Every which way you look these days, there are houses popping up everywhere. One day, you’ll be driving past an empty block. Next day, bang – there are a couple houses on it! Well, with our housing market evolving, we’ve definitely become savvy with our buying choices, which have lead to higher demands for builders to get more creative.
This beautiful home built by the Summit Homes Group has definitely met the challenge. When searching for a home most of us want something that looks great, is practical and affordable – a family home that’s going to last generations. For the last 40 years, Summit has been there right from the start – helping Aussie families create their dreams.
Summit has now embraced the use of steel in wall frames and roofing systems, so when you build your piece of paradise, you have the option to have a fully engineered steel roof, instead of using traditional timber.
Steel framed construction is a proven technique used on the East Coast and worldwide for many years now, as well as in WA’s commercial sector. By using it to build our own homes, it’s changing the face of WA – from sleepy city to cosmopolitan – a class all of its own!
This innovative roofing system is fully engineered and manufactured on site at our purpose built facility that runs 24/7. It’s then transported and installed onto your new home’s brickwork. Tried and tested on an industrial scale many times before, this is now exciting times for WA home builders.
