volume. That’s the model that we have now, where we do a lot of volume.” “We concentrate on knock-down rebuilds and predominately all we do is duplexes,” he says. “Ninety percent of our work is duplex work.” In terms of size and cost, Peter says that ZAC Homes offers a “diverse” range of projects “We still do the odd granny flat,” he says, with a recent project coming in at $180,000. On the opposite end of the scale the company’s current jobs include work on a duplex that has a price tag of around $2.8 million. High standards and quality workmanship help set ZAC Homes apart from the competition. Peter explains how he brings quality control to the building process. “I instill in my supervisors that every house should be built the same. The only difference is the finish or the product, so the quality of the workmanship would be the same in every home. They should all be built as if I was the one moving in, so I have a high standard of quality when we hand them over.” Offering custom designs is another ZAC Homes difference. “A lot of the home builders are like a sausage factory, they just mass produce the same product,” Peter explains. “That’s a good model to have, but we do knock-down rebuilds…it’s not just a standard product because every brownfield and block of land is a different size, and the clients want to maximize the size of duplex they can get on so we custom design to suit either the counsel’s requirements or we sometimes go CDC trying to simplify…to speed it up.” Peter points out that the company’s end-to-end approach is also a big selling point with clients.
