calibre, and it's capped. The royalty applies up to a build value of $2.2 million; on any build worth more than that, you pay nothing on the value above the cap.

In practice the cap sits comfortably above most builds, so for the bulk of your work the royalty is simply what you'd expect. It's on the occasional high-end home past $2.2M where the cap really pays: your largest projects reward you the most.
