Our story started with one man and one home. Back in 1949, our founder Gary Simonds built his first ever home for his Mum in Melbourne’s west.

This guiding vision continues to drive our commitment to providing quality and affordable homes for families at all stages of life.

Our homes are built for the community, by the community, with our local network of employees, trades and suppliers all working towards this vision as One Simonds. It is this passion, dedication and excellence that you’ll find on every Simonds job site, office environment and display centre across the country.

Masterpiece (a division of Simonds) is consistently recognised for their superior design, attention to detail and exceptional quality; 'Knock down, build yours' with Masterpiece is the pinnacle of this philosophy.
