What Ausbuild does

Ausbuild Pty. Ltd. is a privately held, family-owned residential land developer and home builder headquartered in Morningside, Queensland, with operations across South East Queensland. Founded in 1988 by Ron Loney and Graham Bell, the company is now led by second-generation Managing Directors Matthew Bell, Matthew Loney, and Michael Loney. It develops master-planned communities — currently nine active sites across Moreton Bay, Logan, and Brisbane growth corridors, including flagship projects Montrose at Morayfield (700 lots), The Sanctuary at Warner, and Prominence at Pallara (1,100+ homes built) — and pairs these with 60+ pre-designed home floor plans across Refined Living and Everyday Living collections.

The company's core product is the combined "home and land" package, delivered under fixed-price contracts with a Price Lock Guarantee and Fixed Build Time Guarantee, and built to a 7-star equivalent energy rating with a 60/100 NatHERS Whole of Home rating under Australia's National Construction Code 2022. Ausbuild holds Queensland Building and Construction Commission Licence 21710. Supporting layers include an in-person and digital Design Studio, tiered upgrade packages (Extraordinary Offer, Complete Home Upgrade, Premium Upgrade), and a Deposit Assist program that lowers the initial build deposit to A$1,000. Marketing and lead generation flow through display villages, an AgentAccess partner portal for real estate agents, and a multi-year community partnership with the Dolphins NRL.

The revenue model is predominantly one-time transactional: sale of developed land lots and construction of individual homes within those communities, monetised at completion. Ancillary recurring revenue flows through affiliated services — The Funding Firm and Loan Market mortgage broking, plus referenced commercial property, shopping centre, and retirement living investments — and through a 6-year structural warranty program that supports referrals. The company is family-controlled with no disclosed institutional capital and serves first home buyers, families, and SEQ residents.
