Company director Charlie Lou started the company around three years ago but has a decade of development expertise behind him and a background running hotels in China. He says this has given him unique insight into building technology and trends that has resulted in specific touches to Concord Homes’ product that is not the industry norm. For example Concord Homes houses come with superior cabling to allow people to install security CCTV cameras, EV car chargers and other intelligent home features such as a doorbell system that they can log into via their cell phone or computer to virtually ‘answer’ the door when they are not at home, speaking to the visitor, via a cell network intercom system. Technology also extends to how Concord Homes runs its business and interacts with customers to provide a seamless build experience. The company utilises a project management system where customers can login online and select items for their home and view progress reports and photos.

The main home totals 180sqm and offers open plan living/dining/kitchen and four bedrooms and two bathrooms including a master bedroom with ensuite. The granny flat is set on 60sqm and offers open plan living/dining/ kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. Clad in cedar and weatherboard, the home is also a bit unique in that it is very high spec including fully tiled bathrooms and timber floors.
