The Lamprey family have been building in the Burnie, Tasmania area for over 50 years. In 2019, Terry and Vicki Lamprey took the leap, along with most of their family, and started building under TM & VF Lamprey Builders for the first time.

The main location of their current projects is in Burnie, but their preferred area is between Wynyard and Ulverstone. “We have been known to build further along the north-west coast and never say never for the right project, be it a new build or renovation,” says Terry. They construct between eight and 10 homes per year, with values up to $1.2 million, many for investor clients. “We have a good pipeline of investors from both Tasmania and the mainland of Australia to supplement our local clients, they find the Tasmanian housing sector very lucrative for rental properties,” says Terry. “In Sydney you’d pay a million dollars for a house and get $750 per week for it. In Tasmania a million dollars would get you two houses and you’ll get $600 per week for each.” Recently, the company started a job in Ulverstone, just 25 kilometres west of their headquarters.
