About Dennis Family Homes
About Us
From our inception, founder Bert Dennis focused his energies on putting home ownership in the hands of as many families as possible.
It was the perspective that inspired his deep-seated belief that “Every Family Should Be Able to Afford a Place to Call Home” and the ethos upon how he built his family business.
Building a home is one of the biggest financial decisions a person will make in their lifetime, therefore when you trust Dennis Family Homes to build your dream, you can be assured you are in the hands of an experienced, confident and secure builder, who over 30,000 families have also trusted to make their dream house feel like home.
For whatever home means to you
Over time, particularly here in the lucky country, times have changed for the better and a ‘home’ no longer simply means a roof over one’s head, a place of safety and certainty, or even simply four walls and a roof.
For families of today, ‘home’ means so much more. Still spaces for living, today’s modern families command more. A home reflects their values, ideals, personalities, dreams, their place in the world, a visible reward, a source of enormous pride and thepromise of a better life. One thing is for sure, it means something different to everyone.
It can be gloriously messy or minimalistic bliss.
It can be Mum, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.
Or just you and your goldfish.
It can be filled with the laughter of children or filled with expensive furniture.
Or both if you like to live dangerously.
A home should be everything your family needs to feel safe, comfortable and happy. That’s why Dennis Family Homes work with families of all shapes and sizes to help them create their own personal meaning of ‘home’.
From humble beginnings to becoming one of Australia’s most respected property development and home building companies.
Across our broader company structure, we don’t just build homes, we are part of a wider group of companies that includes extensive land developments and retail and commercial holdings. This diversity provides Dennis Family Homes the unique advantage of drawing resources and support from this significant asset base. It is for these reasons, that although the construction industry is challenged momentarily, our breadth of securities, financial assets, buying power and conservative approach to financial management places us in a position of strength.
