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 Newcastle, lift your margins, and run a custom-home business that doesn't depend on you alone.
The full overview of the opportunity, the model and the support, in your inbox today.
Newcastle and the Hunter are a strong, under-served premium market north of Sydney. Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley and Maitland all have clients who want a custom home built with care, without Sydney prices.
We already have builders thriving in regional NSW. A David Reid Homes franchise gives a Newcastle builder a recognised premium brand, 300+ designs and the systems to win better projects across the region.

We agree a defined territory with you. These are the kinds of markets in and around Newcastle can cover.
A premium national brand, a managed digital marketing system, a conversion-focused website and professionally produced sales collateral.
300+ standard and luxury working drawings, construction details and inclusions, plus the online plan library.
The DRH platform keeps leads, builds, plans and compliance in one place, plus approved estimating and construction management.
A full sales process and manual, letters and forms, colour and specification selection, and client reporting.
Intensive onboarding over 2.5 days, structured induction, ongoing mentoring and the annual network conference.
National supplier agreements and trade pricing negotiated across the network, on materials and the premium finishes your clients specify.
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.
