The Tasmania opportunity

Build the homes your state is known by.

Tasmania is a small but genuine market for design-led custom homes. Hobart and Launceston have a strong appetite for architectural, heritage-sensitive work, and the waterfront and rural lifestyle blocks across the state suit a premium builder rather than a volume one.

We are looking for the right Tasmanian builder to carry the David Reid Homes name. You get a recognised premium brand, a library of 300+ designs and the systems to run a custom-home business that does not depend on you holding every piece together.

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.
