About Us
DESIGN - CONFIRM - CONSTRUCT
Founded in 2016, Home Group Ltd (Home Group of Companies) was created with a clear purpose: to bring multiple specialist sub-trades together under one roof.
In traditional construction, sub-trades often work in isolation.
This disconnect can lead to miscommunication, knowledge gaps, and issues that could have been avoided.
Builders and architects carry the responsibility of bringing everything together, yet they can’t be expected to know every detail across all trades.
That’s where we step in.
At Home Group, we believe sub-trades should provide practical solutions that prevent onsite challenges, minimise costly overruns, and eliminate the blame game.
Our mission is simple: to change the way the building process works — creating collaboration, reducing risk, and delivering better outcomes for everyone involved.
Our Journey
Every business has a story — ours is one of resilience, reinvention, and a commitment to doing things right.
From the start, our vision was simple: bring together design, doors, and hardware under one roof, and deliver smarter, more reliable solutions to the construction industry. Along the way, we’ve faced challenges — some within our control, some not — but each shaped us into a company that values clarity, precision, and service above all else.
Our focus is solving one of the industry’s biggest problems: a lack of correct information.
Frames built to the wrong size. No allowance for flooring. Incorrect doors specified for compliance. Hardware schedules that don’t match project requirements. These mistakes cost time, money, and reputation.
At Homegroup, we don’t just supply — we check, confirm, and guide.
Our process is simple: Design → Confirm → Construct. Get it right first, then build with confidence.

Today & Beyond
We’ve rebuilt stronger, with a nationwide reach and a focus on getting it right first.
Our role is not just to supply, but to ensure the industry has the right information and the right products, the first time.
We’re here to help builders, architects, and developers move from:
-
Design → clarity in planning
-
Confirm → accuracy in specification
-
Construct → confidence in delivery
Because when the right advice comes first, the build always follows better.
